Coach Johnson gets a major and awesome story in The Athletic from Bruce Feldman. Subscription service, but link here.

My favorite part is the players talking about the LJ persona - how his version of cursing is yelling "Santa Claus!" and how he does the full "I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed...." thing that leaves 300 pound men hanging their heads.

But the real deal is the detail on his coaching of technique and the fact that our guys are just far better prepared to play on Sundays than any other D Line program. For all the "he's going to retire" whispers, there is none of that in this piece. He's 66, and he seems to have all the energy in the world and crazy love for his craft. We are lucky.
