Mullen was a solid OC. That's it. He was not a head coach. He wasn't even a particularly good judge of QBs. Remember him having Brantley ahead of Cam Newton at UF? Remember him pushing Matt Corral out and taking Emory Jones instead? Remember him trying to get Trask to transfer when he got to UF? Remember him sticking with Flippy ahead of Trask until Flippy breaking his ankle FORCED Mullen to play Trask? I remember all of that.
Mullen owed his reputation to a once-in-a-generation QB like Tim Tebow, who would have succeeded regardless of where he played.
I’m still hopping mad about losing Corral, I say we could have won a Natty with him.
