Dan Mullen Takes Savage Shot At Florida Ahead Of Tennessee Game
Former Florida coach Dan Mullen continues to take subtle jabs at the Gators, and it's the kind of drama college football fans crave.
The former Gators coach left Gainesville with a 34-15 record, but was shown the exit after an incredibly disappointing 2021 campaign. He still seems to be a bit bitter.
Mullen was caught liking tweets about Florida's decline since he was fired a couple years ago, and he now took the opportunity to remind everyone the Gators have fallen off from where they were just a few years ago.
"This is a huge game to go on the road and play at Florida. Now, Florida might not be where they were a couple of years ago, but they're still Florida. They're still going to be a good team. It's still the Swamp on a Saturday night," Mullen said on the "Matt Barrie Show" when previewing the Tennessee/Florida game.
Dan Mullen takes subtly savage shot at the Florida Gators.
Do you know who the coach at Florida was just "a couple of years ago"? Would it shock you to learn it was *checks notes* none other than Dan Mullen?
Man, what an unlikely coincidence! The person who had Florida winning at a high level also happens to be the same guy who is now talking about how the Gators aren't as good as they were just a couple years back.
The version of Dan Mullen is a lot more fun than the version fans saw when he was roaming sidelines, which was also very entertaining.
In case you can't tell, Dan Mullen doesn't feel bad about Florida's decline at all. In fact, he seems to enjoy it. The man seems to be holding a grudge.
It's not a super bitter grudge, but it's definitely there. He liked tweets about the program's collapse and is now just pointing out how bad the team is since he left Gainesville....without even mentioning his own name.
It's next level pettiness, and it's the kind of drama college football fans love and crave. A few more losses from Florida and Dan Mullen might start straight up dancing on TV. Feed us the drama! Feed us the feuds. It's what fans want to see.
