Gator Tales #57: Buster Faulkner

This week on Gator Tales, Presented by UF Health, Voice of the Gators Sean Kelley provides the first exclusive interview with new UF Football Offensive Coordinator Buster Faulkner. Hired by Head Football Coach Jon Sumrall on Dec. 11, Faulkner arrived in Gator Country after three successful seasons as the offensive coordinator at Georgia Tech (2023-25). He comes equipped with 14 years of experience as an offensive coordinator alone, also coaching the tight ends at Georgia Tech after three seasons at Georgia as an offensive quality control coach (2020-22). Across his 20-year collegiate coaching career, Faulkner has claimed three National Championships, six collegiate conference titles and four division crowns, while also claiming a high school state championship as both a coach and a player. During their conversation, Kelley and Faulkner discuss the latter's transition to the Gators as well as his vision for the Florida offense. Faulkner aims to bring the same success to the Gators that he experienced with the Yellow Jackets, who ranked first in the ACC in rushing (197.8), second in total offense (437.7), third in passing efficiency (144.1) and fifth in scoring offense (31.0) from 2023-25.
