There aren’t many people who have been associated with Oklahoma football longer than Merv Johnson.
Johnson has been actively involved with Oklahoma football for the past 41 years, as an assistant coach, director of football operations and for the past 20 years as a member of the Sooner broadcast team.
Last week, the 84-year-old Johnson announced his retirement from the role in which Sooner fans knew him the best: as the color analyst for radio broadcasts of Oklahoma football games.
