Navy head coach Paul Johnson has decided to leave Annapolis for Atlanta. Johnson was introduced as the Yellow Jackets head coach at a press conference earlier today. Navy AD Ched Gladchuk had this to say about Johnson's departure,
"Paul is fixated on what Paul wants to do and that's the next step and new challenges at Georgia Tech," Gladchuck said. "We appreciate what Paul has done and we'll always remember him as one of the great coaches in Navy history. But we're very respectful of his wishes for new challenges at Georgia Tech."
During his time at Navy Johnson amassed a 45-29 record and turned a struggling program that into one of the top offences in the land. One main factor that might have taken Johnson to Georgia is that he started his coaching career at Georgia Southern collecting two national championships during his tenure there.
My take: Watch out. Johnson is a top rate coach who uses what he has to work with to create dangerous offensive threats. I'm happy a coach of his caliber has come to the ACC but nervous he might be able to pull together a top rate team.
