Florida has announced the hiring of Seattle Seahawks DL coach Dan Quinn as the program's defensive coordinator. He previously worked with Will Muschamp when both coached the Miami Dolphins.

This once and for all puts to rest the surprisingly persistent rumors of Kirby Smart leaving Alabama to go to Florida, which once again flared up over the weekend. If you just can't get enough of rumormongering about Smart though, beat the rush by going ahead and penciling him in as Georgia's head coach in 2012.
