#2. Navy & Coach Ken N & a loss to the mighty Hens of Delaware

That was always a ridiculous prospect. If PJ can’t win with the TO (he couldn’t anymore) nobody can.

It would be like the head of the EE department being unable to solve an electromagnetism problem, so you hire a second year undergraduate student and expect that they can.

I wonder if he regrets not jumping to a P5 program.

He had nine winning seasons in his first decade, including an 11-2 campaign that ended with a dominating bowl victory over an ACC team a season after a GT team finished 7th in the country running the TO. I bet he could have gotten a job at a pretty decent P5 schooll.

He was close to....ARI? IIRC? but the players there didn't want him or something. Who knows. ARI blows but so does Navy now.

He was going to Arizona before the players revolted
 
Think our ranking is bs. Thought the kids played hard and showed some heart. I do feel the coaching staff deserves some credit for this.
OL coach needs to go. Feel like the head coach is not head coach material. I think he could be successful as DC/Assistant head coach.

I agree. Certainly improvement in the front 4 on the DL, tackling, coverage and QB play. We will win 5 or 6 games this season.
 
Didn’t the blocking rules change because of us running the option?

So why would we go back to running a system that forces us to fight with one hand tied behind our back?

Also, CPJ was the best option guy alive. Anyother option guy like Monken would have been a significant downgrade.

Now, I wouldn’t mind hiring someone who runs a multiple offense (which includes many option principles)…like Friedgen did. But I don’t know who is out there who fits the bill. Goose? Bill O’Brien?

This happens every season. We have a reasonable quarter against someone and the “we’re putting it together” chants start and come with predictions of a bowl game. Then the same thing happens:

Beat Directional Carolina, beat Duke, a surprise win and we finish 3-9.

Except that Citadel and Northern Illinois have shown that the Directional Carolina isn’t a gimme.
 
Don’t think this ranking is on the players rather than the “coaching” head coach

I think our best bet is multiple, spread based offense but have you looked at what Monkens record at army is?

Yes I have. It’s pretty dang good for Army. But that’s what service academies are supposed to run. Although Jeff has a 4, a 2, and a 5 win season sprinkled in there. And they don’t play anyone noteworthy.

Army also has massive recruiting limitations. They don't play super tough schedules, but the acc has been down the last 3 years; we would've been smoked by army any time under Collins. They've also beaten ranked teams, and even took #5 Oklahoma to OT.

Yes, army has a few bad seasons in there too but they managed to bounce back. We're still can't get a 4th win in a season.
