If Napier has been helping Louisiana and Dr M find a quality replacement for HC and has been talking to Saban for the good of Louisiana, then 1) I’d be surprised, 2) if so then hats off to Coach Napier that speaks volumes to his integrity and loyalty to Louisiana.

This, this, this, 1000 times this.

That was my first thought when considering the loss of assistants.

Our best interests are absolutely as much stability as possible the final two games.

He's grieving, please forgive him.

The Coaches all talk, it's like a club. Also, some may not remember, but Saban came and spoke to the UL team one spring or summer, so there is a little connection there.

I’m sure Juluke is a great recruiter. His biggest expertise is in Louisiana with Louisiana high school coaches. Nobody likes uncertainty so Maggard needs to be careful about two coaches under contract.

I know there's nothing I can do about this but I'm still really upset. Napier was a heck of a coach for us. I trust that Maggard will hire someone good though.
