Florida fired coach Dan Mullen on Sunday to conclude a dramatic fall from a top-10 program to an SEC also-ran during a 12-month span, a source confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel.
The decision came the day after the Gators’ 24-23 overtime loss at Missouri, the Gators fourth straight against SEC competition and ninth against their last 11 Power 5 foes.
The loss dropped Mullen to 34-15 in four seasons, a span including three straight appearances in New Year’s Six bowl games. But Gators (5-6) now prepare to close the regular season against Florida State in the Swamp with bowl eligibility in the balance.
