Reports: Florida fires defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, offensive line coach John Hevesy

Florida has fired defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and offensive line coach Todd Hevesy, according to multiple reports. The first to report both firings was Bruce Feldman of The Athletic.

Each has come under fire throughout Dan Mullen’s tenure in Gainesville, and has coached a unit that has gone from relative strength to major weakness for Florida’s 2021 team. Grantham’s defense mostly held up this fall — after a terrible 2020 campaign — until LSU ran roughshod over it in a 49-42 win in Baton Rouge, while Hevesy’s line appeared to be paving the way for a record season for Florida’s offense until the Gators found it difficult to convert yards to points at Kentucky.
