The Florida Gators had a chaotic offseason, which included five on-field coaching hires, two promotions, and the strength and conditioning coach leaving five weeks into his stint in Gainesville.
Craig Fitzgerald, who Florida hired on December 30th as their new director of football performance, took a job with his longtime friend Bill O’Brien at Boston College on February 11th, 2024. This left Billy Napier in a tough spot as Fitzgerald and his staff had already set the foundation of Florida’s new strength and conditioning program and were right in the middle of offseason workouts.
Not wanting to turn the strength and conditioning program on its head and start all over, Napier promoted Tyler Miles to run the ship, who had been working alongside Fitzgerald this offseason.
