PROVO — Jack Damuni knows Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo so well he can watch a TV game, see the expression on his face, and know what emotion he’s feeling.
Damuni, BYU football’s executive director of on-campus recruiting and community player relations, and Niumatalolo, Navy’s most successful football coach, will reunite their lifetime friendship that began in the sixth grade on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, when the Cougars travel to Navy for a Labor Day Monday night football game.
“He’s a very competitive guy and he simply hates to lose,” said Damuni. “Also, his team is very disciplined and I know they will fight to the very end.
