For a brief moment, it looked like Dan Mullen had his coaching staff set for the 2021 season. That lasted all of five days.
Reports surfaced on Wednesday afternoon that offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson was leaving Florida for the quarterbacks coach job with the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, Mullen finds himself embarking on yet another coaching search that figures to feature plenty of twists and turns over the next couple of weeks.
Unlike the departures of Torrian Gray and Ron English, losing Johnson is a massive blow for the Gators. He helped orchestrate one of the best passing attacks in program history and helped develop Kyle Trask into a Heisman Trophy finalist.
