Coach Napier's EXit

[IberiaCajun]

Thank you, Coach Napier, for 4 fun years. Good luck to you and your family at Florida.
You are always welcome in Cajun country. In fact, bring your team! We would love to show them some Cajun hospitality.

I'd be willing to bet the top candidate, who has probably been interviewed twice by now will be a guest at that game...that is if he's not on current staff..

Thank you Coach Billy Napier for bringing unprecedented success to University of Louisiana football over the past 4 years. You brought the Cajun program to heights that I possibly thought would never be achieved in my lifetime. Best wishes on your new position as head coach of the Florida Gators. Geaux Cajuns!

I think CajunChuck said what we all feel. No need to elaborate much beyond that. Coach Napier is now probably relieved he will no longer have to answer my pointed QB Club questions or try to figure out what Boomer is really asking. That knowledge probably made his decision easier haha.

We promise not to bring more than 20,000 fans.

That’ll probably be discussed in the next coach’s contract negotiations.

Thanks coach. You definitely raised the bar here. Hoping our new coach will be half the man you are. officially a gator fan now. Win big especially in Baton Rouge. Geaux Cajuns

Maybe ESPN would let that game be played on a Saturday.....

So who as offensive coordinator?

Is Des the only assistant who has been here (at least on the offensive side of the ball) for all of 4 of Napier's years? Can he and is he good with theat offensive philosophy?

On a side note, I'd go with Wingerter as the interim for the bowl game, and (making this assumption) let Des call the offensive plays.

Toney still runs the defensive for the bowl.

As little disruption in the immediate future as possible.

I like the idea of Des calling plays, wish he would have been doing that all year. Napier's play calling is head scratching and very frustrating at times.

Just asking. What makes you think Des would be any better?
