Earlier in the spring, the Oregon Ducks football team got a big scare when Don Johnson, the director of player personnel, suffered a medical emergency that landed him in the hospital.
Not much information about the situation has been reported publicly, but head coach Dan Lanning asked for support from the Oregon community, and an outpouring of thoughts and love for the coach came from social media, where fans offered strong words for the Ducks’ coach who is imperative to the football team.
A bit of good news was shared on Monday night, when Keenan Speer-Johnson, the son of Don Johnson, offered an update on the situation and said that they were “cautiously optimistic.”
I would like thank everyone for the countless prayers for my dad @CoachDonJ we are cautiously optimistic as he progresses through his rehabilitation…your continuous prayers are appreciated🙏🏽

At this point, it is unclear what Johnson’s future as a coach are, but we are focused solely on his well-being at the moment and hoping that he can get back to good health.
