New Florida Gators Coach Dan Mullen Selling Starkville Mansion

Dan Mullen is headed back to Florida as the new University of Florida Gators head football coach, and he’s placed his Starkville, MS, home on the market for $1,350,000.

Mullen had served as head coach for Mississippi State for nine seasons before making his way back to Gainesville, and now the new Gators boss has no need for a luxury home in the middle of Mississippi.

Custom-built in 2008, the 9,400-square-foot house has five bedrooms, five baths, and three half-baths. The layout includes a grand entry, formal living room, dining room, and chef’s kitchen with pantry, island, and breakfast area—all with views of the backyard.

There are two living areas, each with a fireplace and high ceiling; front and rear staircases; and an elevator. All the bedrooms are en suite.

The home comes with some great hangout areas, including a game room, media room, gym, and second kitchen. Outdoors there’s a lounge area and a pool. Jay Murphy holds the listing.

The 45-year-old Mullen leaves Mississippi State as the second-winningest coach in the history of the program, which he led from 2009-17. His wife, Megan Mullen, is a sports journalist who has covered the NFL and college football. Mullen served as offensive coordinator for the Gators from 2005-08.

“Megan and I are very excited to get back to Gainesville and the University of Florida,” Mullen said in a statement to USA Today. “I have such great memories of the championships we won during our time here and have a love for Florida. We are happy to be coming back to such a supportive administration, staff, student body and fan base, which is the premier football program in the country.”
