Gators head coach Dan Mullen Gainesville Sun-USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s no secret that things can sometimes get testy on the sideline between teammates and coaches. What happened on Florida’s sideline Saturday went above and beyond the usual, though.

TV cameras caught Gators head coach Dan Mullen berating defensive coordinator Todd Grantham on the sideline during the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Kentucky. It was not clear what Mullen was so animated about, but the exchange did come just before the final play of a 14-play, 87-yard Kentucky drive that ended with a go-ahead field goal.

Grantham didn’t do much to respond to Mullen during the confrontation, and didn’t even really make eye contact with Mullen.

In the past when we’ve seen Mullen and Grantham getting heated, it was at their opponents, not each other.
