Florida fills out coaching staff with hiring of Ron English, specifies roles

The Florida Gators were allowed to hire a 10th assistant football coach as of January 9.

Before noon on January 11, they have their last man — and their full coaching staff.

The program announced the hiring of Ron English as safeties coach in a morning release that also specifies the roles each assistant will fill on Dan Mullen’s first Gators staff.

Those roles:

  • Co-offensive coordinator, wide receivers coach: Billy Gonzales
  • Co-offensive coordinator, offensive line coach: John Hevesy
  • Quarterbacks coach: Brian Johnson
  • Running backs coach, special teams coordinator: Greg Knox
  • Tight ends coach: Ja’Juan Seider
  • Defensive coordinator: Todd Grantham
  • Defensive line coach: Sal Sunseri
  • Linebackers coach: Christian Robinson
  • Cornerbacks coach: Charlton Warren
  • Safeties coach: Ron English

Florida employing five assistants on each side of the ball is likely to be in keeping with the national standard for 10-person staffs, though some programs may choose a 4-6 split.
