UF hires Houston OC Brian Johnson to be QB coach

[T REX]

I think you'd complain if he brought in Belichick. It's a QB coach, for the love of God.

Good hire.

Ha! I love Coach White and compliment him all the time. Weird. I like Sully. I like Coach Wise. Not sold on Mullen. No surprise there.

PS I would love Belichik. LOL. I would've loved Frost and even that flake Kelly.

I was talking about your hate for Mullen. This is an excellent hire for a QB coach.

No hate Ox. A lot of us didn't want him for a ton of reasons. AM I supposed to just forget all those reasons? Did they disappear all of a sudden? And bringing in all those pieces that couldn't beat anybody with a pulse is not reassuring. I was hoping he'd get some new winning blood on his staff.

Well, at least we've got some coaches who can actually run beside players on the practice field.

Merry Xmas, tRex, we love you man

He was demoted at Utah and had the worst offense at UH in 12 years. He ain't going anywhere. Mullen is sure bringing in a lot of buddies. Where have we seen this before?

Demoted? He was promoted to OC.

Well I mean dude has a 0-0 record as a college HC and wouldn't recruit worth a damn.

"After being demoted from offensive coordinator to co-offensive coordinator to quarterbacks coach, Brian Johnson is looking to revive his coaching career with a longtime mentor."

Say again?

Promoted by Whittingham, demoted by Whittingham. Promoted by Houston. Seems like Mullen is the only one who knows his limit is QB coach. Pretty smart.

I bet Houston was not trying to keep him and who knows... he may well turn out to be a great QBs coach.

Same article says Johnson is one of Mullen's confidants. After Mac brought in his BFF's I am a little gun shy about bringing in all your pals.

No, I didn't want him. I didn't want the Chimp or Butters either. But he's ours. I'm not going to whine about it for the next 9 months and just look at the worst side of everything. I'll give him a chance just like I did the last two. Unlike the last two, I think Mullen will actually run a real football program. Whether or not we can actually win anything of significance under him remains to be seen. I'd settle for not being embarrassed every Saturday as a start. Baby steps.

You might not be kidding but I really doubt Law is even competent to be AD, he has no relevant education that we know of, and no experience either. He might be great at getting Bull Gators angry. Just my POV.

And a list of say coaches that would get his seal of approval would be interesting, I bet almost none would come here. Like say Kelly, and Frost.

Lol. Exchange “Fulmer” for “Law” and whatever they call major Vol boosters for Bull Gators. They are living that hell.

This always makes me wonder because sometimes putting friends in places isn't the best thing for a high end program like UF. I understand that sometimes it helps with terminology and maybe cohesion amongst parts of the staff but NO ONE should be too comfortable just because of their relationship with the boss(coach)...

I think that ultimately depends on the HC. It’s possible to have good relationships on staff for cohesion while understanding that the boss will hold everyone accountable. That clearly didn’t happen with Mac, but we’ll find out if DM can strike the proper balance.

Yeah take a look at the offensive stats for any team that Major Applewhite has run. He was a top choice for Chimp.... let that sink in.

Decent chance that Applewhite was most or all of the problem at Houston.

Well if that is the case it seems it's fortunate he's only the QB coach...28 ppg? Then someone said its really 22 ppg. This is a wait and see deal then....

 

[PaulDrake]

Oh well. He doesn't get the Swamp Donkey seal of approval.

LOL! Perhaps Ox should make an approval spreadsheet so the board can vote on each hire and see who get's the board's "seal of approval"

Good hire.

Good god, are we going to need a suicide watch for assistant coaching hires? What is this, Vol Nation?

 

[NCOGator]

So I guess there is no room on the staff for Kerwin Bell?

Did we hire him to call plays or help develop quarterbacks?
