New Florida football coach Dan Mullen is in football heaven

ATLANTA - Dan Mullen, it's time to put up or shut up as Florida's new football coach.

"I know it's a high-pressure job, but I love that," Mullen said Tuesday (July 17) during SEC Media Days at the College Football Hall of Fame. "I love the expectations."

You are no longer coaching Mississippi State.

"My family and I, we gave everything we had to Mississippi State for nine years," Mullen said.

State is a school that has a limited number of academically eligible in-state prospects, a low-end budget and virtually no championship tradition (one lone SEC title won in 1941).
