Cocoa Tigers Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
Cocoa, FL - The Cocoa Tigers have promoted assistant coach, Michael Johnson, to defensive coordinator after four seasons developing talent in the program. Johnson's elevation comes on the heels of a 6-5 record in 2025, marking the Tigers' second consecutive season with a winning record. As a 4A program, Cocoa competes in the FHSAA's largest classification, where recruiting and competitiveness are paramount. Johnson's experience and relationships within the program will be crucial in recruiting and preparing the Tigers for the upcoming season. With his promotion, Johnson will oversee the defense, a unit that allowed just 17 points per game last season. The move is seen as a positive step for the Tigers, who aim to build on their recent success and compete for a district title.
