Maybe about to become moot, but the thread title here is outdated, as Johnson left Arkansas four years ago.

Pretty strong from what I remember.

So you're saying he exercises good judgement, too?

Yep, coached one season under Biff (after coaching under Petrino and Johnell), then left for Purdue, now DC at Temple.

Pretty solid when he was at Ohio State during the Tressel era

Anyone who recruits a guy who'll fly the bird in the Pig House is alright by me!

We're talking guys like Kurt Coleman, Malcolm Jenkins, Chimdi Chekwa, Jermale Hines. Lower ranked guys who developed into studs

Wait.......so Yao Smith? Sign me the fuck up twice.

Edit: Bah.....Smith left right before Taver came on. Oh well.

No longer listed on Temple’s site and has been added back to the OSU directory.

Oh hell yes, this would be a slam dunk re-hire. Taver is an excellent DB coach and can recruit with the best of them. Very fond memories of him when he was here, what a grab.
