the great Paul Johnson Wishbone today got 146 Total yards. 95 yards rushing and 9 First Downs. This same type of scenario has gone on game after game. I still think the offensive genuis of Paul Johnson vaunted wishbone at a BCS level conference is in question. Congratulations to the Defensive ...

Actually that was kind of my point. Blew an 18-point lead to Southern, not a very good team. There goes confidence for next two games
Alabama STate (who wound up in NIT) and Centenary (who Beat Texas Tech last year). And the later loss to Stephen F. Austin who won at Oklahoma last year and wound up ...

I actually think Doherty made a scheduling mistake last year. I know what he was trying to do: Really young team so you schedule lots of mid-majors in order to get confidence for the young ones. Problem is that mid-majors these days often beat bigger name schools in regular season and tourney. And ...

Good news for Duke: Johnson obviously did not get the Nebraska job.

Bad news for Duke: Georgia Tech, and perhaps others, have joined Duke and SMU in scheduling a meeting with Johnson this week.

I think schools (or their search firms) draw up formal proposals with the agent to be presented (for approval or not) to the coach. I presume Johnson will now decide whether to accept SMU's offer




"It appears Johnson will find out today what deals are on the table. The Capital has learned ...

The problem at Duke is that the admission requirements for fball players are significantly higher than for basketball. Bball team can admit players who meet NCAA minimum; football has a much higher threshold. The head fb coach complained about this 3 years ago and was quickly fired.

Navy came into this game #1 in nation in rushing (350 ypg) and Top 20 in offense (450 or so ypg). Having their worst offensive performance of the year today but still winning 38-3. That is good coaching. They are a machine.

For a variety of reasons, I think his GSouthern tenure is even more relevant than his Navy years.

"Johnson came to Navy from Georgia Southern, where he posted a 62-10 (.861) record, won two-straight I-AA National Championships (1999 and 2000), five-straight Southern Conference Championships and ...

Actually Navy's defense has been pretty good until this year. After 2006, They lost most of their starters to graduation and had several killer injuries earlier this year. So I think this year may be an aberration The DC is Buddy Green, who is pretty well regarded (once served as DC at NC State
