A former SEC head coach was tossed into the conversation of possibly becoming Alabama’s next offensive coordinator, but has the mood shifted?
Dan Mullen served as a college football analyst for ABC and ESPN in 2022. He has been a head coach at Florida (2018-21) and Mississippi State (2009-17). Mullen is one of the best quarterback developers in the sport, but he is not getting consideration to be the Crimson Tide’s offensive play-caller. ESPN’s Chris Low provided the update Wednesday morning on Mullen.
In talking to several close to the situation, Dan Mullen is not a candidate for @AlabamaFTBL’s OC job. Mullen has enjoyed the time away from coaching to be with his family and also wants to concentrate on his TV career as a football analyst.
