Why on earth would Dan Mullen not be a canidate at Florida?

He helped them win a Heisman and 2 National Championships. But I am reading that there was friction between him and Florida? What kind of friction? There must be something
foul that went on in Gainesville.

I don't think Foley ever even offered him the job. Apparently begged Meyer to come back.

Mullen and Mullen's family did not have a good experience in Gainesville. He was the fall guy even though his offense was highly successful.

I don't know the particulars but.......

all of the sports radio stations here in central Florida keep saying that when he left he pi$$ed off a lot of people at UF and burned a lot of bridges. They have not gone into any details but they seem very confident that his hire will never happen.

stuff and that he and his family didn't have good experience there. Strange, but he was the OC for Tebow and when they won 2 championships? That would seem pretty impressive to most people.

Starting to wonder if he's a major league D-bag.

Well Foley and Spurrier have bad blood also ....so there is your proof. It's like a Dbag vs Dbag cage match between those two.
Love the circus of high profile CFB these days.

Rumors in the local Gainesville media and from their fans down there
is that Foley has made it clear that he wants to hire a coach with
proven offensive credentials, and one (this time) with Head Coaching
experience in a major college program. Names I've heard the last
couple of days from Gator fans is Hugh Freeze, Mike Gundy, Rich
Rodriguez, and Art Briles are high on the list To interview. Basically
they're wanting to hire the next "Urban Meyer" but with more class.

Exiled2
Is he not?
It probably is on several UF Blogs and obscure websites
but even the national media outlets were saying last
night that Foley had made it clear that Mullen would
NOT be a candidate for the job there. I have not heard
about all the "issues" that were mentioned by the guys
above (bad blood and all), and that may be one of the
reasons Foley made it clear yesterday that he was not
going after Mullen. I have friends who are staunch
Gator fans for years who told me yesterday that Foley
is looking for a MAJOR upgrade with the Florida Offense
and that he wants a coach with a proven offensive track
record and some success as a major college head coach.
Blogs, fan sites and random Gator web sites are going to
throw out their opinions and all the names like the ones
shown on the link above are going to be listed. Patterson
is a name every team with an opening or possible opening
has thrown out, and I've even heard Gamecock fans saying
They heard Chip Kelly or Pete Carroll's name coming up
on the Florida Short List ..... The guys I spoke with
last night were spot on years ago when they told me
Urban Meyer was the top candidate to replace Zook,
and that Muschamp was the guy who was going to replace
Meyer (no one saw that one coming). Right now they are
saying that Freeze and Gundy would be the two leading
candidates but have heard Rich Rod and Briles names as
well. ..... will be interesting to see how it goes over
the next month or so

Seems like he's in a good situation at Miss State. So why
Nov 18, 2014, 8:43 AM

would he want to leave? He can win championships at that school. The only advantage I see for him at UF is being in the middle of the state of Florida recruiting hotbed.
And being in the $EC East instead of the West.
