Three schools courting Navy coach
Posted: Wednesday December 05, 2007 06:21AM ET
While Duke talked to longtime assistant Rod Broadway, no candidate might be as important to the Blue Devils as Navy coach Paul Johnson. Duke officials met Tuesday with Johnson, who also is reportedly being courted by Georgia Tech and Southern Methodist.

Report Offensive CommentWhy, pray tell, would Johnson be interested in the Dukey job? Navy has a better program that would be a step down unless they ante up a couple of mill.....

Report Offensive CommentOn a serious note: He probably knows that if they win two games a year he may hav a job for many years and the fans will be happy and he wins those two games a year against UNC and NC State every year he may have a job for life...LOL
RUDY P | 12/05/07, 10:29 PM
Report Offensive CommentSo what... at Navy he only has to win ONE game a year and it's been a success. I don't want to see him leave a good situation where he's already making $1.5M per year, he's the best coach we've had in decades.

Report Offensive CommentArkansas needs to go after Johnson.
...then he can get a pay raise and a contract extension, and never have to leave the comfort of his recliner...

Report Offensive CommentSorry to see him go. I am interested in knowing if he will run the same offense at tech?
Now colleges from sea to sea
May sing of colors true,
But who has better right then we
To hoist a symbol hue?
For sailors brave in battle fair
Since fighting days of old,
Have proved a sailor's right to wear
The Navy Blue and Gold.
So hoist our colors, hoist them high,
And vow allegiance true,
So long as sunset gilds the sky
Above the ocean blue,
Unlowered shall those colors be
Whatever fate they meet,
So glorious in victory,
Triumphant in defeat.
Four years together by the Bay
Where Severn joins the tide,
Then by the Service called away,
We've scattered far and wide;
But still when two or three shall meet,
And old tales be retold,
From low to highest in the Fleet
Will pledge the Blue and Gold.
