Florida Gators Expected to Appoint Buster Faulkner from Georgia Tech as New Offensive Coordinator

The Florida football coaching staff is undergoing significant changes as head coach Jon Sumrall prepares to welcome Buster Faulkner as the offensive coordinator. Faulkner, currently the offensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, is known for his impressive track record. Under his leadership, Georgia Tech’s offense is on track to set a school record for efficiency, averaging 7.09 yards per play.

Faulkner has played a crucial role in the development of quarterback Haynes King, who made a name for himself this season. King was recognized as a Heisman Trophy hopeful and bagged the ACC Player of the Year award recently. This acquisition is particularly critical for Florida, especially after a season where they struggled notably in offensive performance, averaging just 21.6 points per game.

In addition to Faulkner’s hiring, Sumrall has made strides in securing a defensive coordinator, marking a pivotal moment for the Gators as they seek to revamp their coaching lineup in hopes of enhancing their performance on the field. Florida looks to place a strong emphasis on retaining key offensive talent, ensuring the continuity necessary for an improved season ahead.
