Exactly 46 days after taking over at Florida, Dan Mullen has officially completed his first Gators coaching staff.
The football program announced Thursday morning that Mullen has hired Ron English as his safeties coach. English, whose tenure as head coach at Eastern Michigan ended in controversy in Nov. of 2013, spent the 2017 season in the same role for Mullen at Mississippi State.
