so if the reason he has been successful is that he stores kids at a prep school, how come other head coaches at Navy have not had his success?

I know this about Paul Johnson, In 1999 he meet one Jim Tressell on the football field for the d1-aa championship and lead Ga.Southern to a 59-24 win. I watched that game and PJ outcoached Jim Tressell like no other coach i've seen. I think you put Paul Johnson's offense in at SMU with Justin Willis and the runningbacks you guys have it would be a huge success.

Navy Defensive Statistics
39.5 Points Per Game
6.3 yards Per Play
458 Yards per Game
And consider this is with a running offense that keeps the clock moving w/o incompletions. Given up almost 60 to a Division 1AA team-gave up 62 to NTSU. YIPEE!!!!!!!!!

before this year they've played pretty good defense at Navy, You guys have to remember he only bought back 1 starter from last seasons unit.

He's my favorite coach in the entire search. Guy is a winner and his offense is basically unstoppable. He's not just a run guy

his offensive scoring and "tricks" remind me of playing the late 80's editions of Tecmo Bowl.

The irony of this hire, if it happens?
Remember Phil Bennett's first game at SMU, when the infamous "fireworks malfunction" occurred, followed by a 38-7 loss to then worst-team-in-the-nation Navy?
The opposing coach for the Midshipmen, on his way to a 2-10 campaign, was PAUL JOHNSON.

and after that year I would say Navy's fortunes went in a bit different direction from SMU's...

Some of you don't want Johnson? Are you for real!?!? He can out coach anyone in C-USA! My god if SMU fans are really this damn dumb it's no wonder your Football Progam is in the shape it's in!! If ya'll get Johnson SMU will be in it's first bowl game in 20 some years next season bank on it!!!
