GAINESVILLE — The 2009 national championship game is one of the highlights of Dan Mullen’s coaching career, but many of the details remain a blur to him even now.
Mullen called plays Florida’s 24-14 win over Oklahoma while the 36-year-old also transitioned to the head coaching job at Mississippi State.
Mullen’s juggling act left him running on fumes, a level of fatigue he feels again these days as the Gators and Sooners prepare for a rematch in Wednesday’s Cotton Bowl.
“I do know this, I don’t know if I’ve been more exhausted,” Mullen, 48, said of his last meeting with OU.
