per the Daily:
Every Monday, Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner would call Dick Johnson, his former coach in high school and Gophers offensive coordinator Jay Johnson’s father.
Dick Johnson would give Leidner advice, tell him things to work on and wish his family well.
“[This Monday] was a little bit different,” Leidner said.
Dick Johnson died Saturday before the Gophers game against Penn State.
Jay Johnson found out after the game when his mother called him, head coach Tracy Claeys said.
On Tuesday, Jay Johnson was at practice and jogged over to a group of reporters afterward to talk about the impact his father left.
“He's pretty special so it's been hard,” Jay Johnson said. “People have been great. You figure out what an impact he had on people and that's been really special.”
