ALL POST ABOUT Ellis Johnson leaving (GO HERE)

[Hogginitall]

He is WAS our defensive coordinator that Bobby Petrino hired from Miss State.

I hope it's not true.

[idiotghos]

With a couple of weeks before national signing day.  This is not good.

I didn't even consider that.  This could be painful.

[muchoclappup]

Is the presser at 4 EST or CST?

[OTTER]

#@%&^**%#@$**&##!!!!!

[Dropkick]

stuff happens. We'll be alright.

[idiotghos]

Is the presser at 4 EST or CST?

They're pretty nice for defending the high ground.

[muchoclappup]

We'll be happy or cussing here in 30 mins then.

Well, you'll be cussing then, because you don't have a PC to not announce a change of this kind.

[Luke Matheson]

Who would you guys like as a replacement?

[OnYourToes]

Who would you guys like as a replacement?

Will Muschamp.   

[Panthers63]

He's not going anywhere.

[idiotghos]

That there's a presser means USC's got a new DC, not necessarily that they've got Johnson.

[Luke Matheson]

He's not going anywhere.

Wait and see. You only have 27 minutes.

[BCShogs]

Is there not any loyalty in college football anymore? I thought I remembered Ellis Johnson saying recently that he didn't consider the South Carolina job because they didn't have the tradition or as good a program as we do. That made me think he had the opportunity to take that job before he was hired by Petrino.

[Landonhog]

Great timing with NSD only 13 days away....

Oh, and check your PM

Karma headed your way. I was being sarcastic and people who do not have a clue respond.

[Greyhands]

We the BS never end

[Dropkick]

Is Tenuta still out there? You gotta admit it would be ironic if we stole Johnson from MSU and the ole ball coach stole him from us. I said "ironic" not funny.

[Panthers63]

Link?

[booogaga]

crazy. just crazy. even after the article today.

You're right.  He said he turned down the opportunity to work with Spurrier to come to Arkansas.  I don't know why (or if) he's changed his mind.

[OnYourToes]

hSv, Douglas, cue the coaching seach forum.   

[Dropkick]

Could be a personality clash with Petrino. If so, hit the road now and lets move ahead.

[1964]

If this is true, it's classic Spurrier tactics.

[Coach Obvious]

No link, great source, wait till 3PM CST.

Thanks. I believe you.

[Dropkick]

Or........Petrino had to put this staff together in a hurry, Johnson may not have been a good fit and realized after coming aboard.

[HawgTrough]

This ought to draw defensive recruits in by the hundreds. Somebody pleaase tell me this is just hogwash (pun).

[taintlint]

Exactly, how long ago in the South Carolina DC leave. 1-2 days ago, granted EVEN IF spurrier contacted Johnson I highly doubt that EJ would pack up his things and leave right now. There's no way he could have left Fayetteville and be in SC for a 3 o'clock presser.......jackarse.

That is normally how it works. Coaches LITERALLY get on a plane, fly to their new school, and accept the job all within 8 hours. (Petrino, Muschamp.......on and on and on)

Yes, he would just get up and go.

[Cassperr]

well doesn't that just suck a donkey stick!! Espin will have there way with us yet again if this is true

That is normally how it works.

kinda what I was thinking..  get on a plane, fly there say hello, im your new coach, were going to kick ass.. Get back on plane, fly back to the hill, pack belongings and leave

[BCShogs]

Could be a personality clash with Petrino. If so, hit the road now and lets move ahead.

Or he could've realized that the players we have returning on defense would make it hard for us to be successful next year. I hope that's not it.

Right now there's a talk show on and they are ripping Arkansas and Petrino.  Saying BP is getting what he deserves.  Call in and rip them if you'd like 803-404-6100.  I'd love to hear some of you get on the hosts(Duce Staley is one of them)

PC is in 15 minutes, they'll carry it live.  This is the Gamecock radio station.   

[BCShogs]

Yeah, we are already very thin on defense with this recruiting class.

[muchoclappup]

Watch Spurrier is just announcing Van Gorder leaving and they have a vacancy but have not made a hire.

[rljjr]

It does suck, but it's not going to be the end of us. You know BP is working the phones. It's going to be alright. It's just painful right now.

[Dropkick]

You may be onto something. I hope that isn't the case either.

[havok]

Who would you guys like as a replacement?

Keith Burns...   Ever since he left, our defense has taken dramatic steps backward...and good God, how many Quarterbacks have we faced that looked like heisman finalist when we played them in the last 8 years??

[Oliver]

It does suck, but it's not going to be the end of us. You know BP is working the phones. It's going to be alright. It's just painful right now.

There aren't a lot of good defensive coordinators without jobs right now and I imagine there are also fewer ones that will bail ship this close to signing day on their school unlike our DC.

[Cassperr]

gotta direct link.. theres like 15000000 link. I feel like im looking at porn, each time I click a link it takes me somewhere else. lol

[Dropkick]

Where is Burnsy now? I always liked his defense. Very aggressive with a lot of imagination on ways to get to the QB.
