Jim McElwin defines roles for five Florida assistants

With a couple of departures and new additions, Jim McElwain was forced to do a little staff shuffling this offseason. Friday, there was some clarity as to the roles for all involved.

Over the past several days, Florida announced the hirings of three new assistants -- Corey Bell (HERE), Brad Davis and Ja’Juan Seider (HERE). Bell replaces Torrian Gray, who took a job with the Washington Redskins; Davis replaces Mike Summers, who left for Louisville; and Seider takes over for Tim Skipper, who will remain on the staff but in a different role.

The changes impacted two current assistants as well, so below are the responsibilities/titles for all five of the assistants:


  • Chris Rumph - Co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Line
  • Skipper - Assistant Coach, Linebackers
  • Bell - Assistant Coach, Defensive Backs
  • Seider - Assistant Coach, Running Backs
  • Davis - Assistant Coach, Offensive Line

Rumph was the line coach last year and simply adds the title of co-coordinator. Skipper was the running backs coach, which is now manned by Seider.
