Navy Football Coach Ken Niumatalolo Wife Barbara Niumatalolo Is From Guam
Ken Niumatalolo wife Barbara Niumatalolo was an athlete at the University of Hawaii. Ken and Barbara have parented three kids.
Ken and Barbara are college sweethearts who later went on to parent three children who followed in their footsteps. Niumatalolo family shares a close bond with one of their son working at the Navy football team with his father.
On December 11, news broke out that the winningest coach in the history of the Navy football program would not return after 15 years at the helm. Niumatalolo’s firing came as a shock to many.
But the higher-ups of the Navy insisted the coach knew his job was in jeopardy and his staying or not was not proportional to the game they had against Army.
Ken Niumatalolo Wife Barbara Niumatalolo
Ken Niumatalolo wife Barbara Niumatalolo was born and raised on the island nation of Guam.
Barbara and Ken met at the University of Hawaii, where she was on the swimming team, and Ken was a star quarterback. The college lovers soon tied the knot right after graduating from college.
And though her husband maybe not be from Guam like her, Ken, to say the least, is a huge fan of the small nation of 170k people. When the former coach of Nave visited Guam in 2017 to celebrate his mother-in-law’s 80th birthday party, the coach had many wonderful things to say about the country.
During their initial years as a married couple, Ken and Barbara were left in a severe financial situation. Ken didn’t have a fixed job, which meant Barbara would have to run the house.
It was a frustrating situation for the couple, but they never let that frustration affect their married life. Being a spouse of a football coach is a difficult task. Ask Beth Satterfield about it.
Barbara knew if she wanted to live happily married to the man of her dreams, some sacrifices needed to be made. The first one was to shun being a materialistic woman.
In her interview with Baltimore Magazine, Barbara talked about their initial days as a married couple and reflected on how far she and Ken had come as, once upon a time, seeing pizza on a plate was a luxury for them.
Barbara is available on Instagram with the username @bniumat and has her account in private mode. Her children explain her as more of a hands-on mother. She inspired her kids to take up some musical instruments during their school days.
Though the current situation of Ken Niumatalolo might not be as bad as it was in the 90s, the coach will once again turn to his partner for support.
