Even though I'm in the Navy, and root for the Middies every week...
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!
I go back to a previous thread where someone talked about how Coach K has no recruiting connections other than those from Hawaii. NO WAY do we want ANYONE from the Hawaii staff (or with University of Hawaii connections) coaching our team. Seriously, do you want to see Greg McMackin as our DC (yeah, he'll be fired at the end of the year.) No freakin' way! The only reason he got as much hype as he did was because June Jones offense w/Brennan was putting up 50 a game, and the 35 UH gave up every game was overlooked (remember 2001 with VO?) My credentials on this? I had UH season tix the year they went undefeated and got waxed by UGa in the Sugar Bowl. Good deal by the way, they serve Gordon Biersch beer and margaritas in the stadium.:thumbsup:
If we want the triple option to Boulder (which I admit I'd like to see again) then we need to cough up the major dough and get Johnson and his entire staff to come to Boulder.
As far as the heart the Middies, that's a trait inherent at all the academies (look at AF) because of the type of kid that goes to a service academy. These kids come to the academies because they want to serve a higher purpose than playing D1 football and getting to the NFL. And that desire translates to the field. Very rarely will you see that type of desire at ANY BCS school.
If we want the triple option, then go get Paul Johnson. He is now a proven commodity that his offense can translate to BCS competition. Coach K is an unproven commmodity and we've already lived that nightmare. We don't (hell, we CAN'T) need to do it again.
Going Sinker....
