Nothing is shocking, but I would be surprised if Niumatalolo would even entertain an offer from Oregon; not after the serious dalliance with BYU last year. (Coach Ken is LDS.) Besides, he's turned Navy into a consistent force even after joining the AAC. If Ohio can beat WMU, Navy has a clear path to the Cotton Bowl by beating Temple for the conference championship, although I wonder how the powers would deal with the fact that Army-Navy is the sole game on the docket one week after the championships are settled.
Navy, Georgia Tech, Air Force, Baylor, Oregon, Texas Tech and others run variants of the spread option. Some pass more, some run more; but the scheme would translate well to the players in Eugene.
I really think the secret sauce to Navy's success is Ivan Jasper. He was ready to step into the breach at USNA had Niumatalolo left for BYU. Never know if success at OC translates to HC, but my son was pretty close to that team and staff and thought it would.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
