OT - Arizona offers Ken Niumatalolo EDIT: Not So Fast?

Edit, looks like UA officials are pumping the brakes on prior reports. Link: https://www.azdesertswarm.com/football/2018/1/12/16885818/arizona-footba...

Arizona is rumored to be offering their open HC job to Ken Niumatalolo of Navy, a proponent of the triple option offense. He's an understudy of former Navy/current Georgia Tech HC/Option Guru Paul Johnson.

I'm interested to see how this offense would perform in the spread heavy Pac 12, especially given the existing talent from Rich Rod's Spread Offense. Arizona would also seemingly be an easier place to recruit to vs GT and the service academies.

Not sure he would leave Navy

Not sure he would leave Navy now since he could have left for BYU a year or two ago and turned it down. Not sure if BYU could match the Ariz money, but it was a nearly perfect fit for him. I think he's happy a navy.

Geez, what did I say? I mean, it's a fact that the Navy is full of seamen going all over the world. It's a problem that most of them are caucasian, and not terribly bright or quick. But that's a conversation for another time. For the moment, let's just all admit that the Navy is full of thick, white, dense seamen shooting all over the place.

It's just hard for triple option guys to get that kind of look. There's a huge stigma on it that "it can help you be competitive if you've got nothing as a program, but you can't win a title with it"

Also BYU ain't Arizona. The big itch for him is proving he can win at a P5 school with his offense. Signing up to go coach at BYU with their weird failing attempt at Notre Dame independence isn't an enviable coaching move, which is why Bronko left and why they didn't exactly have people knocking down the doors for the gig when he did.

Niumatalolo is a really good coach and frankly Arizona needs something different(ala the RichRod offense). I like this move for them and while I know Tate doesn't want to run the triple option he'd be great at it.

His record at Navy is a palindrome, so this is the perfect time to leave and lock that in.

If, as a Mormon himself, he didn't leave for BYU last year, I doubt he will leave for Arizona now. He has been at Navy for 16 years now (plus an earlier 2 year stint so 18). He's the winningest coach in Navy history. Probably staying in Annapolis.

To do what, play running back? Denard was an electric player. Very fun to watch. He’s not a QB though. If Tate is Denard 2.0 (Admittedly, I haven’t watched much of his play) then definitely do NOT want at QB.

Smh...how quickly we forget! Kid was the best offensive player we had In Ann Arbor by a mile in the past decade. He led a team to the most wins Michigan has had since ‘97 and holds multiple records. Was he the greatest passer? No, but if we had him at QB this year with that defense we definitely end the season with double digit victories

No

Still not a qb. Denard couldn't make reads, full stop. Just couldn't do it. Doesn't matter that he had a half way decent arm, that's less than half of what it takes to play qb. He could not play qb in this offense, regardless of what he did in RR's. That offense was designed so that he didn't have to make reads, basically ever. That is not what we do now.

I'd love to have another Denard type player, but as an rb, or slot receiver, not qb.

He played in a pro style

He played in a pro style offense with Hoke when he won 11 games. I hope Harbaugh would be smart enough to adapt the offense to his skill set. What made Denard so special was that he touched the ball on every play, and was a threat to score every time he had it in his hands. If you switch his position, he becomes less effective as we saw when he returned from injury during his senior year and with the Jags. You also seem to forget that our QB’s this year were not great making reads either. Yet, they all lacked what shoelace had...when everything broke down around him, he could take it the distance from anywhere on the field(plus an infectious smile to boot). I would trade that in a heartbeat from what we had playing QB this year.

Didn’t say he wasn’t a great player. I said he’s not a QB in this offense. He played in a “pro style offense” (Hoke kept plenty of spread concepts to accommodate the roster talent) and he completed just 55% of his passes for 20 TDs and 15 picks in the year they went 11-2, and 53% of his passes for 9 TDs and 9 picks in his Senior year. Kid was electric, he was fun to watch. But he’s not a QB. He’s a running back or slot receiver.

Best offensive player doesn’t

Best offensive player doesn’t mean he would be a good QB. Denard is the Michigan career interceptions leader. That’s pretty much the only QB record he holds. He has below average completions percentage (55% and 53% in his two years in a “pro style” offense).

“Most wins since ‘97.” Sure if you ignore the 2006 season. And let’s forget the 6 other years that the team had a better conference record and the 9 other years with the same conference record.

Would love Denard on the team. Not at QB. Michigan was a good QB away from beating OSU, likely Wisconsin and potentially MSU as well. Denard is not a good QB. He’s somewhere between O’Korn and Peters in terms of QB ability. He wasn’t winning us any games at QB.

Im not Hitler..I would never say he cant tweet his opinion..His opinion and the way he keeps pushing it comes across as if he feels he is bigger than the University and his demand for the DC to be hired or else he is gone feels as if he sees himself much larger than he really is in the picture of Zona hiring their coach.

Im sure Zona would rather get the right guy for the long haul than appease a solid QB who had a good season running the football..Im no judge but in my opinion, it feels like he may have let a decent season swell his melon a bit, my opinion.

Letting his voice be heard doesn't mean he thinks he's bigger than the university.. Think about how silly that is.

I'm sure he doesn't think he's in a position to dictate anything. But if speaks out and lets people know how he feels, just maybe that will generate support among fans and boosters. I'm not sure what else he can do about something that's obviously very important to him.

with him? Maybe they'll start speaking out too. I know, players should keep their mouths shut and be grateful they have a scholarship.

Have a little empathy. Those players are looking at either losing the coaches who recruited and worked with them or keeping most of them if the DC is promoted. There's a lot of uncertainty about their roles with a new staff, especially one coming from across the country with a completely new system.

I don't see players wanting continuity as an out of control special interest. Not saying Arizona should only listen to him, just that players are stakeholders with voices that should be heard as much as the next person.

The tweet doesn't hurt him in any way. If they do hire Ken and Tate wants to stay I'm sure this could get ironed out in a sitdown. If he wants to transfer he transfers either way.

So what? How many TDs

So what? How many TDs Michigan threw for is not a metric for measuring well roundedness of offense.

Further Navy scored 42 rushing TDs to 10 passing

Michigan was 26 and 9.

If you're going to use TDs as a metric I would think the ratio of rushing to passing is more important than the absolute number of passing TD. And Michigan's is closer to 1:1 and therefore, I would argue, is actually more rounded.

Navy throw 102 times on the season (822 runs). So, it really wasn't that much of an anomaly based on bad weather.

Further, GT throw 119 passes on the year and ran 632 times. So, the numbers say the GT actually passes more than Navy.

The triple option will never work in the Pac 12. Niumatalolo can't coach defense. He can't recruit either. What else......he hates the desert. This would be really, really bad for Arizona.

In all seriousness, probably almost a lateral move for Niumatoalolo. What happened to Jedd Fisch? Please hire Jedd instead!

I've been aching to see how a true triple option team with P5 recruiting would do. Georgia Tech is so hamstrung by their academics and by their lack of fan support/cheapness with assistants that it always feel like CPJ is having to make chicken salad out of chicken excrement there every year. When you look at GTech assistant coaching salaries and then look at what the programs who compete for top Atlanta talent pay assistants, it's stark. I remember when Charles Kelly turned down the GTech DC job to go to FSU as a *position* coach with the promise he'd probably replace Mark Stoops (he ended up doing that) because FSU offered more money for him to do that on top of the promise. They've never given him that Brent Venebles type difference maker DC that could make GTech into something real scary and interesting.

Arizona has easier admissions, a willingness to pay for their coach, and if Coach Ken is able to get a big DC hire, he might do some real damage. Imagine a program that concentrates all their recruiting on defense because their offense can make due with kids that fit the system. That could be real scary.

would love this

I think Coach Ken could get his fair share of wins against the rest of the Pac-12 South. Defending the triple option requires tremendous discipline and USC, UCLA, etc. are...not known for that.

Coaching young men with the

Coaching young men with the discipline & respect that is paramount at a military academy must be an unbelievable experience.

A couple things:

I'm very plugged into this search.

1) He has been offered.... The AD and Ken's agent are working out the details

2) The Zona fan base is imploding about hiring this guy over keeping Rich Rod

Maybe I’m missing something

But why wouldn’t the fan base implode? RR was a big step up type of hire for AZ, whereas this seems like a step back to their usual middling range coaches. Expectations from the AD seem higher than reality dictates.

Arizona should go after Lane

Arizona should go after Lane Kiffin. Seems like Lane thrives in jobs that have low expectations. Arizona is a low expectations destination and it's a step up to a P5 job from FAU. Seems like it would work really well.

They should go get Jim Tressel. I mean he can't be worst than Herm Edwards.

They only got RR

because he was damaged goods after Michigan. I think everyone realizes that the odds of a new coach coming in and surpassing RR's on the field record aren't great, but then they wouldn't have fired RR just on the back of his record.

Who else do the fans think they should get? Meyer and Saban aren't leaving for Tucson any time soon.
