Florida fires Dan Mullen after loss to Missouri

Dan Mullen's tenure at Florida is over.

Mullen has been fired by the Gators per Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel. Florida lost 24-23 to Missouri in overtime to drop to 5-6 on Saturday. Florida plays Florida State — also 5-6 — with bowl eligibility on the line in the final week of the regular season.

Florida started the season 2-0 with big wins over Florida Atlantic and South Florida. The Gators then played Alabama tough in Week 3 and lost 31-29. The loss seemed to be a sign that Florida was once again a top team in the SEC and a legitimate contender to Georgia in the East.
