I’m stoked. Deep down, this is the only hire that made sense. Especially with Stricklin’s ties to MSU.

So glad it wasn't Norvell or Tagg. Had to many questions.
Mullen is a good hire. Not elite. But damn good. Tenn got Schiano LOL....so let's just praise the lord we aren't them

Wasn't my first choice but he has my support 100%. He has a history of developing QB's. If he keeps Seider and Rumph I will be happy I'm up in the air about a couple of the other guys.
It seems Stricklin missed with Kelly, Taggart said no thanks and Frost turned down our interview. This was an easy pick for him after that. Already has a history with him no need for a real vetting process. I know a lot of fans think he took the easy way out on this hire.
If the 7 million a year rumor is true. I am not happy about that.
Their leading receiver has 275 yards. Our crappy offense currently has two WRs with > 400 yards. 108th ranked passing offense (68 more yards than us). This Is kind of concerning.

I'll be skeptical af until proven otherwise. Mullen better not drop a South Alabama game at full strength here or at all here. Hope he brings Buckley, hevesy and Gonzales

Gator Fans:
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I introduce to you the University of Florida’s 27th head football coach, Dan Mullen.
As we embarked on this coaching search a couple of weeks ago, there were key traits we were looking for in the new head coach, such as a strong work ethic and great competitiveness. We wanted to determine if he had the toughness and confidence to lead our young men and be the face of this program. Coach Mullen embodies these traits and is ready for the challenges ahead.
I also wanted Florida football to be fun again. Fun for our fans, student-athletes, staff and this University.
Dan Mullen certainly checks those boxes and so many more. He will put together an organized plan to compete for championships and make us all proud.
The search was exhaustive, one that has included countless conversations with people in the college football industry and a thorough review of statistical and analytical data trends on numerous candidates.
In the end, I strongly believe Dan is the most prepared candidate to have immediate and long-term success at the University of Florida. Coach Mullen is one of the best offensive minds in all of college football, and has an unbelievable track record in tutoring successful quarterbacks (such as Alex Smith, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, Dak Prescott and Nick Fitzgerald.)
Coach Mullen will do a tremendous job in developing accountability and toughness through a well-coordinated strength and conditioning program. Dan will work closely with the coaching staff, academic advising staff and administrative team to give every student athlete he coaches the opportunity to grow and excel at a high level athletically, academically and socially.
Dan has obviously been a part of some of the greatest moments in Florida football history when he was the offensive coordinator for the Gators from 2005-08. Those teams won two national championships, two SEC Championships, featured the first sophomore Heisman Trophy winner and won 23 of 25 games in The Swamp.
He built similar great moments at Mississippi State, leading them to a school-record, eight-consecutive bowl berths, and to the school’s first-ever number one ranking during a five-week stretch in 2014, which included the Bulldogs earning the No. 1 spot in the inaugural College Football playoff ranking.
On a personal level, this was a challenging situation because I’m proud of the job Dan did at MSU, my alma mater. However, as the Gators’ Athletic Director, my sole responsibility is to make decisions that are best for the University of Florida, and that is why Dan Mullen is our new head football coach.
Thanks for your continued support as we move into the next chapter of Florida football and for the loyalty and passion you have for Gator Athletics.
Let’s go have some fun, and let’s Go Gators!
