UF O-line coach Mike Summers leaves Gators for Louisville

The Florida Gators' much-maligned offensive line will have a new coach in 2017.

Mike Summers is leaving UF to join the staff at Louisville and reunite with Cardinals head coach Bobby Petrino, Louisville announced Saturday.

The 60-year-old Summers was the lone holdover from former coach Will Muschamp's 2014 and coached the Gators' O-line the past two seasons for Jim McElwain.

The Gators' offense generally struggled the past two seasons. It ended 2016 ranked 116th nationally of 128 teams and 2015 ranked No. 112.

The offensive line was a major culprit, especially two seasons ago when UF led the nation with 45 sacks allowed.
