The University of Florida Gators will face in-state rival Florida State on Saturday in The Swamp and they’ll do it without a head coach. Dan Mullen was fired by the University of Florida after losing 5 of their last 7 games. Meanwhile, the Seminoles have won 5 of their last 7 games and come into Gainesville pretty hot.
The Gators losing 24-23 to Missouri in overtime on November 20th was the nail in the coffin for Dan Mullen. Florida’s program expects a lot more success than what Dan Mullen was bringing to the table. When the Gators gave up 42 points to the Samford Bulldogs two weeks ago it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Mullen was given the boot.
Now that Dan Mullen has officially been relieved of duty at Florida, his former SEC head coach colleagues are dancing on his grave. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz just dropped the football equivalent of ‘bless his heart’ on Dan Mullen and straight-up ended this man’s whole career with a few words.
#Mizzou coach @CoachDrinkwitz on @1010XL, explaining irony of beating #Gators & Mullen after last year’s near brawl:
“My father was a farmer, and there’s an old saying you reap what you sow. If you sow kindness, you reap kindness. If you sow jackass, you reap jackass.”

If that tweet isn’t loading for you, Drinkowitz had explained the irony of beating the Gators after the teams nearly brawling last year and had this to say:
“My father was a farmer, and there’s an old saying you reap what you sow. If you sow kindness, you reap kindness. If you sow jackass, you reap jackass.”
The reactions to Eli’s quote are pretty darn perfect.
Damn, never though I would like anything Mizzou-related but that is gold

Mizzou might have lit a little match, but Mullen poured gasoline ALL over it. and that’s why he got fined

Meanwhile, the Florida Gators face the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday and FSU’s head coach Mike Norvell had this to say today:
