Navy head coach Ken Niumatololo will not return for 2023

So Keenan Reynolds can be credited with making the entire offense work. Without high-level players the offense sucks and high-level players don't want to play in it.

Do you ever get tired of sucking off that boring high-school offense?

Which offense works well without a solid QB? How'd that work for Chan?

Was Justin Thomas high level? Would Ratliffe have been high level?

Offenses with avg/below-avg QBs can work well when paired with a solid defense. The examples are numerous.
 
Unless I'm mistaken . . .

Air Force runs the 3O.

Army runs the 3O.

So is it somehow a different thing and a problem that Navy has run the 3O?

If not why are folks here even discussing it? I mean, except for the enormous residual butthurt that some of you still have that CPJ (who has been gone now for four years) ran the 3O "Mickey Mouse / high school" offense here successfully for so many years, and which your dwag-loving friends, co-workers, fellow church goers, and neighbors teased you about for years. CPJ's not coming back here. AFAIK, CBK has no intention of running the 3O here. The 3O isn't coming back here - probably ever. Get over it and move on.

There is some truth in that. But when you have defensive linemen standing in your own offensive backfield all day long, the scheme will not matter. You are toast.

You'd think most of us saw enough of this to already know that but clearly that's not the case.

Since some people like to say option QBs are not real QBs, the TO is arguably the only offense that does work without a solid qb.

Well, Calvin Booker was indeed undefeated as a starter running the TO.

Wow! Calvin Booker... I was trying to remember his name the other day. Thanks for reminding me. What game was it that he started? Citadel?

2008, Gardner Webb. If I remember correctly, both Nesbitt and Jaybo Shaw were out, we were down and the game was in question when Booker hit Dwyer for a 79-yard catch and run that was enough for the 10-7 victory.

By contrast the Citadel was the 2019 foreshadowing of the albatross we had only just begun to know.
 
Yes, Gardener Webb. Thanks. I just remember that we barely pulled it out, by the skin of our teeth!

I confess that I still love the veer, wishbone, triple option offenses. Fun to watch the blocking and plays unfold. That is one of the reasons that I was torn between CBK and Chadwell. I still think that if CPJ could have or would have recruited better, especially linemen, we could have been top 25 every year. But that ship has sailed, and I'm ready for whatever CBK and CBF are going to do.

Qbs do more than pass the ball forward across the line of scrimmage. Semantics aside, the offense fails without a good QB

Special teams also blocked a kick to save our ass at the end of the game. Booker was not an option qb, but stuck around after the CPJ hire. That game he was a round peg trying get through a square hole.

It wasn’t just UCF - the entire AAC had that on their jerseys.

I get the attempted branding, but “Power 5” and “Group of 5” are officially defined in the College Football Playoff rules (different qualification requirements for the G5 than the P5). You can’t just change that.

Think about how tough it is to recruit these guys. Not even the TO, but what football players want to play at a place where their only exit is armed forces, forced military schooling, etc. They would rather play for high level FCS schools.

On the other hand, Naval Academy graduates make more money than pretty much anyone outside of the Ivy League from what I've heard.
