Frankly, Urban hit a home run getting this Coach. Every football playing
stud in South Florida knows him and would salivate over playing for him and
being coached by him since he is a Dolphins coach. Channing Crowder loves
him and calls him the "Best Assistant coach in the NFL". Just
sayin..........

One last thing: despite having coached at UF in '91, this guy coached at
Georgia in '97.
Experience at Georgia might disqualify him entirely. I hope he's been
de-loused since.
Go Gators!!!!

Sources close to the Miami Dolphins confirmed Thursday night that inside
linebackers coach George Edwards is leaving to take the defensive
coordinator's position at Florida.
Edwards, an assistant at UF under Steve Spurrier in 1991, is the most
tenured member of the Dolphins' coaching staff, just completing his fifth
season with the team. He has 11 years of NFL coaching experience,
including
one as a defensive coordinator.
Edwards, 43, has previous NFL coaching stints with Cleveland, Washington
and
Dallas. He was the defensive coordinator for the Redskins under Spurrier
in
2003.
Before going to the NFL, Edwards, a former defensive standout at Duke, was
an assistant at four schools - UF (1991), Appalachian State (1992-95),
Duke
(1996) and Georgia (1997).
The hiring of Edwards will complete Urban Meyer's coaching staff.
In his first three seasons with the Dolphins, Edwards tutored the
linebackers. The past two seasons he's focused on coaching the inside
linebackers, including former Florida standout Channing Crowder.
Crowder has called Edwards "the best assistant in the NFL. Period."
Meyer and interim coach Steve Addazio have hired three new assistants this
week - Edwards, Stanford defensive ends and special teams coordinator D.J.
Durkin and Syracuse running backs coach Stan Drayton, who was Meyer's
running backs coach at Florida from 2005-07.
