That BREAKING claim appears to be a rumor — there’s no reliable source confirming Emmitt Smith is returning to Gainesville as Florida’s OC.
Most credible news outlets, the UF Athletics Department, and reputable sports sites make no mention of Smith taking that role.
In fact, current staff listings show Russ Callaway as Florida’s offensive coordinator & tight ends coach for the 2025 season .
The posts you linked are from Facebook groups and Threads, which aren’t official sources — no ESPN, Gators.com or other major outlets have reported this move .
Bottom line: It seems like Orlando social media chatter or fan wishful thinking. Unless and until Florida Gators Football or a major sports news outlet makes an official announcement, treat it as a false rumor. Let’s keep an eye out for confirmation!
