BOCA RATON, FLORIDA – Navy football has always been about the players. For now, Florida Atlantic football is all about its head coach.
That became obvious before, during and after the season opener between the two schools.
Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo has always taken a backseat to his players, making sure they and the program as a whole are the story.
After 19 years at the Naval Academy, Niumatalolo knows Navy football must reflect the values of the institution. He preaches the importance of culture and promotes The Brotherhood mentality that has defined the Midshipmen for years.
