Curtis Johnson, Jr. (born November 5, 1961) is an American football coach who was most recently the wide receivers coach for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He was the head coach at Tulane University from 2012 to 2015, a position he assumed in December 2011 after six seasons coaching wide receivers for the New Orleans Saints.
After graduating from the University of Idaho, Johnson first became a wide receivers coach at Lewiston High School in Lewiston, Idaho before taking his first college assistant job for Idaho in 1987. In the series of assistant jobs that followed, Johnson developed a reputation as an outstanding recruiter as well as position coach. At San Diego State, he recruited future Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk (like him, a native New Orleanian), as well as wide receiver Darnay Scott. After San Diego State, Johnson spent single seasons at Southern Methodist University, and at the University of California (where he coached future All-American Bobby Shaw, among others), before taking a position at Miami in 1996.
Johnson spent the next decade at Miami. As part of a staff that went to nine bowl games and won the 2001 National Championship, Johnson coached Andre Johnson, Santana Moss, and Reggie Wayne. He was also credited with recruiting standout safety Ed Reed, another native New Orleanian.
