— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) December 4, 2025According to Thamel, Georgia Tech was willing to match Florida‘s salary offer to Faulkner in order to keep him in Atlanta. Instead, Faulkner is headed to Gainesville to be the offensive coordinator on Jon Sumrall‘s first Florida staff.
Georgia Tech averaged over 7 yards per play this season, ranking in the top-10 nationally in that category. The Yellow Jackets accomplished that despite dealing with injury issues with quarterback Haynes King throughout the season.
It’s unclear at this time what this hire will mean for Florida’s chances at keeping key offensive players like DJ Lagway and Dallas Wilson in 2026.
Florida has not yet officially announced this hire.
