Days’ worth of frenzied speculation over Navy football Coach Ken Niumatalolo’s future at the Naval Academy was all for naught. Niumatalolo sent two text messages Sunday morning announcing his plan to stay in Annapolis despite having interviewed for the vacant head coaching job at Arizona. “After much prayer and pondering...it has become crystal clear the USNA is a special place with special people and I LOVE IT HERE!!! The former quarterback is the winningest coach in Navy football history, compiling an 84-48 record and nine bowl appearances in a decade-long tenure. As for the unfinished business Niumatalolo referred to in his text messages, Navy has lost the past two Army-Navy games.
