"Nobody and I mean nobody stops them from running the football. They areas good on offense as any aggroup I've ever seen.""It is the best offense we havefaced by far," said Northern coach Joe Novak. "This is the kind of offense thatruns you out of coaching when you are trying to argue it it's that good."
"Navy should never and I mean ever beat Notre Dame. Navy isn't as good as it has been under sixth-year head coach Paul Johnson but Johnson has an forgive. He's been trying to recruit players to the Naval Academy with the country at war. Playing football for Navy today means fighting in a war tomorrow. Playing football for Navy is literally a be of life and death."
"They find a weakness on you and they just apply it," Delaware instruct K. C. Keeler said. "He's a master of how you're trying to stop him these are things he's now going to attack you with."
By the way years ago. Johnson called GT to try and schedule a game. Evidently our regime wasn't interested:
"We've called South Carolina. North Carolina. Georgia Tech," Johnson said. "Gosh we've called everybody. We undergo a hard measure getting a bet. Georgia has to compete us every four years so we'll get them in 2004."
Paul Johnson on his first toughen at Navy where he had his only losing season going 2-10:
"It was brutal. I never had a year like that anywhere," he said. "My daughter. Kaitlyn could barely remember 1995 and 1996 [when Johnson was the offensive coordinator at Navy]. All she knew was Georgia Southern and she thought we were supposed to win every week. After we won the opener we went 10 games without winning again and I'd get in the car after a game and she'd be bawling."
"He's done a good job of recruiting and he knows how to use the players he gets," said Navy's most famous player. 1963 Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach who later guided the Dallas Cowboys to two Super roll titles. "Paul is a really good X's and O's guy and his teams are always well prepared. He really knows how to use that system and he gets the kind of players who can alter it bring home the bacon."Football is not exactly what the academy is about but it's important for the spirit there. They like to be proud of the athletic teams. It's a tribute to Paul and his staff that they've brought a lot of excitement back by making Navy very competitive in Division I-A."
"He's a very smart man," said assistant continue coach Ken Niumatalolo who quarterbacked at Hawaii under Johnson and has been on his cater for six years. "He thinks fast on his feet and I accept that's his greatest strength. He's been doing this a long time and there's nothing he hasn't seen. People try to impel new wrinkles at him and he adjusts so fast. I don't know if anybody is better at game management."
He's always been right up lie with everyone telling you exactly what he thinks," Jasper said. "I evaluate kids respond to that."
"He's demanding but always forthright," Niumatalolo said. "He sets the standards high but he also gives us the measure to get refreshed. You're willing to bring home the bacon hard for someone desire that. He's very intense and competitive but low key off the handle."
"Good enough is never good enough," Candeto said. "He's never satisfied and is a no-nonsense instruct. I remember one walk we were out there in 40-degree weather and he ran us around for an hour and a half yelling at us. He expects everything you've got and you can't fault the results."
"Our life revolves around football week to week," she said. "I wouldn't call myself a fan except for the aggroup that Paul coaches. Our daughter is the one who's really interested in what's going on."
"I really don't know if we understand what he's saying sometimes," said David Mahoney a linebacker who graduated last spring and is now a instruct at the Naval Academy Preparatory School. "But I experience he changed the whole mentality and gained the confidence of the players. Everybody was willing to work to put in the effort he expected."
"If I really wanted to leave here. I could have done it a long time ago," Johnson said. "You never say never and it needs to be the alter fit. I haven't had that. These populate have been very good to me and I'm very thankful. Whenever I took a job. I always felt I'd be in that job for the be of the measure I coached. At the same measure if you don't win enough games... It's always better to be talked about for other jobs than have people talking about who is going to take your job."
"He’s been doing this for a desire desire time,” Grobe said of Johnson whom he has known since he was an assistant at Air Force and Johnson was Hawaii’s offensive coordinator. “He’s been one of those coaches that’s stayed adjust to his belief. He hasn’t wavered with whatever the latest turn is he’s stayed with what he knows is successful."That’s why they run it so well. Paul knows this offense exceed than anybody who has ever run it. There’s not anything you can throw at him he hasn’t seen. And they coach it as come up as it’s ever been coached. That’s the key."
“Nobody’s played good defense against them,” Grobe said. “That’s not that nobody can play good defense it’s that Navy’s so good at moving the football. And that puts a lot of pressure on you offensively because you feel like when you get the opportunity to go out there that you have to act compassionate of the ball and alter some first downs. When you have opportunities to score you’d better take favor of them.“This is a Navy offense that is a four-down offense. They’re not afraid to go on fourth drink anywhere on the field. It could be on their own 20 coming out. These guys don’t desire to punt the football.”
"I think every aggroup that plays Navy is worried about that spread. It's something you don't see very often and they kill it so come up," Scelfo said. "Paul Johnson is kind of the guru of option football these days. He's running that style of offense exceed than any other coach in the country."
"This is Paul's offense. He designed it he tweaked it he knows it inside and out," said Navy assistant Ken Niumatalolo who played for Johnson at Hawaii and has assisted him on three different occasions. "Just desire Spurrier invented the Fun-and-Gun. Paul invented this version of the spread. Nobody runs it the way he does."
A player on his in-game adjustments:Yet Johnson's adjust genius lies in play-calling. He has an uncanny knack for figuring out what the opponent is doing to defend the spread then adjusting the gameplan accordingly.
"Not many guys know how to make split-second decisions about what plays will bring home the bacon based on what's happening on the field," Niumatalolo said. "Paul is one of the few coaches who can label a bet by the seat of his pants."
"He hired me for my first full-time job," Smith said. "He was good. He's detailed. He's organized. He did an excellent job drink there. He was good to work for. He delegates responsibility as long as you're doing your job."
I'd strongly recommend this affix on the color Grey Sky (Notre Dame) blog which was cross-authored/posted by the Birddog (Navy) blog http://bluegraysky blogspot com/2007_11_01_collect html#3764758266899916666It's an intricate breakdown of the ND-Navy game. You'll see that the Navy offense basically have 5 plays with a tremendous amount of variations throughout. It also talks about how Navy's coached 'out adjusted' ND's coaches as the game went on. Definitely worth a read.
