Mullen finished 34-15 over 4 seasons at Florida that included a trip to the SEC Championship Game 2 years ago, and 3 New Year’s Six bowls. Florida fired Mullen after his sixth loss in 9 games, and 2 months after the Gators went toe-to-toe with defending national champion Alabama and a year after they had a chance to make the College Football Playoff.
