With former quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson headed to the NFL, the Florida Gators are promoting Garrick McGee to take over from the quarterback.
Former head coach and offensive coordinator Dan Mullen has recruited McGee as an analyst for the 2020 season.
McGee became the UAB head coach in 2012, but failed with a 5-19 record in two seasons.
Subsequently, he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in Louisville (2014-15) and Illinois (2016-17). He and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham coaches on the same staff at Louisville and coached Lamar Jackson in freshman year.
McGee also has previous SEC experience in Arkansas and Missouri. He coached the quarterbacks for the Razorbacks from 2008-2009 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2010-11. He was an analyst and receivers coach at Mizzou for the two seasons leading up to his arrival in Florida.
The 47-year-old has 25 years of coaching experience and has played quarterback in Arizona State, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and Oklahoma.
McGee takes over a deep quarterback room for the Gators which likely includes starter Emory Jones as well as Gainesville native Anthony Richardson and real freshmen Carlos Del Rio Wilson and Jalen Kitna.
