In December of 2008, Dan Mullen accepted the job of head football coach at Mississippi State. Prior to that position Mullen was the Florida offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer. He can also take a lot of credit for grooming Tim Tebow in to one of colleges’ great quarterbacks.

“It is time to take control of it. That is what we are forcing him to do. ..... He still needs to become a much more vocal leader. He needs to take control of this team, not look for somebody else to do it.”

“Your job as coaches is putting your team and players in the best situation. We've tried to do that and the offense has kind of evolved around the players.”

“The mechanics had more to do with timing and footwork and balance; it's all lower body getting his feet underneath him planting and throwing the football. He's going to fix that up pretty fast.”

“You usually have an idea of when people are going to use certain defenses and certain formations. But every down and distance, they'll use both. I don't know if I've seen that.”
