Navy is changing football coaches. What won’t be different - according to athletic director Chet Gladchuk - are the expectations for the program.
“Our objective has always been to win the Commander-In-Chief Trophy, which is reasonable,” Gladchuk said Monday. “And then No. 2, you win six games in the year, which essentially is the Commander-In-Chief Trophy and four games, gets us to six, which gets us in a bowl game. That has been the constant bar that we’ve strived for, is to achieve those two goals, which are I believe very realistic.”
Navy hasn’t achieved either of those goals since 2019, and now Ken Niumatalolo - the winningest coach in the academy’s history - is out of a job.
