A person familiar with the decision says Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has accepted an offer to be the head coach at Florida.
Muschamp, who just finished his third season at Texas, where he was the head-coach-in-waiting to succeed Mack Brown, replaces Urban Meyer at Florida.
The person confirming the move spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak in advance of a formal announcement later Saturday night.
Sources told ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach that Muschamp was the only person Florida interviewed.
