UF coach Dan Mullen brushes off Texas coaching rumors

The once-proud Longhorns could be looking for someone to replace Tom Herman, especially if the right head coach is available.

Luring Urban Meyer out of retirement is on the wish list of Texas’ big-money boosters, but Mullen might be the hottest commodity in the college game right now. The Gators have rapidly risen from the ashes of a four-win 2017 season to go 29-6 under Mullen, culminating with Saturday’s SEC East-clinching win.

“I’m just happy to be the head coach for the Florida Gators right now, getting ready to go to Atlanta and play for an SEC championship,” Mullen said.
