Mullen is a good coach, but things definitely got to a point where he couldn't turn it around and they had to move on. However, UF is insane if they think it's gonna be easy to find a better coach. You'd be hard pressed to find 15 better coaches in the nation over the last 10 years. It would be funny to see them end up having to take a shot on a coach like Todd Monken or Dave Clawson.
They've now hired Louisiana Lafayette coach Billy Napier. Little bit of a risk here. He was a hot name in coaching searches but it's not exactly a coup. He has 4 years of experience in a third tier conference and a grand total of 3 years of experience as a coordinator for major programs. He's done well with the Ragin Cajuns but it's a big jump for him to head coach of a program looking to win a national title quickly.
