Coaching hires official thread

Miss Keith calling the games. Think he retired for good about 5-10 years ago.

But I thought Yancy was supposed to be the best S&C coach in the country.

New assistants added to the staff.

Co-DC title for Jennings leads me to believe Major has already selected an additional D.C., but not announced it for some reason. Perhaps a guy on the staff of a playoff team?

I think so. Extremely anxious to hear who it is.

Twitter is rumoring that it’s “the architect of the 3rd ward D”. Gibbs?

Watchu talkin bout Willis??!?

Tech would probably be willing to pay his salary for the first year


Brian Johnson as OC? Heard his name thrown about at the basketball game tonight.

Mississippian state QB coach. From Baytown.

Great college QB too.

Former Utah QB

Played college football at 16. Started at 17. Coordinator at 26. Impressive

I might be missing something here. Utah’s offense was not good when he was OC there. Giving him an OC position because he coached Dak Prescott seems a bit of a stretch.

his last 3 Mississippi State offenses averaged 37 points, 35 points and 32 points per game, the last with a FRESHMAN QB! Johnson is a fine coach, and likely have real success here, especially with a defense that can actually stop someone, which he isnt exactly used to.

It wasn’t his scheme. He isn’t the play caller. John Hevesy is the co-offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and running game coordinator. Giving Brian Johnson credit, like I said before, is a bit of a reach.

The same way you don’t want to give him (B.Johnson) credit, you should not put any blame or shame to him. He’s the QB coach and has tremendous upside.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Co-OC scenario.

Co-OC/QB coach would make a lot more sense.

Exactly. Having QB coach share OC title enables us to pay at a higher pay range.
