Now that the rest of the Gator Nation is over Chip Kelly and Scott Frost, we need to come to terms with Scott Stricklin bringing his personal friend from Starkville, Dan Mullen, back home to Gainesville. I personally believe Steve Spurrier knew that Dan Mullen was the guy, but that Stricklin sent out vetting teams to gauge interest from Chip Kelly and Scott Frost because this is just good business.
Fun fact #1: Dan Mullen brought Billy Gonzales and John Hevesy with him to Starkville when he left in December 2008. Gonzales and Hevesy have been with Mullen since 2001 at Bowling Green, then 2003 at Utah, then 2005 at Florida.
Fun fact #2: Urban Meyer and Dan Mullen's offense defeated Randy Shannon and Bill Young's defense in their head-to-head matchup 26-3 on September 6, 2008. Randy Shannon was not happy with Urban Meyer running up the score at the end just to beat the 22-point spread.
We do not know the terms of Mullen's contract, nor do we have an idea of which assistants he plans on bringing to Gainesville, but I think it would be good if Mullen brought Gonzales and Hevesy back to Gainesville in time.
