Johnson is a likely candidate to replace Woody Widenhofer as the head football coach at Vanderbilt. Furman ends its season here Friday against Montana for the I-AA national championship.

Clark said Thursday that if there would be a coaching change it wouldn't take place until after Furman's game.

For the Marlins to even consider releasing Booty, he would have to repay his then-record $1.6 million signing bonus from 1994. And that's a problem for him.
