Whenever he does retire I hope the majority of Tech fans will recognize and appreciate how much he accomplished with so little resources.
Not sure how reliable of a person he is but Bill Shanks is reporting Johnson is retiring.
There aren't a ton but I know Tobias Oliver is Industrial Eng and Brad Stewart is Mechanical Eng. You can find a few more if you click through the roster. By and large you are right though.
AJC Article
The Johnson era at Tech ends with an 83-59 record, the longest tenure and most wins for a head coach at the school since coach Bobby Dodd’s retirement.
He did it with a spread-option offense that was derided by many but bedeviled opponents and piled up points and yards.
Tech won the 2009 ACC championship – just the third in school history – and finished eighth in the country in 2014 with a team that won 11 games while beating Virginia Tech, Miami, Clemson, Georgia and Mississippi State. In 2008, his first season at Tech, the Jackets ended a seven-game losing streak to archrival Georgia, and then led the Jackets to wins in Athens in 2014 and 2016.
The team’s two Orange Bowl appearances, at the end of the 2009 and 2014 seasons, were the Jackets’ only major-bowl appearances since Dodd.
NoWhat do y'all think about UGAG Defensive Coordinator Mel Tucker or UGAG Offensive Coordinator Jim Chaney?
