BCS Openings and Paul Johnson

[Hoop Fan]

I don't know, maybe you know you have done all you can do at Navy, and can only go down from there if you stay. I am sure that Johnson is confident in his abilities to turn us around, but so was Phil Bennett.

Yeah, but if you are right and SMU want's to be "special".. he could probably wait it out and get a job with some state school where recruiting and getting Juco transfers is easier. He's a hot name right now. Maybe he wouldn't get a BCS job, but he could get the job at some place like Houston..

maybe Johnson thinks he relates to a certain type of kid. That seems to be what the Navy Fan suggested. SMU wants similar kids according to all the evidence. No dirty juco types or only a very limited few here and there.

But PJ has been and is a successful head coach. And he has already won championships at one level and has turned a program around at another. Something PB hadn't done before taking the smu job.

So you think Johnson would move from Maryland to Texas for a job where the money was the same, his chance for national recognition would be same or less over going to a school with easier recruiting and more recognition because he thinks he's done all he can at Navy, but he likes dealing with only a certain quality of athlete... hmm ok

Still waiting for support of the infamous claim that Paul Johnson isn't energetic and lacks charisma. Or can I just assume that was hyperbole? Check that-made up?

I hear he has a show at the Comedy Club in Baltimore this weekend
