Bryant Young has resigned as the defensive line coach for the Florida Gators. There was speculation as to whether or not he would get a new contract this year, which technically ended January 14, 2013--right before his mentor Dan Quinn resigned moved to the Seattle Seahawks, and right before Brad Lawing was hired on January 21, 2013. Young cites that he wants to spend more time with his family and possibly move closer to home. Good luck, Bryant! Go Gators!
