Georgia Tech staffer Ryland Goede joining Gators
Former Power 4 tight end Ryland Goede is joining the new coaching staff with the Florida Gators. Goede, a quality control staffer on offense at Georgia Tech last season, will have a similar role at UF, Gators Online has learned. Goede arrived in Gainesville on Sunday.
With Goede’s addition, UF’s staff will have even more of a Georgia Tech flavor to it. He will join offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner and assistant quarterbacks coach A.J. Erdely, who also have left Tech for UF, along with offensive analyst Emil Ekiyor, H-backs coach Dylan Dockery and assistant offensive line coach Mike Polly.
