Gators Hire Teryl Austin as Defensive Coordinator

39

As with Georgia Tech's hiring of Al Groh, I greet Florida's hiring of the Arizona Cardinals' secondary coach neither with laughter nor with weeping. It's a perfectly respectable hire, but it doesn't scare me. I doubt seriously whether Coach Austin is an upgrade from Charlie Strong and I'm absolutely confident Todd Grantham is an improvement upon Willie Martinez, so at least we appear to have won the "offseason coaching change" portion of the competition. Go 'Dawgs!
