I truly believe the next coach is already on this staff.
The team has the potential for being good next year, but it’s not a given.Quote:

If I’m Billy I’m avoiding the SEC. If you’re not immediately successful you are fired by year 4. I would instead look at the ACC.
My choices would be as follows.
1. UNC
2. FSU
3. VaTech
4. NC State
5. Miami
Those are all programs that can win a National Championship. Plus give a coach a full 5-6 years to prove themselves and establish their own program.
The SEC is a money grab for HC’s or long term coordinators.
Except the man in the mirror. We as fans need to step up.Quote:

I would not want to personally gamble on a retread that already got paid and might not have the passion to run a program anymore.Quote:

I only dream it happens.
Who?
I find it odd that VaTech just beat the ____ out of Duke 48-17. Why fire the coach after such a dominant performance? Is it because Billy Napier will be in Lynchburg, VA this weekend? ��
First time poster, long time fan here. Just graduated in May and wanted to hop on here to get thoughts from our fans on Napier's job interests. Looking like he will be the back up for LSU should they miss on Riley or Aranda. Many speculate he will be offered the TCU job or Va. Tech should Florida not open up this year. What are our feelings on what he would do should he receive an offer from TCU or VT (which seems likely)? Personally I think he would be better off continuing his build here especially after OU and UT leave the Big12. With the Sun Belt on the rise and strong support from the AD and fan base, could he pass up non SEC jobs to stay at Louisiana? Or would he feel he needs to take a "stepping stone" P5 job before he could make the jump to an SEC school. Ill hang up and listen.
I feel like this has been a hot topic of discussion on this board before. Maybe I missed all the other threads about Napier leaving. I'll hang up and listen.
Looking for more analysis regarding jobs that aren't across the basin... you know there will be interest elsewhere
I posted this yesterday in another thread that used to be on the RagePage but was moved to another forum….

Man, the Squirrels are out today...
If you're a true graduate you can tell the class what classes were the most physically exhausting to reach?Quote:

He is, however, directly in the cross hairs of TCU & VaTech. As I’ve said here for many months.

nathancpike beat me to it. But I climbed mt. Griff for the English/history classes after trying to make it in time from my math classes in Maxim. just wanted to get a feel for the fans because I moved for work after graduation in May and haven't been able to make it back outside of the App game. Thank god for our not so sophisticated student ticket systemQuote:
