O'Dea Fighting Irish Defensive Coordinator Reportedly Pursued by Rival Lincoln High
Sources close to the O'Dea Fighting Irish program indicate that defensive coordinator, Mike Johnson, is being courted by Lincoln High's coaching staff. Johnson, who has spent the past three seasons helping the Irish improve their defensive record, has reportedly been approached by Lincoln High's administration about taking the top defensive coaching position. If Johnson departs, O'Dea's program record could be impacted, particularly on defense. Last season, the Irish allowed an average of 14.5 points per game, a significant improvement from the previous year. Johnson's departure could also impact recruiting efforts, as he has been instrumental in attracting top defensive talent to the program. The WIAA has yet to confirm any coaching changes, but the situation is expected to be resolved soon.
