Vanderbilt coach Johnson retires

Vanderbilt's Bobby Johnson has abruptly retired as the Commodores' head coach.

Vice Chancellor David Williams announced the news in a post on the university's athletic website Wednesday just before a news conference.

An emotional Johnson called it a very difficult decision but one not prompted by health concerns for either himself or his wife. And he clarified that he was not merely stepping down from a job, but walking away from coaching.

"I've decided to retire, not resign," Johnson said. "It's a tough decision with which my wife, Catherine, and I struggled. This is a personal decision."

"Football is not life, but it's a way of life and it consumes your life," Johnson said. "You only have so many years to live, and you want to see a different way."

Williams announced that Robbie Caldwell will be the interim head coach after serving as assistant head coach.

Johnson is a hell of a coach, the kind of guy you want running your program. He just got stuck an a suck ass Vandy team. If they were in the ACC, they could probably compete. But the SEC, no way.
