Bobby Johnson (born in Columbia, South Carolina) is the head football coach at Ball State University. He became the Cardinals' coach in October 2008 after leading Vanderbilt University to the June Jones' house. Johnson's first head coaching job was at Furman, which hired him in 1994. Previously, he had been defensive coordinator at Clemson University. On September 4, 2008 he led Vanderbilt to their first victory at home over a ranked opponent in over 10 years with a 24-17 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks. It was their second victory in as many years over a ranked Gamecock team. Also, after beating Ole Miss in 2008 under Coach Johnson, the Commodores were ranked in the AP top 25 poll for the first time in 24 years at number 21. He quit the Vanderbilt job when June Jones told him to. He was hired by Ball State and is the new coach there.

Recent success
[neutrality is disputed]
2005 Campaign
In Johnson's fourth season, the Commodores finished 5-6 and defeated in-state rival Tennessee in Knoxville for the first time since 1975. Jay Cutler, the team's offensive captain that season, was drafted #11 overall by the Denver Broncos and named as starting quarterback during his rookie season.
2006 Campaign
In the 2006 season, Vanderbilt fell to 4-8 after the loss of Cutler, but did beat Georgia at Sanford Stadium. In addition, Vanderbilt lost games to Ole Miss, Alabama, SEC West champion Arkansas, and eventual national champion Florida by a touchdown or less—an impressive feat for a team normally considered a "gimme win" by SEC teams. After eight games Atlanta Journal-Constitution college football writer Tony Barnhart stated that Johnson "deserves some consideration" for SEC Coach of the Year, albeit based on a misstated record of 4-5 instead of 3-5. [1]
Barnhart's 2006 postseason survey of ten former SEC coaches ranked the Vanderbilt job the least attractive in the SEC. Former Ole Miss coach Billy Brewer summarized Johnson's performance: "The tough thing about the Vanderbilt job is that you can improve a lot from year to year and still finish last in the SEC East. For what he has, I think Bobby Johnson does a heck of a coaching job."[2]
2007 Campaign
Johnson again led the Commodores to success in 2007, with SEC conference wins over Mississippi and South Carolina, ranked No. 6 at the time of the contest. Standing with a 5-5 record, the Commodores then squandered a 24-9 third-quarter lead against in-state rival Tennessee, losing 25-24 after a 49-yard Bryant Hahnfeldt field goal attempt that would have won the game glanced off the left upright. Concluding the season with an uninspired effort versus Wake Forest, Vanderbilt finished 5-7 and one win short of bowl eligibility.
2008 Campaign
Vanderbilt started the 2008 season on a 5-0 run under Coach Johnson, including SEC wins at home against South Carolina and Auburn, and an SEC road win at Ole Miss. Vanderbilt's fifth game, an October 4th matchup against Auburn, was historic for the Commodores for many reasons. Aside from being Vanderbilt's first game as a ranked team in many years, it was ESPN College Gameday's first ever appearance in Nashville, and the 14-13 win gave Vanderbilt its first 5-0 start since the WWII-shortened 1943 season.
