It’s kind of a strange dynamic with assistant coaches in college football.
On the one hand, you want to see them have great success at coaching their side of the ball or their positions.
On the other hand, you also know if they get too good, they will go all Dave Matthews on you and “Say Goodbye” (sorry, it’s my wife’s fave).
Billy Napier had to find three new coaches for this season because the NFL gobbled up three from his first staff.
Some Florida fans were probably in the “good riddance” camp on some of them, but that’s because the new coaches haven’t done anything to make them mad… yet.
The next two Dooley’s Dozens will deal with assistant coaches starting with this one – 12 guys you may not know were assistants at Florida.
Some of them you knew were UF assistants, but not everybody is a Gator geek when it comes to remembering the past — present company (me) excepted.
