Not if his agent says he isn't interested.

he wouldnt be interested in a pay raise?

Perhaps not. Would you be interested in a pay raise to move to Baghdad?

Stallion wrote:Navy Fans,

As of 3:25 p.m. EST today (Sunday), no officials have contacted Navy for permission to speak with Coach Johnson. There is a 8:30 p.m. conference call planned tonight for the Poinsettia Bowl. I'm sure the question will come up and I will try to listen in on the call. If I am unable to get away from the home duties, I will be talking to Coach Johnson in the next few days as his schedule permits.

As always if you have a question that you would like me to ask the Coach, send me an email at [email protected] and I'll do my best to get it in. Don't put the question here because then I can't take credit for it.

I usually like to start my conversations with Coach off with an update on how many "Hand's Off Our Johnson" shirts we have sold. I can't believe that I have to tell him that there are still some remaining! Ok, I don't really

Stallion, why would Orsini have to get permission from Navy officials to speak with Johnson? If he is our man, the talking has been done. All this contacting school officials to get permission is when two people don't know each other like Orsini and Johnson do. They probably talk once a month just as friends. I wish all of you will be a little bit more realistic about the hiring crap. Every HC that Orsini knows are more than likely his friends. Ask yourself this, how many times a month do you call your friends? This is not rocket science people. We are making it way more complicated than what it is. We either have a coach who will be named whenever, or we will get the scraps that will be left over after everybody has hired a HC.

So what if two individuals are friend?

Who policies the indirect contact? For example: Johnson calls Orsini when he gets the SMU job. It goes like this, hey Steve, this is Paul, congrats on the new position, I know you willl make SMU proud. Stevie O says, hey I may need a HC here in a couple of years, this guy PB is not my kind of guy. What do you think? Paul replies, hey anything for you buddy. I owe my position here a Navy to you and I have done about as much as I can here. Stevie O says, hey give me a couple of years, this President is a pretty tough cookie, you know with all this DP [deleted]. We have a pretty good nuecleus of players here. PJ says, call me when you need me.

And we all sang, "Thats what friends are for."

Leak about Johnson, and KABOOM, the whole world thinks he's ours for 36 hours.

Get the other party to listen up.

Bingo - and we're the last school that can afford to sidestep NCAA rules in football.

Actually not a bad theory. Hope you're right.

This would be a good time for Samurai Stang to post about the art of war and deception.
