Stonewall Jackson High School head football coach Loren Johnson submitted his resignation Friday afternoon.
Johnson, who has coached the Raiders for five years, said he did not have another job lined up yet.
Johnson said he is considering coaching opportunities in the college and high school football ranks as well as in an academic or corporate setting.
Johnson said he has interviewed for jobs, but has not been offered anything. He would not specify what jobs he had interviewed for.
Johnson, 30, said he hopes to have a better idea what his next move will be after this weekend.
"A lot of things were wearing on me, but it was nothing I could put my hand on," Johnson said. "This is a good administration, but something was missing and I need to find out what that is."
In five years, Johnson led the Raiders to a 25-27 record.
He was the Potomac News & Manassas Journal Messenger’s Football Coach of the Year following the 2004 season after leading the Raiders to the playoffs.
The year before, his first at the helm, Stonewall went 2-8. In 2004, the Raiders went 9-3 and advanced to the Group AAA, Division 6 Northwest Region final.
This past season, Stonewall went 4-6. The Raiders began the season 3-1, but they struggled the rest of the season following injuries to standout running backs Ryan Williams and Damien Thigpen.
