Former Florida quarterback and head coach Steve Spurrier is coming home.
The Head Ball Coach has been named Ambassador and Consultant for the Florida Gators Athletic Department, Gators athletics director Jeremy Foley announced on Friday.
“It’s a great day for the Gator Nation to be able to welcome Coach Spurrier back home,” Foley said, according to a release from the university. “He has served as a tremendous ambassador to the University and the athletic department for 50-plus years and it’s only fitting that at this point in his career, he is back in Gainesville. Being a Gator has always meant so much to Coach Spurrier, but it means just as much to us have him come home.
