Josh Johnson was hired as an assistant coach for the nationally ranked Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns softball program in August 2012.
Johnson previously completed a three-year stint (2010-12) as head coach at Faulkner State Community College in Bay Minette, Ala., where his 119-60 career record made him the winningest coach in program history.
His Sun Chiefs players would earn 14 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-America honors, while breaking every team and individual batting, base running and pitching record on the books. His teams posted the two highest finishes in program history, including the school’s first state championship appearance.
Johnson, who started his fastpitch softball career in 1995, has been playing at the Major level of the North American Fastpitch Association (NAFA) since 2004 as both a pitcher and an outfielder.

As a student-athlete, Johnson was a four-year letterwinner and 1998 First Team All-Conference selection in baseball at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he earned his bachelor’s in psychology in 2000 and his master’s in Applied Psychology in 2003. Johnson also earned letters in cross country and track and field at Wisconsin-Stout, finishing his athletics career as the only 14-time varsity letterwinner in school history. He continues to hold the Blue Devils’ program record in the indoor 1,000m run, at 2:31.92.
