Sal Sunseri is simple in his complexity; yet complex in his simplicity. He’s a man that arrived in Gainesville to serve as the defensive line position coach for Dan Mullen’s Florida Gators with 34 years of coaching experience, having sent over 20 players to the NFL and 10 years coaching in the league itself.
He’s a man from Pittsburgh who has made a name for himself in the southern scape of college football.
Sometimes he’s described as “NFL and business like” while others say “much more suited to college than the league.”

He’s a man of contradictions in that two separate people can describe him in two different ways yet both explanations are tethered back to the same nucleus; he is un-apologetically himself.
He’s abrasive yet comforting. When this reporter first encountered Sal Sunseri it was a wide-eyed student intern stepping onto the hallowed grounds of the Alabama practice field. There Sunseri held court, a mammoth of a presence looming over his players in a way that was every bit intimidating…yet also the epitome of what my grandfather wistfully recalled as the original football coach.
It’s also there on that practice field that we really see who Sunseri is—as a person, as a coach and as a cog in the machine of a championship football program.
