Kerwin Bell - Gators New Offensive Coordinator?
BREAKING GATOR COACHING RUMORS
Rumors have been circulating in the Southeast that former Gator QB Kerwin Bell is being considered for the Louisville and the University of Florida’s Offensive Coordinator. Many are coveting Bells’ wide open “Shake n’ Bake” offensive strategy.
New Louisville Head coach Charley Strong is very eager to land Bell as his new offensive coordinator, and simultaneously swirling Gator rumors are that Bell will be reunited with his former player Johnny Brantley, who he coached in High School in Ocala, FL for a record setting offense.
Bell, currently head coach at Jacksonville University has been a hot commodity in the past few days. He has turned around a horrible program at Jacksonville with a wide open offense which he developed over his career in the Canadian Football League, the NFL and college.
He was tutored himself by offensive godfather Steve Spurrier, who was his coach when Bell was the Gators QB.
Many Gator fans grumbled this past year under the offensive leadership of converted Offensive Line coach Steve Addazzio, who put too much responsibility on Tim Tebow, and did not utilize the weapons that he had on offense. The Gator won “ugly” every game…and Gator Nation might’ve been spoiled over the years with wide open offense. It was clear that the Gators missed the playcalling of Dan Mullen, who left to become head coach at Mississippi State and made great improvements on that program in 1 year.
Kerwin Bell and Johnny Brantley - A Match Made In QB-Heaven
WILL BRANTLEY BE REUNITED WITH HIS MUSE …”SHAKE N’ BAKE” OFFENSIVE GURU, COACH KERWIN BELL
Gator nation would like to see Kerwin Bell return to the Gators sidelines and be reunited with his star student Johnny Brantley, to utilize his talents to their full potential next season.
In this regard, this writer agrees.
Hiring Kerwin Bell would be a great addition to the Gators staff.

Spurrier was not Bell’s coach. Pell was, when he walked-on. Of course, the majority of his time was under Galen Hall (current Penn State OC). Bell credits his influences to include: Lindy InFante and Spurrier (who he was a grad-assistant under), among others.
