The San Antonio Spurs have officially appointed Mitch Johnson as the new head coach. The announcement was made on May 2, 2025, following the decision by the organization to remove the interim tag and make Johnson the permanent successor to Gregg Popovich.

Mitch Johnson previously served as the interim head coach for the majority of the season after Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke in November. Since taking over, Johnson has garnered significant support from within the organization due to his commendable performance as interim head coach.

Johnson’s promotion marks the end of Gregg Popovich’s tenure as head coach, though Popovich will remain involved with the team in a front-office capacity. Popovich, who coached the Spurs for 29 seasons, is widely regarded as one of the most successful coaches in NBA history, having led the team to five NBA championships.

Mitch Johnson’s coaching journey began as an assistant coach for the Austin Spurs, the NBA G League affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs. He was later promoted to the coaching staff of the San Antonio Spurs, working under Gregg Popovich. Johnson, a former Stanford Cardinal player, is known for his strategic approach and player development skills.

The San Antonio Spurs made the official announcement of Johnson’s appointment in a statement, expressing confidence in his ability to lead the team. The decision was met with a positive response from players and staff, who have praised Johnson’s leadership and coaching abilities.

Johnson’s appointment comes as the Spurs look to build on their existing roster and maintain their competitive edge in the league. The team will focus on player development and strategic gameplay under Johnson’s leadership.

As he transitions into his new role, Mitch Johnson aims to uphold the legacy established by Gregg Popovich. Johnson has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and his commitment to leading the Spurs to further success.

The San Antonio Spurs have a history of promoting within their ranks, and Johnson’s appointment reflects the team’s confidence in his capabilities. The organization values continuity and sees Johnson as an ideal fit to continue the team’s culture and philosophy.

Mitch Johnson’s coaching style is expected to emphasize teamwork, discipline, and a strong defensive strategy. These elements have been hallmarks of the Spurs’ success under Popovich, and Johnson aims to uphold these values while bringing his own approach to the team.

The Spurs organization appreciates Popovich’s contributions and leadership over the years. His influence on the team’s culture and success has been profound, and the transition to Johnson marks a new chapter for the franchise.

The NBA community has reacted positively to Johnson’s appointment, acknowledging his potential as a head coach. Observers are eager to see how Johnson will shape the team’s future and continue the legacy of excellence associated with the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs’ decision to promote Mitch Johnson reflects a commitment to maintaining the team’s core values and competitive spirit. Johnson’s previous experience with the team and his familiarity with its players provide a solid foundation for his role as head coach.

As the new head coach, Mitch Johnson will lead the Spurs in preparing for the upcoming NBA season. The team will focus on developing its young talent and refining its strategies to compete at the highest level.

With the appointment of Mitch Johnson, the San Antonio Spurs enter a new era of leadership while remaining grounded in their successful traditions. The organization, its fans, and the NBA community are optimistic about the team’s future under Johnson’s guidance.
