Florida defensive line coach Chris Rumph to remain with Gators, per report

Florida Gators defensive line coach Chris Rumph will stay at Florida despite “overtures” from Clemson, reports ESPN’s Brett McMurphy.

"He wants to remain at Florida on (Coach) Jim McElwain's staff," a source said.

Rumph has been considered one of Florida’s best assistants and recruiters as Florida’s defensive line coach under McElwain. He helped mold Caleb Brantley into a potential first-round prospect and has landed plenty of defensive line talent since taking over for Terrell Williams — McElwain’s first defensive line coach at Florida, who served in the role almost exclusively as a recruiter, and did so only until National Signing Day in 2015 before returning to the NFL to serve as the Miami Dolphins’ defensive line coach — in February 2015.
