Gators coach Dan Mullen aims to improve after public relations miscues

Few can match UF coach Dan Mullen’s Xs and Os ability, but when it comes to public relations, the 48-year-old admits he has thing or two to learn.

The 2020 season ended on a sour note for the Gators, who were in the thick of the College Football playoff race until three losses to end the season.

Before his team’s late-season stumbles on the field, Mullen made some missteps off it that were criticized.

“There are probably some times I said things that, you know, may be regrettable, maybe didn’t come off the right way, maybe got interpreted a different way and probably in the time and the light maybe, got legs of its own,” Mullen said Tuesday, two days prior the start of Gators’ spring practices.
