The Florida Gators announced the hiring of new head football coach Dan Mullen on Sunday. Mullen led Florida’s offense to two national championship runs as offensive coordinator from 2005-2008.

He now returns to Gainesville after an nine-year stint as head coach at Mississippi State. Current and former Gators’ players reacted to the news on Twitter.

Here is what they said:

A lifelong sports fan, Bailiegh Carlton knew from a young age that she wanted to work in sports in some capacity. Before transferring to the University of Florida to study journalism, she played softball at Gulf Coast State College. She then interned for Gator Country for three years as she worked toward her degree. After graduation, Bailiegh decided to explore other opportunities in the world of sports, but all roads led her right back here. In her time away, she and her husband welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. When she isn't working, she can almost always be found snuggled up with sweet baby Ridley, Cody and her four fur babies.
