When Dan Mullen took over the Florida program, he made a commitment to turn around a culture so far removed from the standard it used to hold.
The expectations at Florida are so high, yet the team has performed so poorly in recent years that winning became a relief and losing became an all-too-familiar fear.
That is not something that can be reversed overnight. It is a psychological hindrance and it will take time to truly fix it.
“I talked to our team about this and I want to make sure they understand, man, I hate losing and I love winning,” Mullen said.
