    Another Crimson Tide alumni...” Napier, who was an assistant coach at Alabama from 2013-2016, is very familiar with Neighbors, as the latter worked as an off the field graduate assistant, defensive graduate assistant, and defensive analyst during the same time for the Crimson Tide.

    A former college football player at Alabama, Neighbors played safety from 2008-2011, helping the Crimson Tide to BCS National Championships in 2009 and 2011.

    Neighbors began his coaching career as an Alabama student assistant, before serving as an off-field graduate assistant, a defensive intern, a defensive graduate assistant, and as a defensive analyst, helping the Crimson Tide to three national titles (2012, 2015, and 2017).”

    It's amazing that the staff that has been assembled here. For a G5, we have a P5 staff. Something big is building and Napier knows it.

    I believe that as well. It’s clear Coach Napier didn’t come to Louisiana for a job, he came because he saw huge opportunity to do something special and he’s not finished his mission. I also believe that is why he’s turned down jobs. This guy if freaking awesome.

    I'd like to believe this as well, but lately most theories I hoped would develop...haven't. We need Acadiana to get behind this team like never before...students too! We've tried strategies and tactics in the past to get the students in for games....maybe a national ranking (which has never been tried before...wink, wink) will do the trick. Fingers crossed!
