Max Johnson has been in college football for a long time.
So long, in fact, that he has played for three national championship-winning coaches.
The problem?
All three of those title-winning coaches have subsequently been fired.
“Johnson has been around long enough to have played for three national championship coaches: Ed Orgeron, Jimbo Fisher and Mack Brown (all since fired),” writes The Athletic in its naming of Johnson to its All-Geezer team. “He was QB1 at LSU in 2020 and 2021 before leaving for Texas A&M but has had the worst luck since. He suffered season-ending injuries both years with the Aggies and then again in UNC’s Thursday-night opener at Minnesota last season. Now he gets to add Bill Belichick to that list of coaches with rings.”

Quarterbacks are important, of course.
Belichick definitely knows that after a Patriots run helmed by Tom Brady.
And Johnson is a talented passer, to be sure.
But if you were looking for a bad omen, he might be one.
