[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 850441, member: 3893"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://floridagators.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/geoff-collins/647[/URL] From DC Geoff Collins' Florida Bio: [LIST] [*]The Gators finished the 2015 season ranked eighth nationally (third in the SEC) in total defense, allowing just 310.2 yards per game. The 2015 Gators were one of seven FBS teams since 1996 to not allow a touchdown against three different FBS power five conference opponents in road or neutral-site games in the same season. Tennessee (1998) and LSU (2011) are the only other SEC teams to accomplish that feat, and, like Florida, record those three games against SEC foes. [*]Florida was the only team in the country in 2015 to hold four FBS opponents to a third-down conversion rate of less than 17 percent. Additionally, the Gators were one of three teams to hold two FBS opponents under 10 percent in that category. UF’s 30 touchdowns allowed last year were the fifth-fewest in the SEC and tied for the 16th-fewest among FBS teams. [*]Florida ranked third in the SEC in points off turnovers (88), in addition to converting nine of its 24 takeaways into touchdowns in 2015. In addition, the Gators had 12 multi-sack games in 2015, tying the 1997 Gators who notched multiple sacks in all 12 of their games. [*]UF tallied four-plus sacks in four SEC games in 2015, eclipsing the 2012 Gators for the most times a UF team did that in a season since the start of the 2010 campaign. [*]Florida’s defense amassed seven-plus tackles for loss in eight games this year, which is tied for the second-most such outings by a UF team since 1993, ranking only behind the 1999 Gators (nine games of seven-plus tackles for loss). Of those aforementioned eight outings, five saw the Gators post at least 10 tackles for loss, joining the 1997 Gators as the only UF team since 1993 with five games of 10-plus tackles-for-loss in a single season. [*]Also last season, UF forced 62 defensive three-and-outs this year while averaging 3.7 per game. [*]Guided three players -- DL Jon Bullard, CB Vernon Hargreaves, and CB Jalen Tabor -- to first-team All-SEC Selections by the associated press. [LIST] [*]Hargreaves was named a consensus first-team All-American after being selected to all five teams that the NCAA considers for recognition. [/LIST] [*]In 2014, Collins helped Mississippi State to its first 10-win season since 1999 and a berth in the Orange Bowl. [*]His defense produced the second-most sacks (37) in the SEC and was the nation’s No. 1 red zone defense, as opponents scored on just 63.64 percent of their chances in the red zone. [*]Developed junior Benardrick McKinney, a 2014 first-team All-SEC selection, into one of the SEC’s best linebackers. [*]Under Collins’ tutelage, senior Preston Smith had a career year in 2014, racking up a team-best nine sacks and 15 tackles for loss. [*]In his first season as full-time defensive coordinator in 2013, Collins’ unit was one of the best in the SEC, ranking among the SEC’s top five in total defense (fourth - 349.3 yards per game), rushing defense (fourth – 144.2 yards per game) and pass defense (fifth – 205.2 yards per game). [*]During the last three games of the 2013 season, Collins’ defense allowed just 11.3 points per game, including two contests that featured overtime stands. [*]Prior to earning the full-time defensive coordinator position at Mississippi State, he was the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for two seasons (2001-12) where he developed linebacker Cameron Lawrence into All-SEC selection. [*]As the defensive coordinator at FIU in 2010, Collins was a finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. [*]His 2010 defense led the Sun Belt in total defense, scoring defense, pass efficiency defense and turnover margin, a year after ranking 119th nationally in total defense. [*]In 2008 at UCF, he helped the Knights defense rank second in Conference USA in total and scoring defense. [*]He spent a year at Alabama (2007) serving under Nick Saban as his director of player personnel.
