Despite going 21-5 over his first two seasons and playing in the SEC title game in 2020, Dan Mullen was let go at Florida before they were able to finish the 2021 season after enduring 4-straight SEC losses as well as needing 70 points to beat FCS Samford.
Mullen was let go on November 21st after leading the Gators to a 34-15 record. Here, on the Florida Staff Tracker page, we lay out the new staff and also provide some perspective by noting who coached the position on the previous staff.
On November 28th the program officially announced the addition of Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Billy Napier, who went 39-12 over the last several seasons leading the Ragin' Cajuns.
