Florida fires Dan Mullen, per reports

The Florida Gators are parting ways with Dan Mullen, according to multiple reports. On3Sports’ Matt Zenitz was first to the news, closely followed by ESPN’s Chris Low.

Mullen’s Gators are 5-6, and fell to Missouri in a 24-23 overtime loss on Saturday. They have lost their last five games against Power Five teams, went 2-6 in SEC play this year, and are just 5-9 in their last 14 games, dating back to an 0-3 close to the 2020 season.

That 5-9 skid proved too much for Florida to grin and bear despite the success that came before it, with Mullen running up a 29-6 record in his first 35 games as head coach in Gainesville and collecting wins over Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, and Miami on the way.
