After Penn State fired James Franklin last week, one of the early names to pop up from fans in a potential coaching search was former Florida Gators coach Dan Mullen. After departing Florida in 2021, Mullen took three years off before emerging at UNLV this season, where he is off to a 6-0 start in 2025.
Mullen claims he is happy in Sin City, and if Penn State fans were smart, they would allow him to stay there.
