Matt Johnson set records with Dino Babers at Bowling Green. Now, he joins Babers at Syracuse as a coach

Former Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson, who set records under then-BGSU and current SU head coach Dino Babers, will become an offensive quality control coach at Syracuse, he announced on Instagram Sunday night.

“Today is very bitter sweet,” Johnson wrote. “After playing ball for 16 years of my life, today I decided to step away from playing the game of football. I never wanted it to stop and I never wanted injury to be the reason. But I am a true believer in everything happens for a reason. My football days are far from over as I will be accepting a Offensive Quality Control position at Syracuse University.
