Mitch Johnson, who took over for Popovich in November will replace the five-time champion as head coach in San Antonio. The post Gregg Popovich Steps Down As Spurs Head Coach appeared first on Stadium Rant.

Gregg Popovich spoke publicly Monday for the first time since suffering a stroke six months ago, saying at the news conference where the San Antonio Spurs formally introduced Mitch Johnson as his replacement that the time was right to make that move.
