Well, the Paul Johnson era is over at Georgia Tech. Johnson retired Wednesday, ending his tenure in Atlanta after 11 seasons. He led the Yellow jackets to an 82-59 record, one ACC Championship and 4 ACC Coastal Division Championships. Of course those successful years were sprinkled in with losing seasons in 2010, 2015 and 2017. His overall record is an impressive 189-98, with most of his success coming in his five years spent at Georgia Southern, where he won two National Championships and competed for one more.
But the successful seasons aren’t his primary legacy. Nor are the unsuccessful seasons scattered through his career at Georgia Tech.
