Dan Mullen seems to be enjoying life without coaching.
The former Florida and Mississippi State head coach has settled into his TV analyst role with ABC/ESPN and has been a lot more active on Twitter.
He also shows love to the non-QBs each week. This week included a player that Mullen recruited to Gainesville — defensive back Jaydon Hill.
Hill, who was part of the Gators’ 2019 recruiting class, had two interceptions, one of which he returned for 49 yards in the Gators’ 24-17 win over Missouri.

Mullen also spreads the SEC love to Ole Miss wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, who torched Vanderbilt’s secondary to the tune of nine catches for 247 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Pitt running back Israel Abanikanda was tops on the list. It’s not every week that someone rushes for 320 yards and six touchdowns, breaking a 45-year school record set by the great Tony Dorsett.
What are your thoughts on Mullen’s non-QB superlatives?
