New Florida coach Dan Mullen served as the Gators’ offensive coordinator back in the mid-2000s, when the Gators won two national titles.
Now that he’s back in Gainesville, he’s trying to remind this year’s squad of those past glory days, and has brought in a former Florida star this spring.
According to reporter Matt Baker, ex-Gator Percy Harvin has been working with the team this spring, and players are even calling him “Coach Percy” for his work so far:
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson says Percy Harvin is around #Gators just about every day. Calls him "Coach Percy," even.

Harvin had 3,781 scrimmage yards and 32 total touchdowns during his time in Gainesville, so he’s a great player for Mullen to bring back.
Tim Tebow is busy with minor-league baseball, so he likely won’t be back this spring, but it’ll be fun to see who else Mullen gets to come to practices.
