SEC Coach Calls Buster Faulkner a "Home-Run Hire"
One of Florida head coach Jon Sumrall's first moves was to bring in former Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner to run the show on offense in Gainesville, and according to one anonymous SEC coach, it was a "home-run hire." "Faulkner can coach offensive football," the coach said. "It is such a departure from what anybody in the SEC does offensively, and they're gonna have a couple games where they have an advantage because everything is so new schematically." The 44-year-old joined the Yellow Jackets staff in 2023 and had strong offensive success with Haynes King at quarterback. Last year, Georgia Tech finished second in the ACC in total offense per game (460) and averaged 32.2 points per game. Florida's quarterback battle between Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones Jr., and Philo could have the leg up, thanks to his previous experience with Faulkner as a Georgia Tech backup.
