Florida has fired coach Dan Mullen on Sunday as the Gators fell to 2-6 in SEC play, their worst conference winning percentage in a season since 1979, according to multiple media reports. It was a dramatic fall for Mullen, who led Florida to the SEC Championship Game and a third straight New Year’s Six bowl appearance last season.
However, the Gators have lost four straight games against FBS opponents and are 2-9 against Power Five teams dating back to the final three games of the 2020 season.
Dan Mullen is out as Florida’s head football coach, sources tell ESPN. The Gators have lost five straight to Power 5 opponents.
