One day after hiring Ju'Juan Seider to an assistant coach position, UF head football coach Jim McElwain rounded out his staff with two more hires.
Florida on Saturday announced the hiring of Brad Davis and Corey Bell as assistant coaches. While what positions the two will be coaching have not been openly stated, it looks as if Davis -- the former offensive line coach at both North Texas (2016) and East Carolina (2015) -- will replace Mike Summers as the offensive line coach. Bell should take over as defensive backs coach for Torrian Gray, who accepted a position with the Washington Redskins. Bell comes to UF just a month after being named the defensive backs coach for USF. Prior to that, he coached the position at FAU for two years and was a head coach at the high school level at both American Senior High (2011-2013) and Miami Edison Senior High (1997-2007). Bell will be McElwain's third defensive backs coach in as many years.
"We are excited to have Corey and Brad join our staff," McElwain said in a release. "Corey has played in the SEC and has deep roots in the state of Florida. Brad also has strong relationship in our recruiting areas and has won championships as a player. Both are good teachers who will help our players be successful on the field and beyond their playing days.”
