All the buzz in the Gators’ media landscape is surrounding new head coach Billy Napier and his vast plan to bring Florida back to its former glory. Dan Mullen, the former head coach, was in the spotlight prior to Napier’s hiring and was often the direct target of so many fans’ radioactively hot rage. Once Napier became the darling of the news cycle, though, his predecessor seems to have completely fallen out of the public consciousness.
Aside from the odd public sighting here and there and relentless taunting from Georgia fans after the ‘Dawgs won the National Championship, we haven’t heard much of anything about Mullen in recent weeks. He’s a football lifer, though, and is positively looking for a way back into the game. That might be a little tough given the circumstances surrounding his firing, but it’s doable for someone with his skill set and experience.
Now that we’ve put a little distance in the rearview mirror since his firing, let’s examine Mullen’s options for the 2022 season and where his career may take him next.
