ANNAPOLIS, M.D. — Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo will not be returning to the Navy sidelines in 2023, the school announced on Sunday.
Defensive coordinator Brian Newberry was named the interim coach.
Niumatalolo, who played quarterback at Hawai'i from 1987 to 1989, had two stints in Annapolis, coaching running backs (1995-96), serving as the offensive coordinator (1997-98) and serving as the assistant head coach (2002-07).
During his tenure, Niumatalolo led Navy to three double-digit-win seasons (2009, 2015, 2019), beat Army 11 times, won six Commander-In-Chief's Trophies and a school-record six bowl victories.
Navy fell 20-17 to Army in double overtime Saturday in the first overtime game in the 123-year series; the Midshipmen finished 4-8 for a second straight season.
