Mullen May Not Coach In Title Game

Tim Tebow told EPSN.com last night that it is unlikely Dan Mullen will be calling the plays for Florida in the National Championship Game against Oklahoma. Mullen was hoping to balance his new responsibilities as head coach at Mississippi State with his offensive coordinator duties at Florida, but that may not happen.

The Gators may go with a play-calling-by-committee with head coach Urban Meyer, wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales and offensive line coach Steve Addazio working together to call the offense.

This is great news for Mississippi State, where Mullen is working quickly to build his staff and retain much of the recruiting class that Sylvester Croom had already built.

Mullen has dismissed 3 on-field assistants (Campbell, Grimes and Washington) and hired UNA head coach Mark Hudspeth to join his staff in some capacity, although it is unclear what role he will play. Expect announcements today.
