Is Dan Mullen on the hot seat? College football fans weigh in after LSU loss

Dan Mullen had Florida in the College Football Playoff picture deep into the 2020 season with an 8-1 start. The Gators finished the 2020 campaign by dropping the final 3 games to an undermanned LSU in the home finale, No. 1 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game and Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.

UF’s 2021 season is off to a worse-than-expected 4-3 start, including road losses against unranked Kentucky and LSU teams.

Entering Saturday’s Florida-LSU game, there was talk of Tigers coach Ed Orgeron being on the hot seat. After LSU’s 49-42 win, it may be Mullen who is on the hot seat.

Here’s a small sample of what fans are saying on Twitter:
