Paul Johnson to retire after 11 years as Georgia Tech football coach

The triple option is moving to Florida (or something like that).

According to USAToday, Georgia Tech football coach, Paul Johnson will retire.

Paul Johnson, who kept the triple option relevant in Power Five football, is retiring after 11 seasons at Georgia Tech.

Johnson, 61, a three-time ACC coach of the year and Tech's winningest coach in more than five decades, has been contemplating retirement for several weeks. Georgia Tech was 7-5 this season.

“After 40 years of coaching, it’s time to take a break,” Johnson said in a statement. “My family has sacrificed a lot over the years. I want to watch my daughter [Kaitlyn, a professional opera singer] perform and do some things with my wife [Susan] that we’ve never had a chance to do. It’s been a great run for the last 11 years here on The Flats. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and am looking forward to having the chance to coach this team one last time at our bowl game next month.”
