It was a wild 72 days for Dan Mullen.
After being introduced as the head coach of the Florida Gators Mullen completely rebuilt a coaching staff, dealt with the fate of eight players that were previously suspended and hit the road recruiting.
Recruiting, by necessity, would take precedent.
“One of the toughest things within how the calendar works in college football, when you take over a new program, is I’ve spent more time away from Gainesville and with recruits than I have with our current players, and now I’m really excited to be back here,” Mullen said after announcing his first recruiting class.
