Ken Niumatalolo, think anybody gives this guy a chance? Has a pretty damn good record at Navy and still young.
Navy Head Coach

Heh I think he’s a good coach but Hell No to the Triple Option. I’d hate watching that every week. If we had a turnover or 2 and got behind it’d be over.
Nah. Nobody could pronounce his name. Of course, a sizable portion of our fanbase still think Dan's last name is "Mullens".
So, Geoff Collins, a first year coach with a crappy program, is kicking his ***.
Why don't we hire Collins? Don't be stupid. Navy sucks.

People ***** about State being hard to recruit to but could you imagine one of the armed forces schools? Where do you even start to tell a talented kid “hey you should join the Navy to play football.” He’s doing damn well with what he has available to him.
Anybody who attends a service academy really wants to go there, has to be very smart, and generally supports the military, and they want a good education. Football is secondary. It's not so much that they have a hard time finding people who want to go, it's finding qualified people who want to go there. To the best of my knowledge, they don't have any special (i.e., relaxed) entrance standards for athletes.
I think athletes these days are too big and fast for the triple option to be a consistent contender for a conference, much less national championship.
I think you're selling Johnson a little short. In his first 9 years at Georgia Tech, he won 4 division titles (including 1 ACC title), played in 8 bowl games, had 6 seasons above .500 in the conference and 2 more at .500, kicked our asses 3 times, etc.
This is his 10th year, and he's on track for another bowl and another season above .500 in the conference. Yeah, it's the ACC but I he's done really well there.

What’s asinine is suggesting hiring this guy. If you were gonna hire an option guy which is a really bad idea, you would hire Johnson. He taught this cat everything he knows.
Also, there isn’t a ginormous talent gap between Temple and Navy. 2017, 247 rankings show Navy at 88 and Temple at 119. Id imagine they both flop back and forth. Ain’t a whole lotta difference between the 75th ranked class and the 120th ranked class when you are getting up there.
Also, Navy is favored by 9 and getting crushed.

Didn’t watch tonight but just looking at the box score, they were 13/19 for 226 yds. Likely because Temple was shutting down their run game to the tune of 2.6yds per carry.
Navy’s coach isn’t going anywhere. He’s said he loves it at Navy and doesn’t want another job. He was very tempted to become BYU’s coach because of his strong Mormon faith and interviewed and was offered the job but declined it to stay at Navy. He looks to be there for the long haul.
