Anyone see this coming? I wonder who will fill the vacancy.. Are there even any Vandy fans on this forum? :confused:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Saying there's never a good time for a football coach to quit, Bobby Johnson retired abruptly Wednesday as the Vanderbilt Commodores' head coach. Vice Chancellor David Williams announced the news in a post on the university's athletic website Wednesday just before a news conference. Minutes later, the 59-year-old Johnson stepped up to a podium and said he was retiring from college football. Johnson called it a very difficult decision but one not prompted by health concerns for either himself or his wife. He said he began seriously considering retirement a month ago, and he informed Williams in a meeting Monday. "Football is not life, but it's a way of life and it consumes your life," Johnson said. "You only have so many years to live, and you want to see a different way."
