College Football: 5 head coaches most likely to leave for NFL jobs
1. Dan Mullen
The hot name in college that could be getting some serious NFL looks this offseason is Florida head coach Dan Mullen.
Mullen has been successful at both Mississippi State and Florida and is regarded to be one of the best quarterback coaches and playcallers in the sport.
Mullen had Florida in the college football playoff hunt this season, but a three game losing streak to end the season, recruiting violations, and Mullens personality have seemingly caused a rift between him and the athletic department and led to the report that Mullen is open to leaving Gainesville for the NFL.
Mullen could be intrigued by jobs like the Jaguars and the Jets due to his ability to draft and coach the quarterback of his choice and if Mullen leaves, that would suddenly leave one of the best college jobs in the country open.
Keep an eye on Mullen to make the leap to the pros at some point in his career.
