Even though Paul Johnson does have ties to SMU AD Steve Orsini and Executive AD Mike Vaught from their days at Navy, I'm told by a very reliable source that there is absolutely no truth whatever to the rumors that Paul Johnson will be the next HC at SMU. It would literally make no sense. In fact, the job at Duke in a BCS conference (and his home state of NC) makes more sense than the job at SMU. SMU is a lateral move from Navy with a little larger pool of recruits to pick from. Put it this way-I'd be absolutely shocked if Paul Johnson ended up at SMU. He can get a better job than that. In fact, Navy might be a better job, all things considered.
Meanwhile, even a moron from the University of Colorado campus newspaper can see what needs to happen:
"If Tom Osborne of Nebraska has half a brain, he would give Navy coach Paul Johnson a serious look."
This begs the question-IF Tom Osborne doesn't even give Paul Johnson a chance, do we need to question his sanity? Johnson and Jim Grobe are very very similar in their careers and what they've done taking smaller schools to success. And all indications are, Grobe is very high on Tom Osborne's list. So what gives Tom??
