South Carolina Grabbing Ellis Johnson?

Current Mississippi State defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson has been offered the South Carolina Def. Co. job according to Rivals. It is expected that he will take the job.

His defenses weren't sensational, but Johnson's side of the ball definitely did most of the work when it came to winning games. Are you sure you guys wouldn't rather have McCorvey instead? No? Darn. Heck, I'd even be okay with Johnson moving on as long as South Carolina took McCorvey with him.

So, assuming Johnson does indeed move on, this is a big deal. With it being likely that the offense will continue to be nonexistant in the future, this team will have to continue to rely on the defense to win games as we saw this year. That being said, whomever Croom hires as a replacement MUST be a homerun. If the defense slips in the future its katie-bar-the-door. I can virtually guarantee MSU will be right back in the cellar. Unless McCorvey, or whomever is calling plays for the offense, miraculously gets their head out of their butt after four years.
