Raiders' Defensive Coordinator Reportedly Linked to Rival School
Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders' defensive coordinator, Tom Johnson, has been linked to a potential coaching vacancy at rival St. Thomas Academy Cadets. Johnson, who has been with the Raiders since 2018, has overseen a defensive unit that has consistently ranked in the top 10 in the Minnesota 5A classification. Under his guidance, the Raiders have compiled a 34-12 record over the past four seasons, including a 2022 state championship appearance. Johnson's departure would be a significant loss for the Raiders, particularly in recruiting circles, as he has been instrumental in securing top defensive talent from the Twin Cities area. The Raiders' program has consistently produced top defensive players, and Johnson's departure could impact their ability to attract top recruits in the future.
