After the Navy football program parted ways with longtime coach Ken Niumatalolo last week, athletic director Chet Gladchuk reportedly has made a decision on who will be the next coach of the Midshipmen.
Navy will be making the hire internally by promoting defensive coordinator Brian Newberry “in the near future,” according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel
Newberry has served as Niumatalolo’s defensive coordinator since the 2019 season and commanded his best unit since coming aboard in Annapolis this season. Navy ranked among the top 25 nationally in rushing defense and also finished in the top 25 nationally in sacks and fumble recoveries.
