What about this guy?

Young enough to have a lot of coaching left - 50.

Offensive mastermind - runs the triple option now, but has stated he would throw a lot more often if he had a good throwing QB.

No ties to big schools - so no threat to leave.

Has had good success as a head coach.

Scary to think what he would do with all of our running backs and RP.

Doubts:

Can he recruit?

Would he be able to adjust his offense enough to be successful?

My first choice would be Peterson from Boise State before Johnson at Navy. Peterson would make for one exciting offensive team and he would bring a good DC.

I think your suggestion has already been picked up in Navy circles. Just got an email "Keep your hands off our Johnson."

He's a great bush league coach, but no defensive mind as of late.

Too many coaches in this day and age STILL putting all of their very best talent on Offense in my opinion.

Johnson's next job will logically be in the MAC or WAC, not the SEC or Big 12. Again, just my opinion.
