Mattison leaving Gainesville for Baltimore

UF co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison has accepted an assitant coaching job with the Baltimore Ravens.

Mattison's replacement is former Iowa State coach Dan McCarney, who joined the Gators' staff on Friday.

Mattison coached Florida's defensive line, and McCarney has spent half of his 30 years in coaching in charge of defensive lines.

"When you have coached at a number of great places, like I've had the opportunity to do, you always wonder which one you will remember," Mattison said. "If this is the last college place I'm going to be at, how will it stack up? I can honestly say the University of Florida will always be my favorite place. I will always look at myself as being a Gator."
