— -- GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida has fired offensive coordinator Brent Pease after the program's first losing season since 1979, a person familiar with the situation has told ESPN.com's Edward Aschoff.

Pease was let go Sunday, one day after the Gators (4-8) ended the season with a 37-7 loss to rival Florida State.

Offensive line coach Tim Davis will also be fired Sunday, a source said.

The Associated Press earlier reported the Pease move, which had been expected for weeks, as the losses mounted and it became clear coach Will Muschamp would make changes on the offensive side of the ball.

Pease became the scapegoat for a dismal season that included a dreadful offense. The Gators rank 112th in the nation in total offense.
