Mount Carmel's Defensive Coordinator Reportedly Linked to Rival Brother Rice
A source close to the situation has revealed that Mount Carmel's defensive coordinator, Mike Johnson, may be leaving the Caravan after three seasons to join Brother Rice's coaching staff. Johnson, a key architect of Mount Carmel's 2019 IHSA Class 8A state championship run, has compiled a 22-10 record during his tenure. His departure would be a significant blow to the Caravan's defensive unit, which was ranked among the top 10 in the state last season. Johnson's recruiting impact has been substantial, with several high-profile defensive prospects committing to Mount Carmel during his tenure. If he departs, it could be a major recruiting coup for Brother Rice, which has been seeking to bolster its defense.
