Johnson, who brought his unique flexbone option offense to the Yellow Jackets in 2008, went 82-59 in his eleven seasons. In that time, Georgia Tech appeared in nine bowl games and two Orange Bowls.
ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg reports that former Georgia Tech player Ken Whisenhunt — currently the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers — is among the people being considered to take Johnson’s place.
Prior to taking the job at Georgia Tech, Johnson spent five years as the head coach at Georgia Southern, going 62-10, and six years as the head coach at the U.S. Naval Academy, winning 45 out of 74 games.
Georgia Tech went 7-5 in the regular season this year, losing their regular season finale to in-state rival Georgia last weekend.
