Florida wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales, RBs coach Jabbar Juluke not being retained

Sources tell On3 that Florida interim head coach and wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales is not being retained on Jon Sumrall’s staff. He’s had three stints at Florida as a wide receivers coach, coming under Urban Meyer, Dan Mullen and Billy Napier.

He’s developed three first-round picks in Ricky Pearsall, Kadarius Toney and Percy Harvin. Gonzales landed top wide receiver talent out of the high school ranks, most recently five-star Vernell Brown and four-star Dallas Wilson. Both were top-50 recruits in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Florida running backs coach Jabbar Juluke is not being retained, sources tell On3. He had been with Napier previously at Louisiana.

Gonzales stepped in as interim coach in October, when Florida fired Billy Napier after four seasons. Gonzales went 1-4 as Florida’s interim coach this season, picking up his lone win over Florida State in the regular season finale.

“A goal of mine would be, obviously, [to] be able to stay here,” Gonzales said in his introductory press conference as interim head coach. “My first goal is to make sure we put a fantastic group of players on that football field that are going to compete and play for the University of Florida.”

Sumrall is a 43-year-old Alabama native who won two conference titles at Troy and made the American Conference title game in 2024 in Year 1 at Tulane. He won a conference title over the weekend and has the Green Wave playing in the College Football Playoff. Sumrall is 11-2 on the season and 43–11 in four years as an FBS head coach.

Florida woman confesses to stabbing 76-year-old roommate to death, authorities say

A Florida woman confessed to stabbing her 76-year-old roommate to death before covering his body with a tarp, stealing his truck and driving away from the scene, according to authorities.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as Shannon R. Giblin, 48.

In a news release, the sheriff’s office said deputies were dispatched to a home on Sunday after they received a report about a person who was not breathing. When they arrived at the home, they found a man, later identified as Paul De Wayne Bradley, who was dead.

Police said they tracked Giblin down in Bradley’s truck, which was missing from the driveway, in Sarasota County.

“As Charlotte County detectives questioned Giblin, she provided a confession to stabbing Bradley following an argument,” Sheriff Bill Prummell said in the release.

“After realizing that the victim was beyond help, Giblin then covered Bradley with a tarp and left the scene in the victim’s pickup truck,” Prummell added.

Online jail records show Giblin was charged with second-degree murder, as well as grand theft of a motor vehicle.

“I want to recognize my Major Crimes detectives who worked this case through the night and identified the suspect quickly,” Prummell said. “They truly show a dedication to their craft and the results are irrefutable. I also want to thank the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office for their quick actions in locating and detaining her based on the intelligence my team was able to share. As I have always said, Southwest Florida is fortunate to have law enforcement who work together so effectively for the people we serve.”

Giblin is being held without bond, according to the release.

Florida No Kings protests planned for Stuart, Fort Pierce

There are two No Kings protests planned for the Treasure Coast; one in Stuart and one in Fort Pierce.

No Kings Day protests are scheduled for March 28, with over a thousand protests planned across the United States.

Organizers say the No Kings events will challenge President Donald Trump as he escalates “his attempts to control us.” Dozens of protests are planned across Florida, including two on the Treasure Coast.

Here’s what to know about the protests.

What is a No Kings protest?

No Kings is a nationwide protest organized in response to President Donald Trump and his administration.

“It is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country,” according to the nokings.org website. “If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken.”

One core principle of No Kings is a commitment to nonviolent action. The organization’s website states participants should seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with dissenters and act lawfully.
