Running List of Florida Gators Coaching Staff Changes Under Jon Sumrall

GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- As Jon Sumrall pieces together his first coaching staff with the Florida Gators, Florida Gators on SI is keeping track of each coaching change.

At his introductory press conference, Sumrall said his staff would have a mix of existing staffers, staffers he worked with at prior stops and staffers he has never worked with before.

 "I don't hire a staff off of who are my buddies," he explained. "I hire a staff based upon what is the absolute best group of people we can put together to serve and develop our players and win championships at that place."

At the time of writing, four assistants had found out their future in the program with defensive line coach Gerald Chatman reported to be retained, while running back coach Jabbar Juluke, wide receiver coach Billy Gonzales and offensive line coach Rob Sale were reported to be let go.

Additionally, defensive coordinator Ron Roberts was reported to take another job in the SEC.

Below is a list of Sumrall's staff changes, where old coaches ended up, and where the new coaches came from.

Sumrall Tabs Coordinators

Sumrall's first coaching hires with the Gators were Kentucky's Brad White as the defensive coordinator and Georgia Tech's Buster Faulkner as the offensive coordinator. Sumrall confirmed on Dec. 4, three days after Sumrall's first press conference at Florida.

"Extremely thankful to Coach Sumrall for this exciting opportunity" White said. "I'm ready to hit the ground running on helping construct a defense that will make Gator Nation proud. Coach has already stated the vision - be the most feared defense in college football. Now comes the hard work necessary to make that vision a reality.  And while scheme has its importance, the most critical focus we'll have as a defensive staff will be to develop the highly-talented playmakers we recruit and demand that they play with a pace and violence second to none."
