There's about 25 P5 schools proven capable over the last 40 years of competing for CFB national championship. If Coach Napier desires to eventually coach at one of those schools on his next move, South Carolina is not on the list.
Would bowden have been able to build a florida state in today's environment? These subpar teams need to stop the steal
Sometimes a coach takes good raw material and do what hasn’t ever been done. Like whatever is happening here. USC is fine for getting the talent he needs
I've lived in both Columbia and Lafayette. As far as quality of life, Columbia is a decent place. The commutes into and out of town to the burbs is brutal as is the summer (year round for that matter) heat. It does have much to offer. There is an enormous amount of pride of state and of USC. They hate all things Clemson, I mean HATE...Great HS talent in the area, Irmo and Lexington always produce talent.
That being said, there are similarities with Lafayette/Acadiana. However, as nice as Columbia is, I believe Lafayette is head and shoulders above Cola. He is still raising a young family. I think that will play 70% or more into his decision should USC make a run at him.
While most of what I've read has him as a top 5 candidate, I don't see it happening. USC is a train wreck and dumpster fire all rolled into one. Does Billy want to go through a rebuild (a total rebuild and culture change)? Hud did not leave the cupboard bare for him, not so sure of that at USC. He'll have 10x the support, stadium is full regardless of how the 'Cocks are playing. I just don't see this as the perfect fit for Napier. Also, if he goes there and fails, he may never get another SEC head coaching gig. Does the risk out weigh the reward.
I fix it...geeze us....
