Florida has parted ways with defensive backs coach Kirk Callahan, announcing the move on its official website with a quote from head coach Jim McElwain on Friday.
"We are making a change on our staff," McElwain said. "Moving forward, Kirk Callahan will be looking at some other opportunities and he has a long career ahead of him."
Callahan came to Florida from UCF, where he held the same position, in January 2015, and was thought of as a rising name in both recruiting and defensive backs coaching. His surname was also thought to carry significant weight in the state of Florida: Kirk is the son of Sean Callahan, the venerable head coach of Armwood High School in the Tampa area and coach of elite 2015 prospect Byron Cowart, who chose Auburn over Florida on National Signing Day to much fanfare.
