Dabo Swinney told The Post and Courier on Wednesday that Tigers defensive backs coach Charlie Harbison has been contacted by Florida.The Gators are interested in Harbison as a candidate for their vacant defensive coordinator position.
“They called me today,” Swinney said. “I don’t know if he’ll go down there to interview.”
“That’s the crazy part of this business. Everyone has to hire coaches, but hopefully we’ll be able to keep ours here.”
Florida is looking for a defensive coordinator to replace George Edwards, who was only with the Gators briefly, leaving for a position with the Buffalo Bills. Edwards replaced former Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, who became the head coach at Louisville.
Harbison is valuable recruiter and co-defensive coordinator at Clemson.
He was named as one of Rivals.com's top 25 recruiters for 2010 on Monday. Harbison signed three prospects from Georgia (Darius Robinson, Corey Crawford and David Beasley) and signed Desmond Brown, DJ Howard and Demont Buice in Alabama.
It’s the fourth time this offseason that Swinney has had to deal with a program trying to raid his staff, and the third attempt by an SEC program.
