GAINESVILLE — Florida coach Dan Mullen filled an open spot on his staff Friday by hiring former South Florida assistant Jules Montinar to work with defensive backs.
Montinar is scheduled to officially begin his new job Monday. He joins former Auburn assistant Wesley McGriff in the Gators’ revamped secondary. Mullen fired Ron English and Torrian Gray the day after the Cotton Bowl, a 55-20 loss in which the Sooners racked up a whopping 684 yards. It was the most any team has ever gained against Florida.
No. 10 Florida allowed 30.8 points a game in 2020. It was the program’s most since giving up 41.
