Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

 Seriously, here is what was said [PilotOnline]:

noting criticism from some unnamed Navy fan, said Johnson tends to take credit for wins and blame losses on his players.

Then Johnson… well… let’s go to the transcript (rated PG-13 for salty language):

Johnson: “Whatever he thinks. I don’t go down to McDonald’s and start second-guessing his job… ”

“If you could ever find one time that I said we won the game because of brilliant strategy, I will kiss your butt at City Dock and give you two days to draw a crowd…. Tell that guy that if he wants to talk to me, I live at (address given). I will be right there. Come ring my doorbell and I will be glad to talk to him.”

Johnson has basically stamped “property of Navy” on the Commander in Chief Trophy, ending Air Force’s dominance of the last twenty or so years of that trophy.  Paul Johnson is a presser tough guy. 

I don’t know if he is just a bad interviewer but I don’t think he has even been interviewed for any mid-major jobs, let alone any top jobs. Maybe he is happy where he is at Navy, Navy is surely happy with him.

When Bama was whoring herself out last year trying to get somebody, anybody, to coach their team I thought that they would make a run at hiring Johnson.  One day he’ll get a top program and I have no doubt that he’ll do some very good things there.

    What an appropriate term for bamas coaching search. In the end, Saban will be brushing those sweet, sweet featherd bangs with stacks of cash when he kicks bama to the curb and makes her do the walk of shame all over again. Was that a run on sentence? Fuck it, I’m not fixing it.

  4. Is that Dio?

  5. I’m just glad he’s HC USNA. Better than when I suffered through the Gary Tranquill years.
