After defeating the Gators 41-17 in August, the Miami Hurricanes have secured another victory over their rival by landing DB coach Will Harris.

The 36-year-old Harris, who will lead the safety room at Miami, is considered one of the best young defensive backs coaches in America.

Harris joined the Gators for the 2024 season after serving as the assistant DB coach for the Los Angeles Chargers. The Gators improved +63 spots in pass efficiency defense and +83 spots in interceptions per game under Harris.

Before his stint in the NFL, Harris spent one season as defensive coordinator at Georgia Southern. He previously coached eight NFL Draft picks at the University of Washington.

yeah it's all UF fans saying it, led by Auntie Silk saying Will Harris hit his DMs saying he's NFL bound.

Either way Miami straight. We got a very very good CB coach. Safety coach will be replaced by someone better than what he had regardless.

UF made a D- hire in replacement

Honestly, who cares? The point in all this is that he left UF and went to Miami(Major upgrade), if he leaves Miami it wont be for a rival but for NFL.

Believe a lot of us care ... Spring practice about to start and he IS a legit coach that would be a solid addition to the staff bot for player development and recruiting ... IF he actually wants to be here.

Why would he leave for a lateral move like the NFL?
