Update: Tuesday 9:47 p.m. ET ESPN is reporting that Pease will be named Florida's new offensive coordinator on Wednesday.
Update Monday 10:26 p.m. ET: Scout.com reports, as well as FoxSports.com are reporting that Pease is the guy and an announcement will be made either Tuesday or the coming days.
Boise State offensive coordinator Brent Pease is the favorite to become the next offensive coordinator at Florida, according to a source as reported by The Idaho Statesmen.
The Gainesville Sun reports that Pease will take the job with the Gators, and that he was in Gainesville Friday with his wife to speak with UF officials.
However, according to other reports, Pease will interview with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Tuesday after the National Championship game for its open position.
Further reports indicate that the Gators have made the offer but Pease will meet with Alabama before accepting the UF job.
Pease is in his first season as the Broncos' OC, having previously served as the school's wide receivers coach from 2006-2010.
Pease's only real tie to the SEC or UF would be his time at the University of Kentucky from 2001-2002 as the school's offensive coordinator and QB coach.
The odd thing is that last time we checked Boise State runs the spread offense and Muschamp said the Gators will stick with Weis' pro-style offense.
We'll see.
-Meanwhile the Gators picked up a significant commitment for the 2012 class this week. 6"4 255 lb defensive end Jonathan Bullard committed out of Shelby Crest high school in North Carolina to become the 19th in the 2012 class to give their verbal to the Gators. Bullard is ranked among the Top 5 defensive ends in the nation for this year's class and among the Top 100 players according to Rivals.
Bullard picked the Gators over South Carolina and Crimson to name a few.
The expectation is that Bullard will see playing time as a pass rusher next season.
-The No. 14 ranked Gators basketball team dropped a road loss Saturday in Knoxville to the Vols 67-56. The Gators came into the game averaging 85.4 points per game, 5th in the nation but the offensive and the mojo wasn't there on Saturday.
Despite the offensive struggles, coach Billy Donavan said "I’m more disappointed in our defense than anything else in the game."
“Playing on the road, for me, is a mentality you have to have,” Donovan said. “Anytime you play on the road it’s a difficult challenge and [we’ve] got to learn what to do to put ourselves in position to win the game.”
All four losses for the Gators this season have been on the road. The Gators play Tuesday night at p.m. ET against Georgia at the O-Dome on ESPN or ESPN3.com
