Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson, whose 189 career wins rank fourth among active FBS coaches, will retire after this season, the school announced Wednesday. Johnson, 61, is fourth all-time at Georgia Tech with an 82-59 mark and has a career coaching record of 189-98 over 22 seasons. He guided the Yellow Jackets to the ACC championship in 2009, and he finished first or second in the Coastal Division in seven of his 11 seasons. The Yellow Jackets lost to rival Georgia 45-21 last Saturday to finish 7-5. They await a bowl assignment, which would be Johnson’s ninth at Georgia Tech.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles on Wednesday said he has no idea whether he has played his last game for the franchise that drafted him third overall in 2014. He says all he’s concerned with now is doing whatever he can to help the Jaguars (3-8) snap a seven-game losing streak as Cody Kessler takes over starting duties. Coach Doug Marrone benched Bortles and fired offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett on Monday after the team’s 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
