  <title><![CDATA[Johnson Steps Down as Georgia Tech Heach Coach]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><strong>Paul Johnson, </strong>a three-time Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year and Georgia Tech&rsquo;s winningest football coach in more than five decades, has elected to step down as the Yellow Jackets&rsquo; head coach, he announced on Wednesday.</p>

<p>&ldquo;After 40 years of coaching, it&rsquo;s time to take a break,&rdquo; Johnson said. &ldquo;My family has sacrificed a lot over the years. I want to watch my daughter [Kaitlyn, a professional opera singer] perform and do some things with my wife [Susan] that we&rsquo;ve never had a chance to do. It&rsquo;s been a great run for the last 11 years here on The Flats. I&rsquo;m proud of what we&rsquo;ve accomplished and am looking forward to having the chance to coach this team one last time at our bowl game next month.&rdquo;</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
