The school finally reversed their decision and Coach Johnson is heading back to the field where he belongs. It has been a long and draining fight to get here but I am relieved we kept pushing for him. Please keep watching the program to ensure he receives the support he …

Coach Johnson served in the Navy from 1986 to 1994 ultimately obtaining an honorable discharge for his more than eight years in the military. Following his departure from the Navy, Johnson began to coach youth football in 1995 beginning with a legendary program, The San Leandro Crusaders. Johnson continued to coach at schools that include Castro Valley High School, Wilson Prep in Oakland, San Lorenzo High School, Arroyo High School and even Chabot College in Hayward. He also coached track and field, His commitment to the youth and their success was so strong he came out of retirement to come help guide students at Tennyson High School. Coach Johnson has been a mentor and a life coach to so many kids, it would be tragic if he was not allowed to return to the team. If you demand that Hayward Unified school District reinstate Oscar Johnson as our coach and valued mentor in our community please sign the petition.
Thank you and have a blessed day,
Coach John Pangelina

Coach Johnson is an old school coach that truly cares about the kids. What I find today is that the kids of today have no respect or discipline and sadly parents that condone their behavior. Now we have kids that want and need his guidance but have lost out.
Bring back the man who made me the DB I am today. Tough love is what he gives. But he knows the game like none other. Hes even help me develop into the coach I am today. Kids need this tough love.
MORE THAN JUST A COACH HES BEEN THERE THROUGH MY DOWNFALLS IN MY LIFE. HES THE MAN THAT DIDNT GIVE UP AND NEVER TURNED HIS BACK TO ME WHEN EVERYONE DID. HE GAVE ME MORE THAN ADVICE HE GAVE ME HOPE AND FAITH WHEN EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE WAS MEANINGLESS AND DARK. I APPRICIATE THIS MAN A LOT AND TIL TODAY I CANT THANK HIM ENOUGH. #BRINGMYCOACHBACK!
Best line coach that I’ve worked with in my three years on Varsity and nobody can replace the relation that me and all the boys that he’s coached have with him “Coach BBQ Johnson” bring him back
Not only is my dad a Great coach , But his a better teacher ! Not everyone has wisdom ,but this man has taught me so much on the Court and off the court and I never realized sports was just like life until my dad broke it down to me ! Let him help the youth!
This is my neighbor known him all my life his mother and my granny are friends no the hole family I'm not in to sports but I tell ya hes the coach you would want let him back in God bless
Great guy, I hate to see when a person pours their heart into something, and the thought of being a role model for the kids that is a positive influence; be taking away from something that serves as a purpose for our youth that has no guidance. We must keep structure and positive people around. IJS

Oscar has an unbelievable rapport with youth that transcends sports and lasts long after players no longer play he has helped change the course for many. I have coached her with him and seen him relate first hand his absence from a program is the students loss....Reinstate Oscar Johnson
