Several of our players have followed CBN on Twitter in the past few days. Boy that started our board on fire.

Stoops likes where he is, Don't think he wants to take away from his time at UO.

Until the contract is signed, there is always a chance. Any one with common sense would agree with that statement. But I find it highly unlikely Billy Napier will do so if they have met his terms. But that has nothing to do with any deadlines. Knowing the type of man he is, it will not be just about financial compensation.

Napier might stay to see the stadium being built.

There was not a deadline given. From what I see on our end the remaining issues are from an operational standpoint. CBN knows what he wants and will not settle for less. A lesson I am sure he took from Saban. If you hire a coach to right the ship, and build it into a Championship contender year in and year out you have to hand him the keys and enjoy the ride!

We need to up that number, no doubt, but 2 Michigan St alums signed up for the Mel Tucker $95M/10 year deal.

You never know what may happen. LSU and Bo Rein in 1980.

Don’t wish that on anyone.

Well I know he was offered the job. Will he take it is the million dollar question. It is possible he stays at UL.

Agree 100% That is the thing with Coaching searches, only those being in negotiation know what is really going on.

That was the beginning of the end for CDM. Never recovered.

You’re right about handing Napier the keys. That’s the reason he hasn’t gone anywhere. He wants what Saban has…100% control. He’s worth it.

Look at the situations he has turned down or was in the hunt. All didn’t offer him that one requirement. Especially Auburn, he did a quick thanks but no thanks.

All I said was he was offered the job and had a deadline to decide. I didn't say he would take the job. Stay tuned B, he could stay at UL.

I don't think he would have accepted the openings at Missouri, South Carolina, or Mississippi State had they handed him the keys. Of course that's my opinion. The jobs at Auburn and Florida are entirely different than the after mentioned programs above. Had the circumstances been different at Auburn, he would have taken that job.

As a former coach told me, he can't continue to turn SEC jobs down and expect his agent to continue to field interests in the future. But as others have stated, it won't be official until it becomes official.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to the Cajun Nation!

You are exactly right. I could never figure out how a school could come in and hire a successful coach and then get in his way and tell him how to do his job. If Florida gives Billy a little breathing room and time to get his process in place, Florida will be set up for success in the long run. If Florida fans get nervous and panic if he doesn't have the Gators in the SEC Championship game next season, then shame on them. Billy has a chance to be the next BIG thing in college football IF you don't get greedy too soon and don't give his process a chance to mature. I'm not suggesting it should take 5 or 6 seasons, but give him at least 2 or 3 and the rewards will be great!
The Gators will have a bunch of new fans in South Louisiana!!!

Funny thing is that a doc and Tulane Med Ctr worked near miracles to give my dad the little sight he had, but he’d a shot me if that would’ve made me a Tulane fan, lol.
