With UF’s announcement on Thursday that Sean Spencer has joined the staff as co-defensive coordinator/defensive line coach, Billy Napier’s inaugural staff is now complete.
Here are my five thoughts on the finalized staff.
1. I love the position flexibility that the staff has.
Tight ends coach William Peagler coached the running backs at Michigan State the last two years. Co-defensive coordinator Patrick Toney will coach the safeties in 2022 but also has experience coaching outside linebackers. Inside linebackers coach Jay Bateman worked with North Carolina’s safeties over the last three years. Outside linebackers coach Mike Peterson played middle linebacker in the NFL and could probably coach the position if asked to.
