This move baffles me... best of luck to Coach Johnson. Another school thinking they should be better than they are... time will tell, but this is bad timing. New coach comes in (or moves up from within) and makes changes that the kids don’t adjust to until halfway through the season, probably finish similar spot as this year and get slaughtered in the first round again. The grass isn’t always greener falcon nation... The kids probably loved him and some parents got together and complained over stuff they know nothing about. They better hire from within, because if I were a coach I wouldn’t want to go to a place where they let you got after a 7 win season and good numbers throughout the program. Just an outsiders perspective. Basketball and baseball coaches better be on their toes if the same kids play the big 3 sports. They just let got of a man who dedicated a decade to Forbush, no coach is safe.
Unless he wants a year off or decides to take a coordinator position maybe in Forsyth, I say he ends up at West Wilkes.
Some schools need to realize they will never be world beaters in football, and if you have a coach that builds great young men and had a solid relationship with the kids, thats ok.
Where does he live, did he move to Yadkin county?West would be perfect for him honestly just hope he didn't miss their deadline. They have similar talent to 'Bush but they need some stabilization and he's the perfect coach for that. Hear their middle school team wasn't bad so he might have some talent to work with if it he gets it.

I figure their applicant pool hasn't been huge or at least quality if I had to guess. Could be wrong. Either way if I'm Rutz I'm on the phone with Johnson no matter who I've interviewed.
Yeah pretty much.. from what I understand Rutz took the job because they had no one they liked to pick from. sad state to be in. Their landscape got so nuked they had to rebuild it to being even habitable for someone to take over. This may be their chance to rebuild properly.
When you have a coach of his caliber available you need to at least offer him an invite down. It is possible to win at West.. they had solid years for the most part for 13 years back when I was coming up until when Hunt got there. They won't ever have the fast cats but they can outhit people with the right talent.
To at least not offer him a coordinator spot would be dumb. It wouldn't take him long at all to do well there, I hope it happens honestly.
From what I heard at the time, he did apply for the MA job. Not sure if that's factual or not but with his positive history there I'd think it was true.Did he even apply for the Mount Airy job?

From the people I have talked to, Principal Sandy George didn’t want him hired at MA because apparently she isn’t (or wasn’t) too fond of Coach Johnson. Heard that Coach Holder was rather dumbfounded when he found out Coach Johnson wasn’t getting the MA job a couple of years ago. Small town politics...If he did he wasn't a finalist for whatever reason when they interviewed.
