Florida is set to hire Auburn defensive coordinator Ron Roberts, a veteran playcaller and former FCS head coach, as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, a source told ESPN on Monday, confirming a report.

Roberts spent the 2023 season at Auburn alongside coach Hugh Freeze, overseeing a defense that ranked 45th nationally in yards allowed and 41st in points allowed. As ESPN previously reported, Auburn is set to hire Colorado defensive coordinator Charles Kelly in a coordinator role. Kelly has called defensive plays at several schools, including Florida State.

Auburn last week fired offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery.
