Florida's Samford Debacle (and Denials) Should Be Final Nail in the Coffin for Dan Mullen

According to a video that came out of the Florida locker room, Dan Mullen and his Gators team danced and celebrated postgame Saturday, a remarkable display of denial in the face of dysfunction. He’s not fooling anyone.

Unless a program that has won three national championships is suddenly ready to party after a record-setting bad defensive performance against a program that can only award 63 scholarships, Mullen is conning everyone.

He tried his best to topspin one of the more ridiculous games in program history, a come-from-behind, 70–52 victory over Samford—an FCS opponent with a losing record in the Southern Conference.
