From the outside looking in, Dan Mullen’s search for two new defensive back coaches in January looked like a disorganized, confusing mess.
First, it looked like Travaris Robinson would return to Florida and coach the entire secondary, freeing Mullen up to use the other opening on another position. That ship sailed quickly, and Robinson ended up at Miami. Later, it looked like Mullen was nearing a deal with the Dallas Cowboys’ Maurice Linguist, only for Michigan to swoop in and outbid the Gators. Chris Ash was rumored to be a candidate, only for him to join Urban Meyer’s staff with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
