While Paul Johnson‘s Georgia Tech team sat out the college football bowl season, a heavy helping of the option guru’s offense made its presence felt far and wide this year.
While Johnson’s offense wasn’t enough to overcome a lack of clutch defensive play this past season, leaving the Jackets at 5-6, his coaching tree produced some tasty fruit elsewhere.
Currently, three of Paul Johnson’s long-time assistant coaches are at the head of their own successful programs: Ken Niumatalolo at Navy, Jeff Monken at Army and Brian Bohannon at nearby Kennesaw State. All three coaches had relatively solid seasons running their mentor’s ancient wishbone.
