Guys, have to disagree about CPJ's replacement. Navy does not run the same distribution of offensive plays we do. They are very much a triple option team, while we are more a spread option team. Ken N. is a great coach, but no one has the ability that CPJ has to read the defense and then adjust what we're doing to attack the weaknesses of the defensive alignment. I don't think anyone would be as successful running this version of the spread option offense at Tech, against the caliber of opponents Tech sees week in, week out.
Navy coaches as a STAFF - to get the same results on a higher level you'd have to take their entire institution and drop it on Atlanta or another Power 5 city.
That being said, can you think of the last time CKN lost to a team with *inferior* talent? Ever? I can't even think of the last time he lost in a match-up of equal talent.
