I think the Chad Morris fiasco at Arkansas will play into these coaching hires as well. Similar to Napier, Morris had one good season at SMU and was the next big thing. He wasn't ready to coach in the SEC. Napier is not a safe hire yet and unless some AD is desperate, his time has not yet come.
They are seeing it on social media for certain, but they are also seeing rumors for other coaches like Fritz at Tulane, Norvell at Memphis, Anderson at Astate, Harsin at Boise State and others. I would think if the rumors start to affect recruiting, Coach Napier will make a statement after the championship game with the first day of the signing period approaching on Dec. 18th. I just don't like pouring fuel on the fire at this point.
T&P to whomever hires Kiffin!
All we can do is have the coaches be aggressive and remind the recruits that in G5 your coach is either being considered or is on thin ice. Neither is more likely to keep the current coach. So they’d best go with the guy most wanted, he’s developing players and surrounding them with a great group.
