New Florida Gators offensive line coach Jonathan Decoster brings a thick stack of credentials to Gainesville.
Normally, the hiring of an assistant coach neither makes waves nor moves the proverbial needle, in any sense. Yet theon as an assistant offensive line coach should elicit feelings of hope and excitement not just within the locker room, but the fanbase, as well. Decoster joins a group of assistants with, to borrow a phrase, " a very particular set of skills"In his twelfth year as a coach, Decoster's resume looks like an expanded view of Mapquest.
Intensive studying combined with drills brings everything into focus faster. Additionally, a veteran player like Austin Barber can fully appreciate what Decoster brings to the table, praising him at last week's media availability session. "Yeah, I mean he’s coming from the NFL, he’s bringing some knowledge that we need," said Barber. "Like, it’s always good to hear from another perspective even at the highest level. It’s been really good. He’s done a great job pouring knowledge into us about what’s going on, like, how they do it in the NFL and critiquing some things, and it’s been really helpful for me in this fall camp.
Alongside Rob Sale, Florida's offensive coordinator/line coach, Decoster presents the players with another dimension and viewpoint. The axiom of "two heads are better than one" applies in this instance. Redudancy helps as well. If Rob Sale were to move on from the Florida Gators for one reason or another, Decoster is set to step in.
Jonathan Decoster's presence and wealth of knowledge at a young age bridges the gap between the coaching staff and their players, fostering a sense of relatability.
