AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn has hired Tim Tebow's former quarterback coach at Florida as its new offensive coordinator, the newspapers of al.com have learned.

Scot Loeffler is coming to Auburn after spending the 2011 season as Temple's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Loeffler was Florida's quarterback coach in 2009, Tebow's last season, and was also with the Gators in 2010.

He's been a coach for 13 years, including the 2008 season with the Detroit Lions.

He'll be on the recruiting trail Monday morning.

Loeffler replaces Gus Malzahn, 40 days after the former offensive coordinator was named the head coach at Arkansas State.

The hiring of Loeffler completes a reshuffling of Gene Chizik's two most high-profile positions. Auburn hired former Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder as its defensive coordinator earlier this month. The move gives Auburn coordinators with both college and NFL experience.

Loeffler's 2009 Florida quarterbacks led the nation in passing efficiency which included 3,305 yards for 28 touchdowns.

Loeffler, 37, played quarterback at Michigan from 1993-96, and was the Wolverines' quarterback coach from 2002-007. He was Central Michigan's quarterbacks' coach from 2000-01.
