The University of Florida’s football program has long been a powerhouse in the SEC, capturing national championships in 2006 and 2008 that cemented its reputation among the nation’s elite.

Each coach attempted to restore the program’s former glory, but none could reverse the downward trend, leaving fans hopeful for a fresh start. A New Era Begins.
