Gators quarterbacks coach Garrick McGee not retained by Billy Napier
Garrick McGee, who had served as UF’s quarterback’s coach, is not being retained by Billy Napier, a source tells Gators Online.
A handful of coaches met with Napier this evening, with one being McGee. Based on what I am hearing, I’m expecting a good amount of changes to take place in Gainesville.
Shortly after GO learned of the news, McGee made it official himself by updating his Twitter bio.

Prior to being promoting to quarterbacks coach in January, McGee served as a defensive analyst on Dan Mullen’s staff. He held that role for roughly six month.
McGee coached Missouri’s wide receivers in 2019, spent two seasons as UAB’s head coach (2012-13), and then had stints as the offensive coordinator at Arkansas, Louisville, Illinois and Northwestern. He also coordinated with Todd Grantham at Louisville and coached at additional schools such as Toledo and UNLV.

During his time in Fayetteville for the 2010-11 season, McGee guided a Razorbacks offense that finished eighth in the country and averaged 489 yards per game. They ranked fourth in passing offense and 14th in scoring offense behind 37.3 points per game. Arkansas finished 10-3 that season and appeared in the 2011 Sugar Bowl.
On the recruiting trail, McGee offered and played a pivotal role in landing Gators quarterback commit, Nick Evers. He recently journeyed over to the Lone Star State to conduct an in-home visit as well.
A product of Tulsa, Oklahoma, McGee is a former college quarterback who strapped up the pads for Arizona State, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and Oklahoma, respectively.
