For the first time in 15 years, the U.S. Naval Academy will have a search for a new football coach. On Sunday, just a day after losing to rival Army in heartbreaking fashion in double-overtime, Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk fired longtime coach Ken Niumatalolo.
It would be easy to argue that Niumatalolo is the greatest football coach to ever lead the Midshipmen. He is, after all, the winningest coach in program history with a record of 109-83.
