This thing ain't over

Stay tuned...meanwhile-this from an article previewing the Army Navy game in the Times Herald Record. Navy senior LB Irv Spencer weights in on Coach Johnson. PJ seems like a real player's coach:

Spencer: "Every time you are around coach, you could hear one of those moments. Coach is honest-to-God, gracious in humor and a great guy to be around. His jokes are hilarious and he keeps it real loose. We have a Facebook group that keeps all the best coach (Paul) Johnson quotes."

Anyone have access to that group?

Asked the reason why Navy would win this weekend Spencer replied:

"Our scheme on offense is hard to stop. It's hard for everyone to stop. Then, we got coach Johnson. No matter how you come out defensively, he might run three or four plays and he'll change the way you block it in the middle of the game. He's the reason why we will win, coach Johnson and our coaches."

Outstanding stuff directly from a player. These are the intangibles that a head coach cannot be taught. You either have it or you don't. PJ has it.

You can have just one opinion about a person and then have 99 that are completely opposite. I am not saying that person is wrong, definitely seems motivated in some way, but there is no way Johnson is the next HC at Nebraska. People that are dreaming for this one will not get it.
