Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo owns up to his responsibility for last season’s disappointing 3-10 record. The Midshipmen simply did not perform to typical expectations in 2018 and ultimately the blame falls on the coaching staff.
“It all starts with me. I’ve got to coach better and I’ve got to find a way to get our team to play better,” Niumatalolo said prior to the start of spring football practice.
However, Niumatalolo has repeatedly pointed out that Navy played the toughest schedule of his 12-year tenure with Notre Dame qualifying for the College Football Playoff, Central Florida earning the lone Group of Five berth in a New Year’s Day bowl and Army setting a program record with 11 wins.
