Miami steals DB Coach Will Harris from Gators

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.

My guy is doing deep deep hits from the message board bong and it is starting to rot the brain.

I'll drop it because I agree we should put the thread back on track, but accusing someone of racism because a couple of position coaches left and one (who is still there) tried to leave is weak sauce.

He’s been accused of racism by gators fans but yeah ok Post less

I can’t imagine Mario would be OK with him working in the building if he’s just leaving today or tomorrow. Maybe we’ll be wrong.

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

Not sure if rumor is true or not but i can promise you that Harris wouldn’t DM the gators twitter account and tell them before he made any type of decision knowing silk had a big mouth and would go straight to twitter.

It is funny that you think anyone agrees with you ever.

If he was interviewing for an NFL gig I’m sure Mario is well aware and what is he supposed to do? Have him escorted out of the building until he’s made his decision? Lol

Got the low down from a Gator co-worker who's plugged in (ex-player).

Long story short, he was in shambles. Said Harris was unequivocally the best coach on their staff and is LITERALLY hands on with how he teaches technique. That's the good news.

The not so good news (for us at least), is he said Harris will be going to the Pros so enjoy him while he's here. Maybe not this year. Maybe not next. But he definitely has pro aspirations.

we're actually going to believe a twitter user, who fought someone over twitter beef, wore flip flops and fell on his face as a result?

In fairness, a lot of folks have made the potentially fatal mistake to overestimate the traction on Dollar General slides

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

going to the pros for the same type of job is NOT a lateral move. if you play third base in AA baseball and are called up to the majors, is it a lateral move?

or if you are a colonel in the miami dade county police force and then become a colonel in the US Marshalls, is that a lateral move?

come on, meng!

Ruiz is just an easy target for opps to mock, while Canes Connection keeps cashing checks.
