Well placed goodbye.

It's the flavor of his destination.

Bon Voyage

Have a good trip.

I love this...things got to lax under Mullen...to be honest I think Mullen checked out after the Bama game. His stubbornness to keep bad assistants and bad recruiting doomed him.

Some coaches handled it like ____ ( see goofball Orgeron) Others like Nape have handled distractions with dignity and class and our players performed for him, the fans and the School. Ill be so surprised if he doesnt do the same at UF. Best of luck to the Gators. You have a fan

I'm fine with him coaching for the SBCCG, I'm sure it's what the players want.

It’s really not. Any Coach that does not leave for bigger pastures is subject to being fired shortly at the G5 level. The acceptance of this job means Napier has done all he could here and has raised the program to a level it has never been. To analogize that to a cheating bastard is shameful.

Absolutely. Wish him all the best. He left us better than he found it. I hope he wins every game except when we beat them at the 2nd best swamp!!

Now that the news is official, it hurts. However, for many years we have been hoping to get a coach that would elevate UL and be sought after by a major program. Billy did just that and is now being rewarded handsomely for the great job he did. I trust Dr. Maggard will hire another great coach that can continue to build on the foundation layed by CBN. Hopefully we will be experiencing a similar disappointment in the next 4-5 years due to the continuing success of Ragin Cajun football!!! ������

That could be a lot of fun though. Going to each other's home games. FREAKIN' road trips galore.

Bittersweet moment for sure. Congratulations Coach Billy Napier. You brought so many wonderful people, memories, and class players to us. God bless your family and future.

Just don't pull a Samford on us! smh
I'd obviously not be able to root for the Cajuns then.

I am now a big Gator fan… I used to hate y’all because of spurrier but y’all hired a great coach! If y’all are patient y’all will win a national title. Geaux Cajuns and Geaux Gators

recruiting time is gonna be interesting

Guys, I know this sucks and we have been there just like you guys are now. I remember when Spurrier left us to go to the pros. I didn't work for the next three days..it hurt bad. My divorce from my ex wife was a rave party compared to the hurt I had with Spurrier leaving. I am sorry guys I know it sucks.

I just took a massive poll. ;)

The average number of Louisiana fans who attended all regular season home games in the Napier era was 42,451

Any details on the contract?

Obviously I don’t think CBN is a cheating bastard, but I’m surely not going to gator chomp for him and ask the UL band to play Florida’s fight song on the way out lol.

On the bright side, out next coach will be cheaper and we get 3 million to get bent over in a bad way lol..

My hope is that our program becomes a destination and a place a coach does not want to leave.

There are only about 10 P5’s like that. Hope is eternal.

I don't know if there would be anything more classy than that.

Is that a good thing? College football coach inflation is at an all time high. Can we afford to go backward?

Would it be wrong of me to say I hope Dan Mullen burns in hell……��
