    "I will kiss your butt at city dock..."


    Is it just me or are head coaches becoming more testy? Of course we have the no class Steve Spurrier who has always been an ass but there seem to be others. Read the following transcsript taken from Navy Head Football Coach Paul Johnson's remarks after a loss to Ball State. The reporter's name is Wagner.

    Wagner: I was talking to a Navy fan and he said he follows the coverage and that he noticed something and I'm just going to put it to you. He says that it seems like when Navy loses you blame the players, ie we can't execute fundamental plays, but that the success of the team the last four years has been attributed to brilliant coaching. How do you respond to that?

    Johnson: Whatever he thinks. I don't go down to McDonald's and start second-guessing his job so he ought to leave me alone.

    Wagner: But do you feel like it can't be both ways?

    Johnson: You know what? I could care less. I'm old enough where I could give a crap what the fans think or what you think to put it in a nutshell.

    Wagner: Wins and losses are evenly distributed as far as credit and blame, right?

    Johnson: If you could ever find one time that I said we won the game because of brilliant strategy I will kiss your butt at city dock and give you two days to draw a crowd. Find it and bring it to me. Tell that guy that if he wants to talk to me I live at (address given but deleted for the transcript) I will be right there. Come ring my doorbell and I will be glad to talk to him.
