BOULDER, Colo. -- Scott Johnson has officially resigned as the Head Coach of the USA Men’s National Team, giving USA Rugby his 90-day notice early this morning.

“It has been great having Scott with USA Rugby,” Chairman of USA Rugby’s Board of Directors, Kevin Roberts said. ‘We wish him all the best and thank him for his commitment to the game and helping to move the U.S. forward.”

Johnson has been working with the U.S. Men’s National Team since March 2008 and wants to continue to help USA Rugby in anyway he can.

“Significant strides have been made,” Johnson said. “We have a growing player pool eligible for Eagles selection. I want to see the U.S. Team successful and I will do anything I can to contribute to this success.”

USA Rugby’s CEO and President of Rugby Operations Nigel Melville is now tasked to find a replacement.

Further information will be announced shortly.
