Florida’s defensive coordinator is on the move.
Geoff Collins will be named Temple’s next head coach, according to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy. It isn’t immediately clear when Collins will assume the role or who will fill his void for the Gators, but UF coach Jim McElwain said Tuesday he was unsure if Collins would coach in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2.
In his two-year stint at UF, Collins led one of the nation’s elite defenses.
The Gators have been ranked among the top 10 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision in yards per game allowed in 2015 and 2016, mostly thanks to a premier passing defense over that time.
