Alabama inside linebackers coach Austin Armstrong is leaving to become Florida’s next defensive coordinator and begin his third stint with Billy Napier, On3 Sports reported Wednesday.
ESPN reported late Tuesday night that Gators co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Patrick Toney, who calls the team’s defensive plays, was “in negotiations” to join the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and Armstrong was Florida’s target to replace him. The Athletic reported Wednesday morning that Toney “is leaving” the Gators.
“Growing up in West Alabama the opportunity to coach at The University of Alabama is a dream come true,” Armstrong said in a statement Feb. 13. “I have admired what Coach Saban has built in Tuscaloosa and the long history of tradition and success this program has enjoyed. I am excited to get to work as we continue the legacy of success that is synonymous with Alabama football.”
After spending a year as a quality control coach on Kirby Smart’s Georgia staff in 2019, Armstrong re-joined Napier in 2020 as Louisiana’s inside linebackers coach before leaving for Southern Miss the next season.
