Florida has announced more staff changes following reports Sunday night that Dan Mullen’s program has parted ways with defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, and offensive line coach John Hevesy.
Per UF, linebackers coach Christian Robinson will assume defensive play-calling duties for Todd Grantham, while Paul Pasqualoni, special assistant to the head coach, will play an on-field role for the remaining of the 2021 season.
Robinson is in his fourth season as the Gators linebackers coach, his first full-time coaching job after graduate assistant stops at his alma mater, University of Georgia (2013-14), Ole Miss (2015-16) and Mississippi State (2017). Robinson played for Grantham at Georgia and was with him in 2017 at MSU.
Pasqualoni has extensive NFL experience, and was also previously the head coach at UConn and Syracuse.
