Why Billy Napier keeps passing up Power 5 jobs

[BeauCajun]

That even happens here by some of our fans so what surprises you?

That’s when you find out who the clueless are. Sort the rice from the chaff.

Riviana rice?

He has a plan and if it does not fit his plan, he is willing to pass. Pretty principled.

Folks don't realize the Cajuns have never had a head coach leave UL for a better head coach job, football wise.

Wow! We use to be a coaching graveyard not that long ago. I’m so glad I’ve lived to see this year and this coach.

Yep. Let’s keep it that way 😉

The fact that Dr. Maggard and Coach Napier have been allowed to set up and implement a system or "Journey" that is the vision of Coach Napier is critical. Every Coach worth his salt wants the opportunity set things up his way. You have to have great confidence in your system and no excuses if it does not work. Few coaches really get the opportunity to do that. Too many outside influences and interventions. I am not talking about just winning. Winning is the easy part. Most coaches do not have that clear vision of where a football program needs to be and are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to make it happen. If you can create a place where your experiment works, why jump around?

Agree with all of that except winning is the easy part.
Winning is always hard

I don't need to know why. I'm just thankful to have Billy Napier as my teams head coach.

.....Great post ——right on the money——but it doesn’t all happen without TJoe.....I know we are speaking in the athletics/football part of the university, but all the other goals except Tier one seem to have been met or they are getting there! Can I hear STADIUM???

[Crowley Cajun]

Lots of butt hurt SC people commenting seemed to me.

Yeah. And some of them got called out. lol.
