UF coach Dan Mullen received a three-year contract extension Tuesday worth an additional $1.5 annually following a turbulent 2020 season and amid NCAA sanctions.
Mullen’s updated deal raises his annual compensation to $7.6 million through the 2027 season, making the 49-year-old the SEC’s third-highest paid coach. Alabama’s Nick Saban ($9.1 million) and LSU’s Ed Orgeron ($8.68 million), but Mullen’s salary now surpasses Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher ($7.5 million) and Georgia’s Kirby Smart ($6.8 million), based on figures reported in November 2020 by USA Today.
Mullen’s extension, provided by the school based on a public records request, does not begin until the 2022 season.
