On January 11, 2012, Mullen's president and CEO Ryan Clement announced that Logan would no longer be coaching the team because the school wanted a coach "who can be a full-time member of the school community and be engaged in every facet." Days after his firing, Mullen High School self reported various recruiting violations to the Colorado High School Athletic Association. In August 2012, the CHSAA concluded its investigation by placing Mullen on a one-year probation and cleared Dave Logan of any wrongdoing. Mullen officials also indicated the infractions were not related to the firing. Two weeks after being fired from Mullen, Logan was hired to coach football at Mullen's rival Cherry Creek High School; Logan's team there won the 5A state championship in 2014, 2019 and 2020.
