Florida Gators hire Wesley McGriff as secondary coach

The Florida Gators added Wesley McGriff to the football staff as the new cornerbacks coach, sources confirmed the hire first reported by FootballScoop.

Head coach Dan Mullen hired McGriff after parting ways with secondary coaches Torrian Gray and Ron English.

McGriff comes to Florida following a two-year stint as defensive backs coach and co-defensive coordinator for the Auburn Tigers.

Auburn ranked third in the SEC in passing defense in 2020, allowing 237.8 yards through the air per game. The Tigers were just ahead of the Gators at sixth in the conference in total defense.
