One of the dominoes of the coaching carousel season is about to fall in Knoxville, according to Bruce Feldman. Running backs coach David Johnson will be leaving Tennessee for the same job at Florida State.
Our readers shouldn’t be totally surprised. We mentioned the possibility of Johnson heading to Florida State in an earlier article, which gave an overview of some coaches to keep an eye on. We pointed out that Johnson was originally hired by Pruitt from the Memphis Tigers staff. The head coach at that time? Mike Norvell. Once Norvell accepted the FSU opening, this was always a possibility.
