Friday, December 15, 2017 | Football
Warren joins the Gators after spending the 2017 season in Knoxville.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida football head coach Dan Mullen has announced the hire of Charlton Warren as an assistant coach following one season as Tennessee's Defensive Backs coach and special teams coordinator.
A native of Atlanta, Warren has spent a majority of his coaching career at Air Force, his alma mater, where he served in many roles during his nine seasons on staff.
In addition, Warren was a three-year letterman at defensive back for the Falcons, and helped the program achieve consecutive 10-win seasons in 1997 and 1998.
In addition to his coaching experience on the collegiate level, Warren participated in the NFL minority internship program in 2007 with the Houston Texans. He spent training camp with the Texans, and assisted with the defensive and special teams units.
Tennessee (2017)
Warren molded Tennessee's passing defenses into one of the stingiest in the SEC, allowing the second-fewest passing yards (1,950) and yards per game (161.7). The Volunteers pass efficiency defense (127.8) was good enough for seventh in the league.
The Volunteers were also one of just five SEC schools to return a kickoff for a touchdown in 2017.
North Carolina (2015-16)
Under Warren's watch, UNC posted the 10th-best passing defense in the NCAA in 2016, allowing only 180.8 yards per game through the air.
In his first year in Chapel Hill, Warren played a major role for a North Carolina defense that allowed 14.5 fewer points from the previous season, the best improvement of any Power 5 program.
UNC also had the most improved pass defense in the country in both pass efficiency and yards per pass attempt. The Tar Heels led the ACC in interceptions, turnovers gained and passes defended while posting an 11-3 record and a berth in the ACC Championship Game.
The 2015 Tar Heels allowed only 11 passing touchdowns, the fourth fewest in the NCAA. Senior cornerback Des Lawrence earned third-team All-ACC honors.
Nebraska (2014)
Nebraska ranked fifth nationally in pass efficiency defense and 32nd in passing yards allowed under Warren's tutelage in 2014. The Huskers ranked second nationally in completion percentage (48.5 pct.), 13th in yards per passing attempt (6.1) and 19th in touchdown passes (15).
Air Force (2005-13)
Prior to joining Nebraska, Warren began his coaching career at his alma mater, Air Force, where he spent nine seasons beginning in 2005.
He spent three seasons as secondary coach/recruiting coordinator, three seasons as co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach/recruiting coordinator before he was promoted to associate head coach/defensive coordinator in 2012.
In 2011, the Air Force pass defense ranked third in NCAA passing yards allowed at 166.8 yards per game and was second in 2010 by allowing 147.8 yards per game.
The 2009 Falcons defense ranked seventh nationally with 20 interceptions and led the nation in turnover margin. In addition, that 2009 defense ranked in the top 20 nationally in passing yards allowed (5th), total defense (11th) and pass efficiency defense (17th).
Background
Warren graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in human factors engineering and earned his MBA from Georgia College and State University in 2003.
During his time at Air Force, Warren was a three-year letterman at defensive back for the Falcons, helping the program achieve consecutive 10-win seasons in 1997 and 1998, including a 12-1 record and an outright conference title in 1998.
Following his collegiate career, Warren performed his active service as a systems acquisitions manager at both Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia and Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
