Report: Dan Mullen expected to accept ESPN studio analyst role

College football insider Brett McMurphy reports that former Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen is considering an offer to join the ESPN network as a studio analyst and is expect to accept the offer.

Mullen has appeared on ESPN in the past as a guest analyst and is less than one year removed to his coaching stint with Florida. Mullen went 5-6 in his last season with the Gators in 2021 and was fired following an overtime loss to Missouri. Mullen went 34-15 during his run with Florida, and was replaced with former Louisiana head coach Billy Napier in December of 2021.

The 50-year-old Pennsylvania native spent 2022 volunteering as a “contributing resource” for the football team and athletic department of Georgia high school Lake Oconee Academy.
