In addition to his coaching endeavors, Johnson also has pursued his doctorate degree in biomechanics while at Mississippi State.

His resume also includes one season as the pitching coach at UTEP and one season in a similar role at Louisiana-Lafayette. He also previously spent three seasons as head coach at Faulkner State Community College and spent more than a decade as a men’s fastpitch player.
