NASHUA It appears Bishop Guertin athletic director Tony Johnson will be leaving the school at the end of the academic year to return to coaching full time.

Calls to Johnson on Monday were not returned. Guertin is closed wholesale nhl jerseys this week for school vacation.

Johnson seemed cemented at Cheap Jerseys From China the school as athletic director and head football coach until last May, when in a surprise and, it seemed, somewhat reluctant move, he stepped down as the Cardinals' football coach after winning six Division II titles in seven years. A BG alum, he had been running the Cards football program since 1994, but both he and Guertin officials explained the move as a way for Johnson to focus on his athletic director duties. In fact, school officials reminded that when Johnson was hired as AD in 2007 he was reportedly told he would have had to eventually give up his football duties; he had already given up girls track.

But then, in August, Johnson was hired as the outside linebackers coach at St. Anselm College. However, as he explained, Guertin gave him permission to coach at St. A's as long as it wouldn't interfere with his AD duties, and the two positions seemed compatible.

But it was a sign Johnson had not lost his love for coaching, and it seemed cheap nhl jerseys only a matter of time before he would end up as a head coach somewhere. When BG Superintendent Bro. Mark Hilton was asked last May about that possibility, he said, "That's a decision Tony would have to make, but we know that Tony will be the first to say he bleeds Green and Gold."

Johnson certainly put his cheap nike jerseys stamp on BG's football program (10 championship game appearances and six titles), then put it on the entire athletic program as AD. Most of his coaching hires were successful even his football successor, Travis Cote, guided the Cards to their fourth straight Division II title last fall.

Also, coaches Jim Migneault (2011) and Scott Hazelton (this past March) guided the Cards to boys and girls basketball titles. The Guertin lacrosse program has become a regional power and baseball coach Scott Painter guided BG to a surprising 12 6 top four Division I regular season finish a year ago. Also, Johnson has been a statewide advocate of girls ice hockey and the Guertin program under head coach Myia Yates has been in the state finals, semifinals and quarterfinals respectively the last three seasons.

Worcester Academy is a day and boarding prep school that competes in the New England Prep School Athletic Conference cheap nhl jerseys from china (NEPSAC). The Hilltoppers former coach, David Dykeman, reportedly left after going 4 3 in 2011 to take over as head coach at Cheshire (Conn.) Academy.

As BG prepares to seek a new AD, a capable replacement may be already on staff. Johnson has been assisted by Steve Duprat the last wholesale nike jerseys few years. Duprat, among other things, has handled a lot of the game day logistics.
