Florida hires West Virginia RBs coach JaJuan Seider as assistant

With two assistant coaching positions open, Florida will fill one of them with West Virginia running backs coach JaJuan Seider.

Seider, who is a Belle Glade, Florida, native, had spent the last four years at West Virginia, his alma mater.

"We are excited to have Ja'Juan in the Gator family," coach Jim McElwain said in a statement. "A lot is talked about his ability to recruit, but he is more than that - he is a great coach as well. Recruiting is about relationships and he does a great job of connecting and relating to players not only while recruiting them, but while they are playing for him and well after their playing days are over.
