Kevin begins his second season with the Colonels after helping Nicholls to its highest win total since the 2001 season. Johnson joined the staff in 2007 after spending the two previous seasons as an assistant at Louisiana Tech. While with the Bulldogs, Johnson helped guide Louisiana Tech to a 30-33 overall record including a 20-13 mark and an 11-5 conference ledger through the 2005-06 season and an appearance in the post-season NIT Tournament. Before taking the job at Louisiana Tech, Johnson served as the head coach at Centenary College in Shreveport, La., for six seasons. In those six seasons, he compiled an overall record of 65-100, including a 50-17 mark at home. In 2003-04, Johnson guided the Gents to a second-place finish in the Mid-Continent Conference with a 16-12 overall record (10-6 MCC) and a perfect 13-0 mark at home. Prior to assuming his head-coaching role at Centenary, Johnson served as an assistant for the Gents under Billy Kennedy after gaining experience as an assistant at his alma mater, Texas-Pan American. As a student-athlete at Texas-Pan American, Johnson compiled 1,156 career points, which ranks 13th all-time in the Broncos record books. His senior campaign was his most notable statistical season as Johnson averaged 16.1 points per game, had a field-goal percentage of .492 and an astonishing .574 conversion rate from three-point land. His three-point field-goal percentage led the All-American South Conference and ranked seventh nationally. Johnson was named to the All-American South First Team in 1988 for all of his outstanding play. Following his distinguished career at Texas-Pan American, Johnson headed overseas to England where he played for the Liecester Riders. He spent one season with the Riders before accepting an assistant coaching position at Northwestern State in 1989. In 1990, he returned to England to become the head coach/player for the Oldham Celtics, and in 1992 he led the Celtics to a league championship with a 25-1 record. Johnson also averaged 33.0 points per game in Oldham's championship run. In 1993, Johnson returned to the States to become an assistant coach at Bryan High School in Bryan, Texas and rejoined the college ranks in 1996 as an assistant at Texas-Pan American. Johnson is a native of Morgan City, La., and prepped at Morgan City High School. He has two brothers in Rodney and Dave III - an All-American at Syracuse and a first-round NBA draft pick of the Portland Trailblazers in 1992. Johnson is the proud father of his daughter Ceara Brinelle, who will turn seven during the season. |
