In February 2005, Heater followed Urban Meyer to the University of Florida as cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator.[26][27] In September 2006, Meyer said of Heater: "He's one of the best teachers. I used to just sit in his meetings and watch him coach."[28] In the 2008 Capital One Bowl, Heater coached against the Michigan Wolverines for the 14th time in his career.[8] At the time, Heater told the press, "It's nothing new for me, but it's always a game I look forward to because I have a lot of respect for their program and who they are."[8] After three years as the cornerbacks coach, Heater became the Gators assistant defensive coordinator under Charlie Strong and safeties coach in 2008.[29] In January 2010, Heater was promoted to co-defensive coordinator.[30]

Marshall
