Florida fires track coach; names assistant to position

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA - Florida fired men&#39;s track coach Doug Brown on Monday and replaced him with associate coach Mike Holloway. <br> <br> The Gators are coming off a tie for fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, matching their best finish in Brown&#39;s seven-year tenure. But his teams never won a Southeastern Conference title and were inconsistent. <br> <br> Florida finished 34th at this year&#39;s NCAA Indoor Championships and was 28th at NCAA Outdoors in 2001. <br> <br> Holloway, 42, worked with the sprinters throughout Brown&#39;s tenure. His athletes accounted for more than 80 percent of Florida&#39;s points at the NCAA Outdoors during that span. <br> <br> One of his charges, Rickey Harris, won the NCAA 400-meter hurdles last week.
