hopefully this turns out opposite the Calipari situation

^^yes, obviously I paid attention to the bball coach search but Johnson has expressed interest in our job and I don't think that Johnson would be using us to make more money at the Naval Academy

i just thought I would post what I had read; I told you to take it for what it is worth and I don't care if you criticize it

all i said was that this guy had been right before and i thought that people would like to read it. esp. the part about being an aerial team, thought it would ease some concerns of the people on here who thought we would do a fb dive every play

Do you know him personally? What an asinine comment to make.

i'm saying he already makes over a million a year there to coach football; could he really get that much more out of them?

and he has gone on record many times as saying he wouldn't leave the Naval Academy until he found the right job for him; he has stated that he just wouldn't go anywhere to get to coach big-time college football

my dog barks when they mention his name on tv. that is undeniable proof that he will be our next coach.

His family lives in NC.

His wife is from Shelby

I think he went to Western Carolina and has a masters from App

I know this sounds Barnes-ish, but maybe that will work in our favor

Navy has deep pockets when it comes to sports. Grads like to give wheelbarrows of money to the school. All sporting complexes and teams are funded through NAAA, a private non-profit organization, not through taxpayer dollars. My guess is Navy could easily afford $2M a year for PJ. Hell, they usually make over $1M a year on bowl games alone with all the extra tickets the school sells.
