Honestly I'm mostly frustrated with the way FAU has handled to coaching changes. Leaving Michael Johnson Sr. hanging is a bad look, similar to Miami going behind Diaz's back to get Cristobal, and then firing him once they got the coach they wanted.
Taggart isn't going to be able to hire a really good staff because he's clearly on the hottest going into next year, with an underperforming squad. So the best he can probably do is get somebody to lateral to FAU, or hire somebody who got fired from the same position elsewhere.
Overall though, probably still an upgrade over our offense from last year. And we need a good year going into the AAC.Posted On: Jan 18th 2022, 2:11 PM #406285
I haven't heard that Michael Johnson was left hanging, but I'm not in the know. I feel like Willie would fire him if he didn't want him there.Posted On: Jan 18th 2022, 11:22 PM #406291
Last I heard, his role is still undefined going forward, but we hired a new OC.

Did not see this coming, but I guess we should be prepared for anything when a coach is demoted.
May have been in the works for a while.
If Johnson Jr. does leave with him, his father will still not be his position coach.
Hey, most kids go to college without their father! 🤷♂️

Yea if MJJ is gone I have serious concerns about QB play. We need to bring in an experienced, scrambling QB as an insurance policy similar to what we did with Kosi. He always seemed like an odd fit in Taggart’s offense that you can tell was designed for a running QB
