No, however there is a rumble that Johns is going to be the new WR coach, so
connect the dots

Having talked with McGee over the last few years, he's a very bright, talented
guy who knows how to whip WR's in shape. I'd expect his offense to be even
sharper than Dunbar's. He's also an old QB so he kinda knows the position.

Most important was the connection with RW at Miami and NC.

When he was hired as a TE coach, I think I commented that he seemed
overqualified to be a TE coach....

McGee has experience in the pros, however, as a QC guy for the Jaguars - he
knows how to critique an offenses performance and his sessions with the WR's are
known for his toughness.

Or the spread?

IMHO  -Yes
