Johnnie Harris (born November 8, 1966) is the current head coach of the Auburn Tigers women's basketball team. Previously she coached for Arkansas, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and the University of Texas. While at Mississippi State, she served as the Associate Head Coach under Vic Schaefer. She was known for helping with the recruitment of high-profile players like Teaira McCowan and Victoria Vivians. Mississippi State advanced to back-to-back National Championship Games in 2017 and 2018, losing to South Carolina in the former and Notre Dame in the latter. The Bulldogs also won SEC titles in 2018 and 2019. Following Vic Schaefer's departure in 2020 to take the vacant Texas job, Johnnie Harris followed him and remained his Associate Head Coach until her hiring by Auburn in 2021.[1]
