Doesn't necessarily have to be his lead recruiter that got fired, but the DC just got fired at a place he's being recruited to play defense. A lot of unknowns now at UF and there is some definite dysfunction in that staff. Unless you already have a home-run/splash type hire waiting in the wings, this is why you don't do this mid-season. This scenario was more of a "make some changes or we'll make the change up top" ultimatum from the AD. Word is that he and Mullen had a pretty heated argument before the firing of the assistant's occurred.
