Once Florida hired offensive coordinator Charlie Weis to run a pro-style offense, John Brantley's decision became clear. Brantley, mostly ineffective in Florida's spread system, chose Friday to stay in Gainesville and finish his college career with the Gators. Brantley considered transferring after coach Urban Meyer stepped down last month, wanting to see if he might find a better fit elsewhere. But his father, John Brantley III, told The Associated Press in a text message that his son has "been a Gator his whole life and no reason to change now." So Brantley will get a fresh start under Weis, whose resume includes productive, pro-style offenses at Notre Dame. Weis also won three Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots and helped the Kansas City Chiefs make the playoffs this season. "[The pro offense is] something that he was very comfortable doing in high school and I'm sure that's something he's going to look forward to doing," said Jacksonville coach Kerwin Bell, who coached Brantley at Trinity High in nearby Ocala. "He is going to have a wonderful guy with a lot of experience who's coached a lot of great quarterbacks." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6023218
