In 1985, Johnson was a part-time assistant coach at Army, tutoring the fullbacks. From 1986 to 1988, Johnson served as running backs coach for Rutgers. From 1989 to 1991, Johnson was the offensive coordinator at Virginia Military Institute.

Under Johnson’s guidance, Ponder threw for 1,853 yards and 13 touchdowns in 11 games. Ponder also finished the season with eight touchdown passes and only one interception in the red zone, where he had a league-leading 114.3 passer rating. In 2014, Johnson became the running backs coach for the New York Giants.[3] Johnson welcomed two backfield newcomers, Rashad Jennings and rookie Andre Williams, who helped the team average 100.3 rushing yards a game in 2014. In 2015, the Giants welcomed newcomer Shane Vereen to the backfield. Vereen was second on the team in rushing (260 yards on 61 carries), and receiving (59 catches for 494 yards and four touchdowns). The three receiving totals were all career highs. Jennings led the Giants in all three major rushing categories with 195 carries for 863 yards (both career-high totals), and three touchdowns in 2015.
