- The Stags were 9-22 this season, losing to Manhattan in the first round of the MAAC tournament last week. Johnson was 116-147 in eight seasons at Fairfield, yet earned a contract extension after leading the Stags to the MAAC championship game a year ago. -
- “I want to thank Coach Johnson for his commitment to Fairfield. He has led our program with integrity, served as a great mentor to our student-athletes and been a valued member of the University community,†athletic director Paul Schlickmann said in a statement. “We wish him and his family the very best in the next phase of their journey.â€
Johnson arrived in 2011 after leading his alma mater Princeton to 47 wins over two seasons and a 66-53 records in four seasons. His 2010-11 team qualified for the NCAA Tournament.
Johnson replaced Ed Cooley, who left Fairfield for Providence. Cooley was 92-69 in four years at Fairfield.
“I can't thank Fairfield University, Mark Nemec and Paul Schlickmann enough for the opportunity I was given to lead the men's basketball program for the past two seasons,†Johnson said. “My family and I will always be indebted to the Stag Nation for the memories over the years. I wish our student-athletes, alumni and fans all the best moving forward.â€
Johnson was 68-84 in the MAAC, twice reaching the conference tournament final (2012, 2018). -
