Faulkner’s Rise at Florida | Florida Gators Football News

Buster Faulkner, Florida’s fiery offensive coordinator, is already a hot name for head coaching jobs—despite being just 44. With a unique blend of pro-style and gritty old-school offense that wrecked defenses at Georgia Tech, he’s bringing his playbook to Gainesville under Coach Sumrall. Inspired by legends like Urban Meyer and Spurrier, Faulkner’s vision is to build a physical, winning team anchored by QB Aaron Philo. ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg has him in the spotlight as a top candidate for next season’s hiring cycle. But insiders suggest staying put might be smarter: helping Florida climb toward playoff contention could position him even better for a Power Four gig later. Success breeds opportunity—and Faulkner’s on the fast track. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
