University of Florida head football coach Urban Meyer named Ohio native Troy Starr as Director of Football Operations Monday. Starr comes to Gainesville after nearly 15 years as head coach and physical education teacher at Taft High School (Woodland Hills, Calif.) where he developed the Toreadors into one of the most successful teams in the Los Angeles City Section.
“I have known Troy for 20-plus years from his college football playing days at Mount Union, Ohio,” said Meyer. “I’m excited that he is finally joining our staff. We have actually tried to hire him on a number of occasions before, but it wasn’t the right fit for his family and his children at the time. Troy is a natural fit for the Gator football family, having spent the last 15-plus years teaching various life skills at the high school level and the last 20 years coaching high school athletes."
