Johnson Suspended
Penguin Nation:
He assaulted a visiting student-athlete...documented on camera...and wasn’t immediately terminated? I’m not sure why he wasn’t arrested and criminally charged.

The fact that he has a university job is amazing to me too. WTF do we stand for? Remember the old days when all the MVFC players met at midfield before the game as a sign of sportsmanship? Maybe it was COVID that stopped it, or maybe guys like Johnson were going out armed?

When I think of "assault" Woody Hayes comes to mind. What TJ did was wrong but it does not fit assault, he did not charge the player. Again not happy with what he did, does not reflect well for YSU, but not so sure that he should lose his job over it.
I am ok with him getting a second chance and hope that he will be a better person for it.
Was his penalty dictated only by YSU or was the league involved? I guess that would dictate if the matter is closed or not.

WHAT?!?!? He intentionally tripped a player running out a play clearly out of bounds. This was an incredible cheap shot obviously intended to injure an opposing player. Next, should we say, the teacher only grabbed her ass once and so he deserves another chance? She old took a bribe for a higher grade once so she deserves another chance? Don't we have any standards!! Woody nearly got run over and just swung, this clown lined up his foot 5 yards out and know exactly what he was planning. To me Johnson was worse! I'm embarrassed he is still employed and a school I though had courage, leadership and principles.

Hold on! Not saying what happened was right or wrong but watch the replay again. Right at the last second a YSU player shoved him late when he is already out of bounds towards Johnson. He wasn’t expecting that and couldn’t get out of his way. Did he defend himself against the hit or purposely go after the player? I Don’t think he did it on purpose. I was there and it happened so fast that it was hard to tell in live motion. But for all intents and purposes it is over and done. He got his punishment. You may not agree with it the punishment but we don’t have that say. Only those who spoke to him and heard from the coach make that call.
Go Guins.
