Oh well - this will be interesting

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida has confirmed that former Notre Dame Fighting Irish coach Charlie Weis will be Will Muschamp's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Florida's announcement follows Sunday's confirmation by the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs that Weis would be leaving the team to again join the college ranks. Weis will remain as offensive coordinator of the Chiefs through the postseason.
Following Sunday's regular season-ending loss to the Raiders, Weis said the Florida job will not be a distraction to him as he helps Kansas City prepare for its upcoming wild-card playoff game.
"I will do everything I can to help the Chiefs be successful,'' Weis told reporters Sunday. "I'm working for the Chiefs as long as we can make this work. Now that we're in the tournament, I'm hoping we play until February.
"I've gone through this once before [leaving the New England Patriots' staff to be the coach at Notre Dame], so I have a very good reference on how to separate family business from work. Fortunately, after going through it the last time, I had a very good experience. You go to work, you work all day. You do everything in preparation [for the game] and at the end of the day, if there's something else that has to be done, that's the time you do it."
The Gators also announced Monday that they have hired Dan Quinn as defensive coordinator and defensive line coach, Frank Verducci as offensive line coach and running game coordinator and George Wynn as director of football operations.
Quinn has spent the past 10 seasons coaching defense in the NFL, including the past two seasons as the Seahawks' defensive line coach. He worked alongside Muschamp when they were both Miami Dolphins assistants.
Verducci coached at Notre Dame in 2009 after eight seasons in the NFL with Cleveland (2007-08), Buffalo (2004-05), Dallas (2002) and Cincinnati (1999-2001).
Wynn comes to Florida after serving the past six seasons at assistant athletic director for football operations at Texas.
