Florida hires Larry Scott to fill vacant tight ends coach position

The Florida Gators lost their tight ends coach on Wednesday — at least, the reporting on former tight ends coach Ja’Juan Seider’s decision to leave the Gators began in earnest on Wednesday.

Not even 24 hours later, the Gators have a new coach at the position.

That would be former Tennessee offensive coordinator and Miami interim head coach Larry Scott, whom the Gators announced as their tight ends coach late Thursday morning in a release with a quote from head coach Dan Mullen.

“We are excited to have someone of Coach’s Scott’s coaching experience and background in the state of Florida,” Mullen said.
