All good points. But as for your reasons to not believe. First, Johnson would not just run the option. He runs the offense that best suits his players. At Navy, the triple option is best but he's not afraid to pass the ball either. The winning TD and 2 point conversion against ND were passes, not runs. Second, Navy's defense has been decimated by injuries this year. They have started 20 different guys, plus the defensive side is where I really think Navy is at a great disadvantage. Bigger and stronger offensive lines and bigger, stronger, and faster receivers and backs. If left on the field too long they just get worn down. Thats another reason why he runs the option. To keep the other team off the field. Now I am not a Nebraska fan, I'm a Navy fan, born and raised in Annapolis, and I would love to see Paul Johnson stay, but if he left for Nebraska you would be getting a great coach and one more Nebraska fan.

Let me tell you, as a lifelong Navy fan and Annapolis native, I would be sad to see Paul Johnson go but if he left for Nebraska you would be getting a hell of a coach. Some have said who has be beaten? He was a fumble away from beating Boston College in the Meineke Car Care Bowl last year, he's made 4 straight bowl games winning 2 and he'd done all of this with less talent, but there's more to it than that. If he is your coach you will have a disciplined team that will play every down 100%. Now some have said the tripple option won't work in the Big XII. It will. Texas won running a form of the option. Florida runs a version of it. West Virginia runs a version of the option. I get to see it every week and it is one of the most fun things to watch. As I said, I would hate to see him go but he's really done all he can at Navy. Winning record. Commander in Chief's Trophy. Four straight bowl games. Top 25 finish. He's a great coach.
