The Gators coach shared a note on Twitter Saturday announcing his positive test. He says he is self-quarantining while positive.

Florida’s game against LSU this weekend was postponed due to the COVID situation. The Vanderbilt-Missouri game was also postponed due to Vandy being unable to meet the scholarship player limit.
Mullen is at least the eighth college football coach we know of to test positive for the virus. Nick Saban tested positive during the week but has already had enough negative tests to be cleared to coach Saturday against Georgia.
