At last divisionally, the scenery won’t change at all for one SEC East assistant.
Florida announced Friday that Dan Mullen has added Charlton Warren to his Florida coaching staff. Warren’s specific duties with the Gators in Mullen’s first year as head coach in Gainesville weren’t detailed.
This past season, Warren served as the defensive backs coach at Tennessee as well as the Vols’ special teams coordinator. New UT head coach Jeremy Pruitt wasn’t expected to retain Warren.
Warren has spent a significant amount of his coaching career overseeing secondaries, so that’s a huge clue as to the general direction in which his duties under Mullen are headed.
Prior to his brief stint on Rocky Top, Warren served as the defensive backs coach at North Carolina (2014-16) and Nebraska (2012-13). From 2005-13, he was the secondary coach at his alma mater Air Force. During that time at the service academy, he was also co-defensive coordinator from 2008-11 and solo DC from 2012-13.
