Florida announces six more staff hires
29 minutes ago
Florida has announced several hires to Jim McElwain's staff, solidifying his inaugural team to lead the Gators in 2015. The Gators have yet to announce a receivers coach. GatorBait.net provides the staff hires officially announced below, and will update shortly with information on how they fit and what they were previously making.
Among the new hires are running backs coach Tim Skipper (Colorado State linebackers), tight ends and special teams coach Greg Nord (Western Kentucky running backs), offensive line coach Mike Summers (Florida offensive line), defensive line coach Terrell Williams (Oakland Raiders defensive line), associate head coach, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Randy Shannon (Arkansas linebackers) and defensive backs coach Kirk Callahan (Central Florida defensive backs).
Mike Kent will serve as the program's director of strength and conditioning after spending the past three years on McElwain's staff at Colorado State in the same capacity.
"As we were putting this staff together, we wanted to make sure that all the parts fit for us to be successful," McElwain said in a press release. "This group has the knowledge, understanding and experience recruiting and coaching in the South, the state of Florida and the Southeastern Conference. They are like thinkers and don’t have self-serving agendas.
"They will all help our players be successful on the field, as students and in life and are excited about the opportunity to join The Gator Nation. This is the first step in putting together an infrastructure that will put the Gators back where we belong."
