Mullen, who helped Florida win two national titles as an offensive coordinator (2005-08), went to three consecutive New Year's Six bowls as the Gators’ head coach. Besides Miami’s Larry Coker in 2006, the rest of them came from the SEC – Tennessee (Phil Fulmer), LSU (Les Miles), Auburn (Gene Chizik) and LSU this year (Ed Orgeron) - in the last 13 seasons. There have been five instances in college football history where a coach was fired by the school he led to an Associated Press national championship. Stanford coach David Shaw is highly respected in college and NFL circles, but you think he would still be working in the SEC as one of the nation’s highest-paid coaches with a 29-27 record over the last five years?įew places outside the SEC epitomize the what-have-you-done-lately mentality. Look at Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, who is 0-5 against rival Ohio State and still gainfully employed with only minimal pushback.

Much more so than the Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC and Big 12, where patience at least still exists on some levels. The SEC, inhabited as it is with coaches who want to crush their rivals’ souls and break their spirit, is simply a different football world. Gene Frenette: Gators' Dan Mullen adheres to coaching rule of self-preservation first Misery Party: Gators, Dan Mullen feeling same pain as rest of state teams Yeah, good luck with that in the Supreme Entitlement Conference (SEC), where at least nine programs - and soon add Texas and Oklahoma to that list - think it’s practically their birthright to have an elite team or no worse than top-15 every year. Now the heat turns up significantly on Stricklin, who clearly wasn’t totally up for firing Mullen until the Mizzou loss exhausted his patience, to find the right replacement. Remember, it was Stricklin who gave Mullen a contract extension and raise last March after his coach got an NCAA show-cause penalty just three months earlier. Stricklin looked into the future and with all the recruiting ground Mullen kept losing to Georgia and Alabama, he concluded he was better off trying to find somebody else who could bring Florida that sustained success he insists is a top priority. Take your pick: his perpetual I’m-the-smartest-guy-in-the-room attitude, the looks of disengagement, especially leading up to and after the Cotton Bowl loss to Oklahoma, and continually pointing out after Saturday’s overtime defeat at Missouri - where Mullen’s offense looked so un-Florida-like in making no attempt to move into field-goal range during the final minute of regulation - how the Gators have lost seven one-score games in the past 11 months.Ĭontrary to what Mullen said about wanting to be the Gators’ coach, he never sounded convincing. His too-often snobby disposition and other things athletic director Scott Stricklin refused to divulge, but doesn’t take much ingenuity to figure out, is what got him fired Sunday. It went beyond those nine losses in the last 11 games to Power 5 opponents and had spilled over into Mullen looking as if he was instigating his own demise. The end of the Dan Mullen era, which really began with a shoe-toss penalty last year that cost the Florida Gators a win over LSU and maybe a College Football Playoff spot, had to happen.
