Could former Baldwin Park great and once UCLA interim coach Mike Johnson take over at Diamond Bar?

Could Mike Johnson, who starred at quarterback for Baldwin Park in the 1980s, was an offensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers and UCLA assistant coach with Rick Neuheisal, become the head coach at Diamond Bar? Johnson, who became the interim head coach at UCLA when Neuheisal was fired, apparently contacted Diamond Bar athletic director Kurt Davies about the position, Davies confirmed. Johnson, who was not retained by UCLA when Jim Mora was hired in 2012, still lives in the Bay area. The dilemma for Diamond Bar officials is that Johnson might not be interested in teaching, and would need to be compensated in other ways, probably through camps and other incentives, according to sources. What Diamond Bar needs to consider is do you hire a big-name like Johnson and run with it, or do you go another direction worrying that he could leave after a brief stay?
