Tony Barnhart says its time

Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal Constitution is one of the most well respected college football writers/analysts in the country. He says its time for big schools to start looking at PJ:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Think it's about time one of these schools looking for a coach took a glance at Navy's Paul Johnson? Johnson, a former Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, was expected to struggle this year with a very young defense. But Saturday the Midshipmen (5-4) beat Notre Dame 46-44 in triple overtime, snapping their 43-game losing streak to the Fighting Irish.

"Our schedule was kind of front-loaded with tough teams and we had a young defense that got banged up, so we struggled," Johnson said Sunday. "But we've got three games left (North Texas, Northern Illinois, Army) and if we can win them we'll be 8-4 and that's not too bad."

Johnson is the first Navy coach since 1963 to beat Notre Dame. Not too bad.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My own opinion-he won't be at Navy next year and whoever takes a chance is going to get themselves a helluva head coach.
