Navy clinched its first 10-win season in 1905, as Paul Dashiell’s Midshipmen went 10-1-1, ending the year with a 6–6 tie against Army. Paul Johnson (10–2 in 2004) matched the achievement, and Ken Niumatalolo led Navy to 10 wins on three occasions, including an 11–2 campaign in 2019—the winningest season of Midshipmen football in history.
No Navy coach had ever led back-to-back teams to the 10-win mark, however, until Brian Newberry, whose Midshipmen came back in the fourth quarter to defeat Army 17–16 on Saturday, securing double-digit wins and a victory over their archrival Black Knights for a second consecutive season.
