Coaching Accomplishments

• 12 years of collegiate coaching experience.
• Produced a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award (nation's top receiver) in Chad Jackson and the Rimington Trophy (nation's top center) in Mike Degory. Both were tabbed All-SEC first-team by the Associated Press in 2005.
• In his first year as offensive coordinator, UF wide receiver Chad Jackson matched the UF single-season reception record held by Carlos Alvarez (88 receptions). Jackson led the SEC and finished sixth nationally.
• Florida quarterbacks threw just seven interceptions in 2005, which was one per every 49.2 pass attempts. The total ranked as the best in school history and ninth nationally. In addition, Florida completed 62.8 percent of its passes, which tied for the fourth-highest total in school history.
• The 2005 UF offense faced five of the nation's top 20 ranked total defenses and averaged 28.5 points per game. The total ranked sixth among the 23 NCAA Division I-A schools with a first year coaching staff.
• Florida was the only school in the SEC to score 49 points or more against a league opponent in two games in the 2005 season (at Kentucky and vs. Vanderbilt). The Gators' 49 points in the first half of the UK game were the most points UF has ever scored in the first half vs. a SEC opponent in school history.
• Directed Alex Smith's transition from a pure drop-back passer into a fine spread offense quarterback while at Utah. Smith put up big numbers in 2003, passing for 2,247 yards and running for 452 yards after taking over the starting job three games into the season. He finished second in the league in total offense, averaging 245.4 yards per game.
• In 2004, Smith was Utah's first-ever Heisman Trophy finalist and was also named The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated National Player of the Year. He was a Davey O'Brien and Walter Camp National Player of the Year finalist. In two years, he finished in the top three in nine Utah career categories.
• Guided Smith to a pass efficiency rating of 176.5 in 2004, which ranked Smith as the second most accurate quarterback in the country.
• Helped lead Utah to a win in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl over Pittsburgh, as the Utes became the first-ever team in a non-BCS conference to receive a BCS bowl berth.
• Assisted Utah in finishing third in scoring offense (45.3) and total offense (499.8) and 19th in passing yards per game (263.7) in 2004. Additionally, the Utes had five passes intercepted, which was tied for the second lowest total by any squad in the country.
• In two years at BGSU, Mullen's quarterbacks powered one of the nation's most prolific offenses by throwing for 5,145 yards and 48 touchdowns and rushing for 1,482 yards and 33 touchdowns.
• Part of the offensive staff that helped Bowling Green to finish as the nation's third highest scoring offense in 2003 (40.8 points per game).
• Bowling Green quarterback Josh Harris passed for 2,425 yards, rushed for 737 yards and was the nation's third leading scorer in 2002.
• At Syracuse, he assisted in the Orangemen's 1998 Big East championship and Orange Bowl appearance. Two years later, he went to the Fiesta Bowl with Notre Dame.
