Dan Mullen's dream job has officially opened up and I don't think he lets it get past him twice.

I understand why he wasn't offered the job last coaching search for Florida but this time it will be completely different.

Dan Mullen's History with the University of Florida

OC/QB Coach 2005-2008

Mentored Chris Leak, and Heisman Winner Tim Tebow

2 Time National Champion (2006, 2008)

So in his 3 years at The University of Florida he churned out 1 Heisman Winner and Two National Championships led by his Offense.

Now lets look at some other notable accomplishments in Dan Mullen's Coaching Career.

Mississippi State Head Coach

2009-Current

Overall - 67-44 - .656 Winning %

SEC Overall - 32-37

Bowl Wins - 5-2 - .400 Winning %

AP SEC Coach of the Year (2014)

Athlon SEC Coach of the Year (2014)

Maxwell Football Club Coach of the Year (2014)

Brought Mississippi State University to #1 in the AP Polls and held that position for 4 straight weeks.

Mentored Dak Prescott, who should have won the Heisman in 2016

- Starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys

- 2016 NFL Rookie of the Year

You can look at his overall record and say that percentage is skewed by a weak OOC Schedule which it is. You can also say the man has a losing record in the SEC, which he does. The thing is look where he is at, he's at Mississippi State and they have had their best years they will probably ever have under Dan Mullen. I know Dak was a very special player but it still takes skill to become the #1 team in the Nation. Under Dan Mullen, Mississippi State has been competitive in games against upper echelon SEC teams and that's something that doesn't happen at Mississippi State.

I think this is Dan's perfect storm to finally make a move, he has an AD in Scott Stricklin that likes and trusts him. He would be able to return to the East were his only real competition is UGA, so he is in a way easier Division. He would also be able to pull in Elite talent at The University of Florida that he hasn't had since the left Florida.

If Dan doesn't make this move I am convinced he is a pussy and is content with winning 7 to 8 games a year for a University he knows won't ever fire him.

This is the third time Florida has been hiring since Mullen has been at State.

If it happens, fire up the plane trackers to Starkville.

That he is, I have no clue how he turned that shite Fitz into a competent QB. He still can't throw the ball worth a shite but Dan's scheme for him is perfect for his ability.

Is anyone else starting to feel sorry for these Ole Miss posters? It's like they've become so hopeless that they have no shame. Still worth it?

His wife hates Gainesville. He's already paid 4+ million.

No desperation here, we suck and will suck for a long time, I've accepted that fact.

Question is who will be your next head coach?

And OP failed to mention Dan's latest, and perhaps greatest, accomplishment:

He brought the University of Mississippi's corrupt football network to an all-too-familiar position - on their collective knees, but this time they're sniveling and begging for mercy.

Here's to you Mullen, you magnificent bastard! You may very well be retired from coaching by the time OlMiss recovers from this

We're sharks now dbag.

Can't get mad at people plugging Mullen at FL. He coached there. His former AD from State is there as well. These things you already know. The big kicker is he won't have to win anybody over in an interview, all he will have to do is say "yes".

He could be paid 6+ Million and how in the hell do you not hate Starkville if she hates Gainesville

That extra 2-3 Million a year will keep her mouth shut

He's done a good job, albeit with some bad losses, at MSU. Yes, yes, his defenders will start screaming "but he's better then Beilema" after I bring that up. Well dysentery is better then what Arkansas has had the last few years.

He has had some bad losses but he's working with a severe recruiting disadvantage. MSU shares a small state with two other established football programs and the threat of Alabama reaching over and cherry picking recruits.

Mullen is a hard working coach who is battle tested in the SEC. With Kirby Smart looking to build a dynasty at Georgia the Gators can't settle for "well he had a halfway decent season as head coach of UMass." You need someone who isn't blundering into the SEC blind.

He has a good eye for talent, and Mullen can develop a QB. Florida desperately needs that right now. If I was the Florida AD Dan Mullen would be my first choice and I'd make him a serious offer.

I agree. Mullen will bounce with the quickness from State if offered the Florida job. Money and a legitimate chance at at title will trump his wife's dislike for Gainsville.
