OGDEN — Lyndon Johnson stepped down as Ben Lomond’s head football coach following an 0-10 finish to his sixth season with the team. Ogden School District made the position publicly available Monday morning via its official website following Johnson’s resignation.

Johnson told the Standard-Examiner he plans to continue teaching at Ben Lomond and build a youth sports program focusing on the district’s junior high athletes.

A string of issues marred the Scots’ winless finish to the season, ending with a 56-8 loss at Ogden in the annual Iron Horse game. Johnson informed his team that he’d be stepping down following the loss to Ogden.

“It was very difficult season,” Johnson said. “It was probably, in the 30 years I’ve coached, the most difficult not just because of wins and losses, (but) just because of a lot of things that we’re dealing with on and off the field.”

Johnson’s tenure at BL closes at 14-51 a year separated from the program’s first winning season since 2000.

An Ogden native, Johnson previously spent 15 years as a head boys basketball coach at Roy, Brighton and Northridge high schools before following his father Ralph’s footsteps in 2019 to lead the football program at Ben Lomond.
