Head Coach
Johnny Cox - Head Football Coach
Johnny Cox, one of the FLC football program's all-time greats, embarks on his third season at the helm of Skyhawks football in 2024. Hired as the 16th head coach in program history, Cox made his return to Durango on Jan. 10, 2022, to rebuild his alma mater back into a quality program within the daunting Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
In his second season with Fort Lewis, the Skyhawks improved in various statistical categories across the board including rushing yards per game (+21.7), passing yards per game (+52.31), total offense (+74.1), posted six games with 300+ yards of total offense for the first time since 2016, and scored the most points in a single season since 2018 with 146.
Cox coached two-year Skyhawks quarterback Braden Wingle to one of the most statistically significant careers at Fort Lewis as Wingle hangs up his cleats ranking eighth all-time in career passing yards (3,724), first in average yards per pass (9.7), second in career completion percentage (59.5%), sixth in completions (384), and seventh in attempts (645).
Last season, Fort Lewis saw junior punter Hunter Villavicencio capture Second-Team All-National Football Foundation Colorado Chapter honors: he's the first to secure any such honor since 2018. Villavicenio was also named Second-Team All-RMAC while Peyton Monson (WR) and Jacob Lacroix (OL) each earned All-RMAC honorable mention. In addition, nine Skyhawks were tabbed with RMAC Academic Honor Roll nods while Julio Romo (OL) and Tristen Williams (LB) were named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team.
In 2022, Fort Lewis improved its total offense by 42.9 yards per game under the direction of Cox and his new coaching staff's offensive scheme. Most notably, Max Hyson - a First-Team Academic All-RMAC selection - was named the NFFCC All-Colorado Scholar-Athlete of the Year over Colorado football athletes across the Division I and Division II landscape including 2022 Harlon Hill Award Winner John Matocha from Colorado School of Mines.
17 additional Skyhawks earned Academic All-Colorado honors in 2022 alongside Hyson. Fort Lewis also captured three All-RMAC Honorable Mentions through the regular season including Ryan Barkley (OL), Dylan Holt (WR), and Zach Russell (TE). Three additional Skyhawks were named to the RMAC Academic Honor Roll: Barkley, Tristen Williams (LB), and Matthew Waid (P).
A 28-year coaching veteran, Cox is a 1994 graduate and two-time All-American at FLC. He rejoins the Skyhawks after spending eight seasons at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke; a NCAA Division II program competing in the Mountain East Conference.
Inducted into the FLC Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999, Cox was a four-year star for FLC at the wide receiver position from 1990-93. Cox earned First Team All-American honors in 1992 and 1993 while being named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Player of the Year for the 1993 season.
Cox still owns FLC school records in receiving yards (3,611) and receiving touchdowns (33), while his 220 career catches are the second most in program history. His dominance on the field made him a two-time finalist for the Harlan Hill Trophy, which is awarded to the best player in NCAA Division II football.
He'd continue his playing career in 1994-95 when he was invited to training camp with the Green Bay Packers in 1994. Cox also played one season with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League in 1995.
It was during that time when Cox also got his coaching career off the ground as he served as the defensive backs coach at FLC in 1994. After earning his master's degree and serving as a graduate assistant at the University of Texas from 1997-99, Cox returned to FLC to serve as the offensive coordinator in 1999 and interim head coach in 2000.
Following a four-year stint as an assistant coach at North Dakota State, Cox served four seasons (2000-03) as head coach at Rex Putnam High School in Milwaukie, Oregon before making his return to the college ranks as special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach at Holy Cross for the 2007 season.
Cox made his NFL coaching debut as a part of former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin's defensive staff (quality control) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2008 season. He also spent time as both the wide receivers and offensive quality control coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars under defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio's staff from 2009-11.
Following a two-year stop at North Carolina A&T as the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, Cox began his time at UNC Pembroke in 2014 as the offensive coordinator and, most recently, as the Braves' associate head coach.
The Braves made tremendous strides during Cox's tenure, going from a 2-8 overall record in 2014 to posting a record of 10-2 overall in 2016. UNCP set school records in wins, was ranked as high as No. 12 in the country, and won the program's first-ever playoff game that season en route to reaching the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
