With Army out of the way, Johnson to make the Rounds

Another excellent report in the Annapolis Capital reveals that Navy HC Paul Johnson is headed to Atlanta to consult with agent Tony Reale about potential job openings. Johnson didn't reveal much about his intentions in his post-game press conference after the Middies' win over Army, but he didn't close the door either about the possibility of changing addresses:

"I can only say this: not one thing I have seen or read has been true. I have not taken another job. There is not going to be an announcement tomorrow. They've been shipping me out for six years and I'm still here," Johnson said. "That being said, as any other human being would, if someone calls and asks to talk to me about another job, I may listen. But it would take a special deal for me to leave."

Let's hope that he doesn't take a side trip to visit the Georgia Tech campus while in town. Although Duke would likely be able to beat out SMU for Johnson's services, I'm not sure that the the Duke opening is more attractive than the chance to jump to a more established program like Tech.
