Johnson Resigns From Head Coach Position (5/5/05)

Clinton - Josh Johnson announced today in a team meeting that he was resigning from the Clinton Maroons football team.

This comes after two straight seasons where Clinton had made the IHSA state playoffs. His reasons were quote, "I don't know if I'll have a job in two years and I took an offer, but I'm not going to say where because it's not official until May 16th."

The attitudes toward this announcement were split in the football community. Some players were happy and others angry.

Johnson wasn't sure whether he would have a job or not was because of the Clinton School District's floundering budget, which was a big reason why he resigned. A referendum has been put on the ballot for March elections in 2004 and 2005, but both were denied when the results came in.

There has only been one request for the head coach job and that was by the current wrestling head coach and track and field thrower's coach and the current football linesmen coach, Joe Gordillo, according to rumor.

Putting Gordillo into the head coach position could benefit the Maroons team, because they are already familiar with him versus going with a new coach who would be putting in a new type of offense and defense. With still about 3 or 4 months away from football season and major news has already hit Clinton.
