Florida fans push for Dan Mullen

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- From the irate fan base that brought you FireRonZook.com comes the latest plea from Florida Gators supporters: HireDanMullen.com.

That site and another, WeWantDan.com, have popped up recently as Florida has struggled to a 3-2 record (2-2 in the SEC).

The owner of WeWantDan.com identifies himself only as Ray. He says he doesn't want too much publicity. He lives in Florida and has been a passionate supporter of the Gators for 25 years.

He launched the site Sunday morning and claims 15,000 visitors in its first 24 hours.

To Ray, the path is clear: Florida must fire coach Will Muschamp and hire Mullen, the coach of No. 1 Mississippi State.

"He's got a relationship with Florida. He won two national championships while he was at Florida [as offensive coordinator]," Ray said of Mullen on Tuesday. "He's an SEC head coach. He has the experience. He knows the conference . . .

"He's obviously successful at Mississippi State. I mean, he's had one losing season. They're the No. 1 team in the country coming from nothing. They were even unranked coming into the season."

The case against Muschamp began to gather steam a year ago during a disastrous 4-8 season that included historic home losses to Vanderbilt and FCS opponent Georgia Southern.

Muschamp has gone 25-18 (15-13 in the SEC) in a little more than three seasons.
