Whoa, Bobby Johnson retired? Why?
He's retiring for "personal reasons" effective the end of July. He sounds like he simply decided along with his wife that the life they're living now is not one they want to lead anymore. Given how it's very tough on both a person and on a marriage to be a college head coach, it does make sense. He sounds like he just wants to move on with his life without the daily grind of being a football coach.
We still don't know what prompted the decision or why it had to be now, other than he said that he didn't want a "lame duck" situation after the team struggled last year. He essentially said that he couldn't be the coach even for one season now that his heart isn't in it anymore. It also sounded like all the losing has worn him down.
