Samford, a middling FCS team from the Southern Conference, nearly delivered the coup de grace last week when it led the Gators 42-35 at halftime. The fact that Florida survived 70-52 was merely a footnote.
Even more troubling, Florida’s recruiting has slipped. With four weeks until the December signing period, Mullen’s 2022 class ranks just 34th nationally by Rivals.com.
Should Florida move on from Mullen — the school would owe him $12 million — the Gators would wade to the top of the food chain.
First, though, Missouri. The SEC fined Mullen $25,000 for his antics in last year’s halftime melee. The fallout could be worse Saturday should Mizzou pull the upset. Mullen better bring his lightsaber.
