Gators' search ends as Austin is named DC

Florida has named Teryl Austin as their new defensive coordinator.
The school announced the hiring via a press release.
"I am pleased to have Teryl join our staff," coach Urban Meyer said in a statement. "Interim Coach Steve Addazio did a great job coordinating our efforts with Chuck Heater and Dan McCarney to hire Teryl. It was important that we had some familiarity with Teryl as both Coach Addazio and Coach Scot Loeffler had worked with him before. He also comes highly recommended from my close friend Bill Davis, the defensive coordinator of the Cardinals."
"I've watched from afar what this program is about winning championships with dynamic players and doing things the right way," Austin said. "Now, I'm honored to be a part of the program and a part of The Gator Nation. I look forward to getting to work with an outstanding group of players and a great coaching staff."
Austin will replace George Edwards, who left earlier this month after spending less than four weeks on the job. Edwards had replaced Charlie Strong in January after the coordinator left for the head coaching job at Louisville.
