Dan Mullen is reportedly not a candidate for the vacant Alabama offensive coordinator job, one that was left vacant a few days ago when former OC Bill O’Brien announced a return to the New England Patriots.
According to ESPN’s Chris Low, Mullen shot down rumors that he would be heading to Tuscaloosa, instead choosing to focus on his family and TV career as an analyst.
In talking to several close to the situation, Dan Mullen is not a candidate for @AlabamaFTBL’s OC job. Mullen has enjoyed the time away from coaching to be with his family and also wants to concentrate on his TV career as a football analyst.

Mullen spent time as head coach at Mississippi State and Florida. He propelled the Bulldogs to a No. 1 ranking in 2014, finishing the year 10-2. At Florida, Mullen started strong and fizzled out until finishing his final year 5-6. It was just his 2nd losing season as head coach, with the other being his first year at Mississippi State.
A good chunk of Alabama fans probably won’t be upset by this news.
