Coach Johnstone Fired!
Coach Liam Johnstone of the Navy Midshipmen has been fired.
After three beleaguered years of injuries, disinterest by the public and just a general failure to get the job done, the young coach has been replaced.
His first season did not net any wins for the Navy Midshipmen, mostly simulated by a coach eager to get to recruiting his players, his way. However, the second season was not simulated at all and that season, the Midshipmen failed to have a winning season and the embarrassment of that was capped off by an inability to beat perennial rivals, Army.
Early in the third season, Navy lost Senior wide-receiving standout T. J. Moon and Freshman quarterback Brent Giles for the season. Seeing that the end was coming, and learning, first-hand, that Junior quarterback Scott Sanderson could not get the job done, Johnstone decided to simulate his third season. However, this being a contract year, Johnstone would have done well to pull it together and right the ship, so to speak. He didn't, and his unemployment speaks for itself.
Caught in a dilemma, Johnstone could have taken a job with another low-prestige college, Army, Temple, possibly UL-Lafayette, but Johnstone instead decided to walk away from the game and start over.
"Maybe I'll write, maybe I'll get a job in the mill. Most likely, though, I'll just hit the "reset" button and go through it all again.
