He encouraged Mesquite West HS QB Chason Virgil to graduate early. He is now 16 days from graduation.
Mullen now has pulled the offer to let the kid fend for himself.
Mesquite West coach Jeff Neill :
@neill_jeff: Miss St. pulls scholarship from our QB Chason Virgil w/16 days til graduation. Classless move by "coach" Dan Mullen
Either Mullen likes to turn off the entire state of Texas or he is stalling Virgil for an impending move to Florida.

For every kid with a scholarship pulled prior to signing day, a kid decommits from that same team with no warning. It goes both ways.

InB4 "Mullen does this all the time and that coach is being a butt hurt bitch."

Just a part of recruiting... sucks for the kid though.
These football programs have the right to do what's in their best interest.

Mullen got the kid going academically and made him feel good about himself up until 16 days before graduating. Then gave him an important life lesson.
Seems like Mullen really did a lot for him, and he is getting slammed.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for the kid? I'm sure he has dozens of other offers.

As Florida's coach, he will offer a scholarship next week.

Don't blame him for wanting to get away from soft Texas kids.

Mullen hasn't been able to recruit against A&M, especially in Texas, but if he did, this would be great ammo.

there's got to be more to this story. otherwise, mullen is a no good piece of shite.

Any way you slice it this was a crap move by Mullen. Even doing this a month ago would have been much better because now the kid is essentially graduating in 2 weeks and his HS team in playoffs. If he doesn't win this weekend he won't even have another chance for other college coaches to see him play and who knows how many coaches can make it out to see him on short notice. He had a nice offer list long ago before he committed but who knows if any of those offers still exist. He also won't get a chance to take Official Visits or check out those schools if they are interested. The kid is going to have to pray he can still get a decent offer and likely has to take it with at best a very rushed evaluation process.

Engie is going to fight you IRL.
Don't worry, he's fat AF.

When you suddenly find yourself as a national power and the flagship university of your state you simply can't pass scholarships out to any Tom, Dick, or Harry. You have to be selective - only the truly elite may Grind.

He's pissed off too many HS coaches in Florida to coach at UF
Posted on 11/21/14 at 9:53 am to agswin
So Mullen to UF

Chason Virgil -35 tds/6int passing -8td rushing. One of the best young people I've ever coached -only flaw was trusting "coach" Mullen.
Apparently Coach Neill is still a little perturbed.
