Coaching Staff Updates: Robinson named linebackers coach

[ATXGator]

You're "how old" and still asking that question??? :D

Found that one. Father of four and trying to avoid the Mrs. who has it in her head she wants a girl to tip the household balance. She can be...persuasive. I caught her with pink paint samples in the man cave this past weekend. Lord knows I might not be using it much to watch the football team if things don't improve beyond what I'm expecting.

Father of four? I have three and couldn't imagine adding more. Kudos to you and your wife sir. Not sure how you have time to watch football as it is...

Keep in mind, we also get the 10th assistant position in January. There's lots of options.

What are the thou

We have also learned that current running back coach Ja'Juan Seider is expected to be retained as the running backs coach. Seider is a terrific recruiter and showed his merit as a coach with the Gator running backs playing much better than expected, especially the two young backs in Malik David and Adarius Lemons.



Staying on the offensive side, we are also hearing that assistant Brad Davis is expected to be asked to stay on. The dilemma being that Hevesy is an offensive line coach too. However, when Hevesy coached with Mullen back at Florida, there were two offensive line coaches at the time. We aren’t sure what to expect here.



On the other side of the ball, we have heard that defensive line coach and Co-defensive coordinator Chris Rumph is expected to be asked to stay on. Rumph has coached the position for three years at Florida and is highly regarded for his work at the position. He assumed defensive play calling duties late in the season this year, after Randy Shannon was promoted to Interim Head Coach. Rumph has been able to bring in some top talent along the front and has shown maybe the best ability to get players ready to play at their positions as any assistant currently at Florida.



Lastly, we are hearing that Randy Shannon will be asked to stay on in some capacity. Shannon was Defensive Coordinator before assuming the interim Head Coach role. He has the respect of the school and the athletic administration.



The word is also that Todd Grantham, the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State, will join Mullen at Florida in the same capacity. However, some believe that Grantham may be up for the head coaching spot at MSU.



MSU safety coach Ron English has also been a name we have heard mentioned for the same position at Florida. We haven’t heard quite as much chatter but can believe that.



We expect strength and condition coach Nick Savage to also move on from MSU and become the strength and conditioning coordinator at Florida. Savage is highly respected and we have heard Mullen has told the team to expect a big change in that department and soon.



Finally, Director of Football Operations Jon Clark at Mississippi State is expected to follow Mullen. Clark has actually held the same position at Florida under Urban Meyer, but left to do the job at MSU with Mullen.



We want to point out that if the jobs are offered it doesn’t mean that the coaches will take the position. Coaching changes cause a lot of reactions at a lot of schools and other more attractive promotions may open up elsewhere. But we feel confident at Fightin’ Gators that these are some main targets for Mullen as he looks to fill out his staff.

Keep in mind, we also get the 10th assistant position in January. There's lots of options.

What are everyone's thoughts on keeping Davis, Rumph, and Shannon? I'm all onboard for keeping Seider, but wouldn't be heart broken if the other three weren't kept on. I'm not against any of them staying on, just think we could upgrade if possible. I do like continuity, and I think that was one problem w/ Butters staff (he only kept one coach...who left after two years).

I'm just ecstatic that Nord, Nussmeir and Kent aren't mentioned in that article!! I'm really curious to see if those three land jobs....more curious to see which program/coach is stupid enough to hire them!

I wouldn’t mind keeping that group but Seider is absolutely key. Great coach, great recruiter and will open the Glades area back up. He was a former Glades Central QB and well respected there today. Had the honor to attend his induction into the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame earlier this year. He is well spoken, motivating and respected by all. Do not lose him!

So, what does the “Chip was being told he had to keep Shannon” crowd have to say about this?

I’m surprised Bell was let go, seemed to be a good recruiter.

Don't let the door hit ya

Was Mike Kent overlooked, or fired earlier?

 

[TheAlumni]

At least for now......

Glad they kept the 4 guys that they did. I would rank them as follows in terms of importance.

Seider
Skipper
Davis
Rumph

He was let go.

This whole staff is filled with losers. I think Seider knows his stuff, is a good coach, Davis is young and can be molded, Rumph is a good coach, don’t mind them staying. But do what you have to do Mullen. Get that Macelbutter stench out of the building

 

[playzwtrux]

no mention of Grantham coming over in that article, so that's at least good for now. Hope Mullen goes out and gets the best DC money can buy.

 

[Slevin]

Ox if I was mod this would have already been merged.

 

[playzwtrux]

In B4 merge

He’s trying to get the MSU head coach job.

 

[MidwestChomp]

And there they go!

good, I hope he stays there.

How do you delete the entire thread.....

Have you tried More Options?

Stricklin likes Shannon, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get a DC job elsewhere if he doesn't come back in some capacity for the UAA. Seider can stay, but the rest should have been shown the door as well.
