Coaching career
Johnson was the 19th head football coach at Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas and he held that position for two seasons, from 1997 until 1998. His record at Prairie View was 1–19.
Johnson lost the first 12 games of his career—part of an 80-game losing streak over parts of 10 seasons, the longest in NCAA history. However, it was in the fourth game of his second season as head coach when the streak was broken by a 14–12 victory over Langston. Tensions over the losing streak had grown so high at the school that the entire marching band was suspended by the conference the week before as a result of fighting between marching bands.
