Former University of North Carolina assistant football coach Dave Huxtable was named linebackers coach at Central Florida on Tuesday. Huxtable coached three seasons at North Carolina as linebackers coach (2001-03) and was the defensive coordinator during his last two years in Chapel Hill.
"I enjoyed working with Dave and I appreciate his hard work and passion for Carolina over the past three seasons," said UNC head coach John Bunting. "I know our players learned a great deal from Hux. I wish him and his family success at Central Florida. Obviously, we now have two positions available on our defense staff and I will continue to search for the best possible coaches to fill those vacancies."
Huxtable is George O'Leary's first new hire at UCF. Huxtable and O'Leary coached together at Georgia Tech from 1994-97. While serving as linebackers coach at Georgia Tech from 1992-97, he also served three years as special teams coordinator (1992-94) and defensive coordinator (1996-97) for the Yellow Jackets.
"I appreciate everything Coach Bunting has done for me and my family. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and being a part of the Carolina staff. I'd like to thank the defensive players for all the hard work and dedication that they've given me. I wish nothing but the best for Coach Bunting and the UNC football program. I know Coach Bunting is going to get the job done here and it's going to happen fast."
