Few assistant coaching positions in college football are as demanding as coaching cornerbacks at the University of Florida. When Gator fans fill the Swamp in the fall, they don’t merely expect to see good cornerback play; they expect to see the next Joe Haden, Vernon Hargreaves or CJ Henderson on the field.
In a normal year, that makes this position stressful enough. Add in the nosedive that UF’s cornerbacks took last season and the make-or-break status this season has for the defensive staff, and first-year cornerbacks coach Jules Montinar is walking into a pressure cooker.
Montinar is excited and grateful for the opportunity.
