Florida Gators to promote Garrick McGee to quarterbacks coach

With former quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson headed to the NFL, the Florida Gators are promoting Garrick McGee to take over the quarterback room.

A former head coach and offensive coordinator, Dan Mullen brought McGee onto staff as an analyst for the 2020 season.

McGee became head coach at UAB in 2012 but failed with a 5-19 record in two seasons.

Following that, he had stints as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Louisville (2014-15) and Illinois (2016-17). He and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham coached on the same staff at Louisville and coached Lamar Jackson as a freshman.
