So I was thinking about the possibility of Malzahn bolting to Texas. If that happens Richt should try to snag Ellis Johnson away from Auburn. He put SC's defense on the map and turned around a horrible Auburn defense in one season. What say you Dawg nation?

I wanted him the first time around but I kinda wanna keep the 3-4
He runs the 4-2-5, right? I guess I could dig that but I still wanna make the 3-4 work

I'm on board. He actually knows how the star/spur position is supposed to be played.

it' no different than willie martinez or brian van gorder.
pressure the qb with a 4 man pass rush (ie. my 4 on defense are better than your 5 on offense), and good things happen.
But if the 4 man pass rush doesn't dominate, then you get van gorder's career after UGA (or willie without 40 sacks like we had in 2007).
we don't need ellis. his defense gives up about 70 more yards per game against the SEC than we currently do this year.

Auburn already has a new contract on the table for him.

Meh. He had a lot of help, including their schedule and low expectations.

Johnson runs the 4-2-5. Your team has been recruiting for the 3-4 for many years now. There won't be as swift as a transition as y'all would hope. JHC would make a monster Spur though.
Johnson is one of the best DC's in the country. He was a bad HC, but you can't question his DC prowess, looks at his defenses' rankings over the years, he gets the job done at an elite level.
He's as old or older than Spurrier though, he might coach 4-5 more years and then retire. I don't think he'll leave Aub.
