We play close with stAte, we play close with S. Al among others. Was he that dynamic?
Fresno St, SD state, Utah State, they weren't as talented as we were, yet they scalded some P-5's.
We got our zzzzzz handed to us by Texas.

Weird post.
Napier was an excellent coach who won a lot of games here. A lot ! Even if we would have beat TX and were 14-0 they would not have put us in the CFP, our climax still would have been a NOLA bowl and SBC championship. Cincy just so happen to have ND scheduled who were a top 10 team, beat them, went undefeated and got into the CFP. It basically was a instance where all the cards aligned. Napier has Louisiana this past season as the 2nd best G5 program in the country and the longest winning streak in the nation. Look at the players he recruited.
And yes I think he will be winning championships at Florida, but we have moved on. He ain’t our coach. And I am not a FL fan that is for sure.
Re: How good a coach is Billy Napier?
No question. Solid coach. Shouldn’t diminish what he accomplished here; but it’s history now. I don’t really care how he does in the future. I’m a Cajun fan, and not going into the portal (unless it helps me get my hair back and lose 20 pounds …).

Think once CMD gets it rolling, Napier in time will be respected to the level of Terry Don Phillips. Both men were visionaries, TDP was just held back by the Fossil. Napier delivered, can’t deny that.

Best part about your post, Z? We can come back a year from now and see how correct you are.

So the Cajuns won some games by a few points. So did Alabama. They're playing tonight for a national championship.
Don't be surprised if Billy, the coach you don't have much respect for, is playing for one in the near future.
You are such a tough guy, Rory. I have seen the light.

UGA the only eastern hurdle is yet to get past Alabama (could tonight) but like everyone cannot consistently do it. Aggies spend a lot to be 8-4. Saban goes away in a few years, Florida on upswing…Billy Napier, the premier coach of the SEC. We all underestimated his personal loyalty to those who work with him, we shouldn’t underestimate his resolve.
I can always count on you for a well thought out response.

Re: Football Staff specULation
Lucky Napier has all those connections so that he can pick coaches from across the nation.
Re: Football Staff specULation
He getting paid more to be an off-field analyst than a position coach? Or did CMD want a change?

He wasn't a position coach with us.

Sounds like Napier is striking out left and right with his “connections.”
That’s the only reason he keeps coming back to Louisiana.

No amount of Jordan's and Jumpman pullovers make desperation look good.

So, it turns out we had quite a few SEC level coaches and a lot of talent given all the players that transferred to P5 schools. How do we parlay that into a P5 conference invite? Maybe when Texas and OU move to the SEC, the Big 12 will replace them to remain at 14. If we continue to win and remain a Top 25 team, we might have a shot at that. One can only hope.
