Seeing his name pop up quite a bit as a plan C guy. What's his connection there? Is it just that he was QB coach at Mississippi State for a bit, and Cohen is a State guy?

I assume that's the connection.

It's an interesting option to me.

He was at MS with Mullen while Cohen was the AD I believe. Other than that I have nothing.

He beat Alabama in a Sugar Bowl.

That’s his main qualification.

I had to google to figure out who this was. Where are you seeing he’s an option?

Yeah I think that's it. He's a Mullen protege - coached with him at State and UF. Also he now has NFL experience.

But, if we go that route, why not just hire Mullen?

BJ was responsible for a lot of the passing game shift in Mullen’s offense with Trask, probably deserves more credit than he gets for that offense after Mullen’s one year as our head coach without him. There were definitely people hoping we could promote him to HC when Mullen was trying to move to NFL. He’s doing an incredible job with Hurts right now in Philly.
