What are y'all smoking?

He wasn't running their defense. You have a head coach and a DC you have to listen to. Napier may recognize a good mind for defense and a tremendous recruiter in LA and TX... and until I see differently... it could be a great combination. I'm looking at it from 50,000 feet... and my lense is foggy. Napier is seeing it up close and personal with good eyes and a football brain.

If Napier and Basin are good with it... we are all good with it!

Apparently he went back to school to graduate. Was coaching at a high school in California in 2008.

Everyone can have their own opinion on this and I get that. I love the passion of our fans. It's all a roll of the dice guys from hiring Napier who by the way has no head coaching experience to every coach....it's up to the AD to choose a Head Coach that will be highly successful down to that HC putting together a staff that will lead us to success....

A young staff that is hungry and willing to put in a lot of hours. High energy is the word for this group thus far.
