Is this the same DC that got assaulted at the 2010 SECCG?

Not a good record has HC, but a very damn good DC. He will definately bring discipline and Defensive smarts to the defense. IMO Johnson is to defense as Malzahn is to Offense.

If he succeeds he could be here a while too. Since apparently he sucks as a HC.

Bleacher report warning! but someone posted this on Rivals to explain his scheme.

The base formation can mostly simply be called a 4-2-5 defense. That is, four down linemen, 2 linebackers, and 5 defensive backs. Normally this would be called a nickel formation, but for reasons we will see, this isn't really a nickel defense.
The primary difference is that the fifth defensive back is more of a linebacker/strong safety hybrid than a typical nickel back. In a typical nickel scheme, the extra defensive back either plays a deep zone or covers the slot receiver one-on-one. In Ellis Johnson's scheme, the "spur" plays much more of a run-support/blitzing/underneath-coverage role than a nickel back.
So, in many ways you could call this defense a 4-2-1-4 defense: four down linemen, two linebackers, one spur, and four true defensive backs.
