Dan Mullen, a Drexel Hill native, and a college football analyst for ESPN, is slated to be the next UNLV football coach, writes Mark Anderson for the Associated Press, as reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Mullen, 52, is the former coach for Florida and Mississippi State, where he went 103-61.

He’s agreed to lead the University of Nevada, Las Vegas 24^th ranked football program, according to two people with knowledge of his hire.

Mullen replaces Barry Odom, who has taken a job at Purdue after going 19-8, helping the Rebels receive back-to-back bowl invitations for the first time in UNLV program history.

He had a 34-15 record with the University of Florida Gators from 2018 to 2021.

He was 69-46 at Mississippi State from 2009 to 2017 and made eight consecutive bowl appearances.

At UNLV, Mullen inherits a team that is 10-3 and was close to a College Football Playoff spot before losing to Boise State in the Mountain West championship.

The Rebels will be losing some key players as Mullen comes on board, including quarterback Haij-Malik Williams, wide receiver Ricky White III, linebacker Jackson Woodard, and defensive back Jalen Catalon.
