this gets me pumped! Napier is the man. period. full stop.
Nice. Winning begins in February. If we can sustain this type of effort on the recruiting trail for a solid 4 to 5 years we will then become the undisputed number 2 program in this state by far. Hud had a great first class then he dropped off, I firmly believe if this staff stays together there will be no drop off.
Excellent read for sure. If he does this for 4 to 5 years, UL will be a top 2 G5 team in the country and pushing into the top 25. I would not be surprised that next years class will be even better.Quote:

I don’t see it as him bailing as much as i see the big money come calling quickly. Satterfield and Brown moved on pretty quickly and neither come from anything close to the tree Napier comes from. So far, everything appears he does it the right way also.Quote:

Also, patiently waiting on your baseball all American predictions. Those swing and misses are as good as your baseball takes
I really appreciate your attempts to impress me.Quote:

Love our coach, but he is not done anything to warrant getting a more high profile job. Last year showed we are not even close to being good on defense or QB. We all expect improvement, but we are a ways away from being a G5 power.
Btw, it was a fantastic write up. Probably one of the best I’ve seen on the Cajuns.
Beat a P5, he'll get noticed.Quote:

Finish the season ranked, he might get offered.
Every year that passes where he accomplishes one of the above increases his odds of departure significantly.
Even Boise couldn't keep their guys. It's just the nature of the game. What Napier is doing however, is showing everybody that the intangibles here are through the roof, and the list of applicants for this job will be even better than when Hud left.
I'm just praying for 2 more signing classes with Nape before he cashes in.

I expect the path to having a serviceable defense will be difficult and may take a couple of years. At this point I am actually more worried about UL being mediocre in football than someone taking our coach. If Napier can develop a QB and somehow fill all the holes we have on defense this year I will start worrying about losing him to a high profile program.
