Paul Johnson Reportedly Will Retire After 17-Year Career with Navy, Georgia Tech

Paul Johnson is reportedly retiring following 17 seasons as a head coach for the Navy Midshipmen and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reported the news Wednesday, while Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com noted a Yellow Jackets team meeting is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. with the expectation Johnson will call it quits.

Rittenberg deemed Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator and former Georgia Tech player Ken Whisenhunt a "top candidate" to replace him and said Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott is also "in the mix."
