All signs are pointing to Ron Roberts departing Auburn to take a job at Florida after just one season as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator.

Matt Zenitz of 247Sports was the first to report the news of Roberts’ move Monday afternoon, followed by numerous other reporters from both Auburn and Florida’s beats confirming the reports.

And as evident by Auburn linebacker Eugene Asante’s Instagram story, it seems those in Auburn’s locker room have also caught wind of the news.

“Coach Ron Roberts took a LB who (was) deemed not good enough to play by a previous staff and helped him be one of the leading tacklers in the SEC,” Asante wrote. “For y’all to say he ain’t a good coach is stupid and needs to be examined.”

In 2022, prior to Roberts’ arrival, Asante played in just four games and recorded one tackle.

This past season, Asante led Auburn’s tackling efforts with 86 total tackles, making him the seventh-leading tackler in the SEC in 2023.

“Thank you for everything you did for me coach,” Asante continued. “You instilled confidence into me as a player and I will use everything you taught me daily. Good luck at Florida.”

Asante went on to tag Florida linebacker Shemar James in the post, telling James “you got a good one.”

According to reports, Roberts is set to reunite with Billy Napier and serve as Florida’s executive head coach for defense, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Roberts and Napier previously coached together when Napier was the head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette.
