List of Florida Gators head football coaches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Florida Gators football program is a college football team that represents the University of Florida in the sport of American football. The Florida Gators compete in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Twenty-nine men have served as the Gators' head coach since the university first fielded a team in 1906, including five who served as interim coach for a portion of a season.[1] Of these, Charlie Bachman, Ray Graves, Doug Dickey, and Steve Spurrier have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[2][3][4] Florida's head coach has been named as the SEC's coach of the year on eight occasions.

Two Gators coaches have led the team to SEC championships: Steve Spurrier won six conference titles while Urban Meyer won two.[1] They also led the Gators to their three national championships; one under Spurrier (in 1996) and two under Meyer (2006 and 2008).[1][5] Spurrier is Florida's all-time leader in seasons coached (12), conference wins (87), overall wins (122), and winning percentage for coaches serving for two or more seasons (.817).[1]
