TAMPA - Florida defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was admitted to a Tampa hospital Tuesday suffering from abdominal pains.
Austin was admitted to Tampa General Hospital, where he underwent tests. He was diagnosed with mild gastritis, according to UF spokesman Steve McClain, and released from the hospital. Gastritis is an inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the lining of the stomach. He was not at practice Tuesday.
Austin, 45, is in his first year as the Gators' defensive coordinator. He came to UF from the Arizona Cardinals, where he was the secondary coach. It has been reported that Austin is one of the leading candidates to become the next defensive coordinator at Texas.
