According to Football Scoop, Mel Tucker wants some familiar faces to follow him to Colorado.
Jay Johnson, who was on staff the past two seasons at Georgia, is expected to join Tucker’s staff as offensive coordinator source tells FootballScoop. Johnson, who previously served as offensive coordinator at Minnesota and Louisiana Lafayette, served as an offensive analyst / quality control at Georgia.
As for his defensive coordinator, sources tell FootballScoop Tucker offered the position to Georgia outside linebackers coach Dan Lanning. Lanning strongly considered the offer; but after quite some time, we’re told he has decided to turn down the opportunity. We truly understand this was back and forth and back and forth. All indications at this time are that the deal isn’t going to happen; but stranger things have.
Hope that’s all.

That means McGee must be staying and likely getting another nice raise. It probably also means either Lanning or Schumann is going to be promoted to DC.

That next story about Mullen dressing up a recruit’s dad to go full-wanker? That’s about the saddest “living through your kid” bit I’ve seen in awhile.

If that’s what it takes, I’m sure Mullen himself would dress up in full gear.

I may be alone here, but I strongly suspect that the moment is too big for Mullen at UF. His moves and comments since this season started come across as somewhat desperate and insecure.

We will be lucky if that is all we lose, although I hate to see Jay Johnson leave Athens, I feel like he has played a role in improved offensive production the past two seasons. Good luck to him.

I thought Johnson was only on staff this season. I Could be wrong though.

This is the price of success. Get used to it. Bama faces this regularly and does fine. So shall we.

We used to bitch because nobody was coming after our coaches so they must be sorry. Its a routine part of the business.

The question I have is this: Did Mel take a picture of the whiteboard on his way out?
