Florida Hiring Former Arkansas OC Dan Enos in Analyst Role

Florida is bringing a seasoned offensive coordinator and former head coach onto its off-field analyst staff, Dan Enos.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida is hiring former Arkansas offensive coordinator Dan Enos to fill an off-field, analyst position with responsibilities including scouting and projects alongside head coach Billy Napier, All Gators can confirm.

247Sports’ Jacob Rudner was first to report Enos’ imminent hiring by UF. 

Enos, 55, joins the Gators after spending roughly half of the 2023 season with the Razorbacks, before his Oct. 22 dismissal from the position. The short stint marked his second as Arkansas’ offensive coordinator, after previously occupying the role from 2015-17. 

Notably, Arkansas’ offense, led then by interim coordinator Kenny Guiton, guided the Razorbacks to an upset win over the Gators in Gainesville, 39-36, in the team’s first game after Enos’ firing, on Nov. 4. 

Before his most recent coaching position, Enos’ 30+ year career in the field included stops at Maryland (2021-22), Cincinnati (2004-05, 2020), Miami (2019), Alabama (2018), Michigan (2018), Central Michigan (2010-14), and his alma mater Michigan State (1991-93, 2006-09), among other schools. 

He led the Chippewas as their head coach, coordinated the Terrapins and Hurricanes' offenses, served as an associate head coach with the Bearcats and Crimson Tide, and oversaw various offensive positions at these stops and others, primarily quarterbacks and running backs. 

Perhaps his most impressive work as a coordinator came with Maryland. The Terrapins finished No. 4 in the Big Ten in total offense in 2021 and 2022, and No. 4 and No. 5 in scoring offense in those respective seasons. 

Quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa established Maryland's single-season passing yards record under Enos' watch, producing 3,860 in 2021.

A native of Dearborn, Mich., Enos played quarterback at Michigan State from 1987-90. The Spartans compiled a 16-7-1 record with Enos as their starting passer, as he threw for 3,590 yards, 12 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. 

Enos will work alongside fellow former Power 5 offensive coordinators, Eric Kiesau and John Donovan, on Florida's off-field analyst staff. 

As for Florida's on-field offensive coaching operation, tight end coach Russ Callaway and offensive line coach Rob Sale will split offensive coordinator duties moving forward. Napier is the Gators' incumbent offensive play-caller.
