Gators promote Garrick McGee to coach QBs

Dan Mullen has promoted Garrick McGee to work with the Florida Gators’ quarterbacks, aiming to tap into the veteran offensive coach’s vast experience and knowledge.

McGee will replace 33-year-old wunderkind Brian Johnson, who left the Gators to become offensive coordinator for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles after serving two three-year stints under Mullen coaching QBs — at UF (2018-20) and Mississippi State (2014-16). Johnson also served as Gators’ offensive coordinator in 2020, but Mullen still handled primary play-calling duties as he has during his 12 seasons as a head coach.

“Garrick brings a wealth of knowledge to our offensive room,” Mullen said.
