Somebody recently posted about former Florida DC Dan Quinn (recently fired as the Falcons' HC) and somebody else posted that Mickey Andrews (of "hit to the echo of the whistle" infamy) used to coach DBs at Florida before he went to FSU.
We've had a bunch of assistants that went on to do well elsewhere, and a bunch of players that became coaches elsewhere.
Who is your favorite Florida player (not named Steve Spurrier) to become a successful coach? Lindy Infante, Chan Gailey, Marquand Manuel, Mike Mularkey, Brian Schottenheimer?
Who is your favorite former Florida assistant to become a successful coach? Mike Shanahan? Bob Stoops? Dan Quinn? Teryl Austin? Vance Bedford? DJ Durkin?
I know there is a ton I'm forgetting. Here's my pick:
Mike Shanahan was an OC at UF in the early 80's. He put in a short dink and dunk passing game, sort of an early version of the West Coast offense. For a while, Gator QB Wayne Peace led the nation in completion percentage or something like that and ended up on the cover of SI ("The Peace Corps").
