GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida has hired longtime college and NFL assistant Bret Ingalls as an offensive quality control assistant.

Ingalls spent the past seven seasons as an assistant coach with the New Orleans Saints.

The 55-year-old Ingalls began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Idaho in 1982. He has made other stops at San Diego State, Eastern Michigan, Louisville, Northern Iowa, Indiana State, Miami (Ohio) and Northwestern. He joined Sean Payton’s New Orleans staff in 2009, the year the Saints won the Super Bowl.

Ingalls has been an offensive coordinator four times (San Diego State, Louisville, Northern Iowa and Idaho).

He was a running back at Wichita State from 1979-81.
