Florida DL coach Bryant Young makes 'personal decision,' resigns - CBSSports.com
"Life as a college football coach and father of six is a challenge [that] one Gators defensive line coach Bryant Young has decided to take a break from," Gatorzone.com writer Scott Carter wrote for the official Florida football site Wednesday.
And with that, Young and Florida surprisingly announced that the 41-year-old former San Francisco 49er All-Pro had resigned his position on the Gators coaching staff. Young was an original member of Will Muschamp's staff, joining as defensive line coach from San Jose State in January 2011.
“After heavy consideration and giving over two decades to the game of football, I have made a personal decision to resign from my position at the University of Florida in order to pursue more time with my family.” Young said.
Young had only been coaching football for four seasons, having started as a graduate assistant under Charlie Weis at Notre Dame in 2009. His role in Gainesville focused mostly on coaching the defensive tackles.
The timing of his decision will no doubt raise eyebrows, with the Gators having just completed spring camp and the usual offseason coaching carousel having slowed to a stop weeks ago. Those eyebrows won't be any less raised by Muschamp's contribution to the announcement.
