    Dan Mullen is leaving Mississippi St. and heading to Florida

    Details are being finalized but it looks like a done deal.

    I wonder if Frost is going to Nebraska. I think he was Florida’s second choice.

    Frost is going to Nebraska. Mullen is a good coach. He’ll have Florida relevant again within a year or two.

    Best place for first tier SEC schools to find their head coaches is 2nd tier SEC schools with successful coaches.

    Damn he was their 3rd option. Wonder how that will play out in the money talks?

    Chip Kelly said nope, reports are Frost turned down an offer this weekend, so they fell back on Mullen?

    I don’t know if everyone saw this one coming.

    Recently there were some radio stations and podcasts that played an old interview with Mullen’s wife.

    She stated they did not like Florida when he was the OC because of constant harassment from the Florida fan base. She would be grocery shopping and then approached by strangers who would berate her about her husband’s mistakes.

    Most commentators; however, did speculate that he would leave Starkville.

    This has failure written all over it. The Tebow years are not coming back. Mullen is ok, but not an offensive genius by any means. Richt and Jimbo are licking their chops over this hire. Miami and FSU will dominate Florida with this hire.

    She might can get ready to expect more of that then. I think it'll be rough for a year maybe a year and a half, two years. After they've weathered the storm then maybe things will change. Florida's defense and run game got worse. Next year 2nd game again bat UK who will remember this year. 5th game in Starksville, yummy.

    idk why i waste the keystrokes, on anything jt says, but you're kinda going to have struggles when your all-conf rb and wr get suspended all year, and then the rest of your team gets injured or quit

    UF is about as quick of a turnaround team as possible

    Mullen had the same record as Sumlin. One gets a promotion, one gets fired.

    Everyone in the East battling it out for 2nd behind Georgia for the foreseeable future. This hire at least gives Florida a shot

    After Frost & Kelly turned them down, where else was there to go? This isn’t the year to be looking for a coach

    Even Dak Prescott said he's surprised today that Dan would return but that money talks.

    I don't understand why a coach leaves a program... in which there's really no reason to leave.

    No loyalty?

    Stricklin always had Mullen as a top candidate. He did his due diligence on Kelly and backed off because of the show cause. Gators aren't taking any coach with NCAA problems. I'm hearing UF is paying Mullen $7.5 million a year. That's pretty insane but they needed a guy with experience.

    Huh? Jimbo is headed to Texas A&M and Richt still can't win the big one. The Gators will be okay.

    I thought Fitzgerald was a senior, I see he's only a junior. Well Florida is a higher profile school anyway. Mullen had been at State long enough I guess, 9 years, just weird seeing coaches coach one year at a school and then the next year in the same conference, this never happened when I was growing up. Even if a coach got fired and sat out a few years theyed come back and coach at a school not in the conference.

    You're right, except too bad Florida refuses to play Miami anymore

    Yea the money has gotten insane. You have to feel bad for the kids locked in scholarships that commit to a coach then the coach bails.

    Miss st got a really good young coach in Moorhead. His staff hires are going to be very important for recruiting.

    LOL really? Where do I start with this bullshit? Jimbo might not even be coaching FSU next season. Florida really only needs a qb to fix a lot of their problems...Mullen’s track record speaks for itself, especially with dual threat qbs. Justin Fields is already reconsidering Florida. Not a Florida fan by any means but this is just flat out stupid

    SEC coaching scramble is full speed.....Tennessee is a dumpster fire nobody wants it. Miss State locked in....Ole Miss had the NCAA infractions today.....Aggies got Jimbo but who does FSU get? Arkansas is a mess but rumored to get Gus from Auburn next month which opens up Auburn job.
