1. The pathetic act of attributing a ridiculously poor performance or failure of effort to a set of universal variables not unique to the failing entity, often discounting the importance of the competition event. Usage of this verb references Coach Dan Mullen’s leadership before and after the Florida Gators 55-20 loss to Oklahoma in the 2020 Cotton Bowl, a game in which Florida had 60 available players. The 2020 season also saw Florida lose to LSU, a contest in which the Tigers had 54 available players.

Usage of the verb also can specifically reference general excuse making with unfounded swagger, often to the point of discounting the value or quality of an available roster.
“Man, At least we can count on our coach not to Mullen our way through this game”

“•Coach, tell us why you lost today?
- well I won’t Mullen to you. We just got beat. It was an important game and we were proud of the guys we fielded.”

“I would invite their team to our bowl but I really don’t want them Mullening. Who do we know that would just show up and play instead of Mullening it in”
