Billy Napier adds to Corey Raymond's coaching responsibilities on Florida staff, per report
Billy Napier is busy getting his 2023 coaching staff set with 3 assistants leaving for the NFL less than 2 weeks before the start of Florida’s spring practice. One position departure will be addressed by expanding the responsibilities of another assistant coach.
Corey Raymond will reportedly be in charge of the entire Gators secondary, according to Jacob Rudner of 247Sports. Raymond was Florida’s cornerbacks coach for the 2022 season. Patrick Toney, who recently left for an NFL position, coached Gators safeties in addition to being the defensive play-caller last year.

Raymond has handled the entire secondary before, but it has been a few years. He was LSU’s defensive backs coach from 2012-to-2017. In 2018, LSU brought in Bill Busch as safeties coach and Raymond focused on cornerbacks for his last 4 seasons on Ed Orgeron’s staff. Raymond was also the sole secondary coach at Nebraska in 2011. At Florida, Raymond also holds the title of Assistant Head Coach.
Florida is reportedly hiring Alabama insider linebackers coach Austin Armstrong as the new defensive play-caller, replacing Toney. The hire has not yet been announced by UF.
The arrangement of the deck chairs on the RMS Titanic was very important, she wasn’t allowed to leave port unless the deck chairs were in perfect order …
He should have just made him DC.
The coin toss on who will be the first Georgia troll to automatically tell us all about how stupid and/or worthless Corey Raymond is turns out to be ____________.
I’m not sure about which Georgia fan, but I’d bet that gagator will find one or more negative things to say about Raymond.
The fruit of the peyote is strong in this one
or is the spirits from the fruit of the peyote?
Look above Neal. TDOW beat you to the post.
shazam, gall-lee
Didn’t see, too many pop-up ads. Imagine that, TDOW obscured by the lowest form of capitalism. What’ll they think of next?
the lowest form of capitalism – that’s a toss up between selling tickets to events at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium or nocojones’s chosen profession at the Flying J
And you, Sir, are the lowest form of OCD …. Obsessive-Repulsive Disorder. You can now proudly include that on your resume. :)
You guys should refer to him by his chosen name before he was banned and came back with TDOW. That stands for the DumbsOfWar or Dumbs for short
It was TheDawgsofWar crackhead.
And yes I was banned for making politically conservative, pro-American comments – a ban that I carry with pride.
Apparently one can make endless comments about the most vile forms of ch1ld @buse (see Kirby4Prez) but L0rd help if somebody comments on Uncle Joe’s dementia driven, m@rixist efforts to destroy the United States of America.
TDOW, you and I apparently have very little in common, but at least we have that common ground between us.
Dang Dumbs, you sure that’s why you were banned and not for being an obnoxious A hole on the Florida, Tenn and Bama pages?
This move with Raymond, coupled with the hire of Armstrong at DC, means Napier has another move to make before the defensive staff is finally settled. Armstrong is a LB coach, but Bateman is the current ILB coach and Peterson is the OLB coach. So, unless Armstrong is going to be dedicated to coordinating the defense, someone else is gonna be pushed out.
So Emilio, does that portend that CBN is trimming staff?
Responsibilities aside, Armstrong for Toney maintains status quo ante on defense. What he does to fill the open positions on the other side of the ball remains to be seen.
I don’t expect him to trim staff. Not his style so far. I’d love to see him hire a fire breathing Zook type to coach the TE’s and take personal responsibility for special teams play.
If he ends up pushing out one of the LB coaches, he can use the open position to hire a full-time, on-field special teams coach.
The dumbs of war, the name says it all

Awesome, seems like a good move to me.
Go Gators!
