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.

Gator friends stating he was pushed out.

“Was demoted on our team. We hired him to be our db coach. He failed and got demoted to corners coach. Then he and our DC didn’t get along because of it. Then we hired two new coaches and gave him notice.”

Riiiiiiight. "Was demoted".

And I'm suuuuuure that there are NO OTHER REASONS why a Gator position coach and Racist Ron Roberts would not be able to "get along".

"Gave him notice". Sure. Was that before or after he flirted with Texas?

Besides, this is the new Gator defensive coach hiring strategery...

Where’s Da Special Teams Coordinator???

It’s a secret. Nobody knows since Mario got here. Mario has consistently tried to upgrade positions and he is not afraid to make changes, but he’s totally ignored our special teams situation. Hopefully, this area is finally addressed this offseason.

Florida’s pass defense last year:

- Yards allowed: 81st
- Coverage grade per PFF as a unit: 111th
- Zero safeties in the top 300 for overall defense...for context, despite how much y’all hated Powell, he was 139th. So OOF.

Top two safeties were as follows:

- Trikweze Bridges (314th out of 912 safeties); more than half his snaps came at wide CB

- Bryce Thornton (356 out of 912 safeties); decent in coverage but nothing spectacular (67.5, 410th/912). Excellent rushing the passer numbers primarily in blitz packages, mostly played free safety.

Sharif Denson was S3; finished with a 56.5 coverage grade, bottom 150 in the country at his position.

Castell was S4; coverage grade of 58.9, 649th. Regressed considerably from his 2023 numbers.

Can someone explain to me why this is a good hire, other than “Mario stuffed Billy in a locker”? Genuinely asking, thanks in advance.

cause he can recruit, simple its a talent acquisition sport like every other one

I guess anything is an upgrade over what we had. Don't know anything about him. The only time I've seen his coaching was against X, George, and Ward. Was not impressed.

Hope he helps.

If you watch their later games in the year their secondary stood out.

Our offense made every secondary look bad for the most part but yes I agree he can't be any worse than what we had.

Wonder if he asked for a raise/promotion and was denied so he bounced?

According to their 247 writers, we outbid them/gave him better deal, so maybe thats just a reference to them deciding not to match?

Going against a generational qb like Cam skews things a bit
