2015: UL OC Jay Johnson is Heading Home

Good luck Coach! You did a great job while here and we won't forget your contribution in helping turn our program around. Lots of critics on RP, and a couple sometimes sound like they know a little about college football, then you got several wankers.

You are always welcome in Cajun country.

If we were to need a HC for whatever reason in the comings years, I would hope Jay Johnson would be in the list of interviews.

Best of luck to coach Johnson, it sounds like a dream of an opportunity.

In the (recent) past I've questioned Johnson's ability with our offense, now I'm wondering if perhaps his hands have been tied down. One thing is for sure, we will see what he is capable of. I'm hoping we won't be sitting here in another year thinking about what could have been...

LOUISIANA — Jay Johnson, who has spent the past five seasons as the Louisiana football team's offensive coordinator, is going home.

Johnson, a Minnesota native, has accepted a position as the University of Minnesota's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, UL confirmed Monday night.

Wonder if Haack ends up in Minnesota...

[CrazyCajun]

I think haack wants his parents to be able to see him play, I think he will be somewhere in Louisiana or Texas

-----So who is the new guy---Gautier comes from LSU!!! Kidding but I would think that the $250K salary would interest quite a few up and coming along with oldie but goodies---Think that we would choose a guy who has pulled the trigger from the top spot in the offense!!! Carl Smith returns to Lafayette----Finishes with a Super Bowl win and almost 20 years as a coordinator and QB coach with retirement money ------What about promotion from the current Offensive staff??? They have been together for 5 years with some good success----Would the OC also be the QB coach---Will some coaches be let go??? Let the post begin!!! LOL

Thanks for the fun times Jay.

Hope you have continued success at Minnesota.
