Brent Pease will be announced as Florida’s next offensive coordinator today, according to a source close to the team.
Pease had been at Boise State for the last six years and served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2011 season.
According to a report earlier in the week by the Idaho Statesman, Pease was weighing offers from Florida and Alabama.
His arrival fills the void created by the departure of Charlie Weis, who left UF in December to become the head coach at Kansas.
Boise State’s offense ranked No. 9 nationally with 481.3 yards per game last season on the strength of quarterback Kellen Moore, who threw for 3,800 yards, 43 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.
Florida finished No. 105 with 328.7 yards per game.
Pease has been a coach for 15 years, spending 10 of those years as an offensive coordinator. During that span, he called plays for Montana, Northern Arizona, Kentucky and Baylor before moving to Boise State in 2006. He was the Broncos’ wide receivers coach from 2006-10 and was assistant head coach under Chris Petersen from 2007-10.
