I’ll take Coach Napier as HC for another 10 years. Will it happen? Probably not, but he will move on eventually. Which will be good for his family and good for the UL family if the right guy is hired behind him.

That would be 31 years ago, but yes you are correct. But look at their resources today and they simply can't compete yearly against the top echelon of college football today. He's turned down the opportunity to interview at Auburn, so I don't buy he can't go from UL to an SEC job. If it's the right job, at the right time, he will take it.
He's not finished at UL, he still hasn't won an outright conference championship. He has a chance to do that, and possibly finish the season in the Top 25 again should his team run the table the rest of the season.
Auburn could be open again if rumors play out.

I think VT takes a strong look at Chadwell from the beach chickens before Napier.
I think if LSpoo hires Tucker, I would be really worried about Jaluke getting hired back over there.
So would you consider every school in the nation a stepping stone? You can only have one at the top. Would that be Alabama?
So we are in the same boat as 356 other Division 1 schools? Always worrying that we will someday lose our coach? When is enough enough?
For the 2020–21 school year, Division I contained 357 of the NCAA's 1,066 member institutions, with 130 in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), 127 in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), and 100 non-football schools, with six additional schools in the transition from Division II to Division I.
I agree with those that are slightly concerned about VaTech and not at all concerned about Baton Rouge
Understand, your argument isn't with me. It's with these guys. They are in love with Billy Napier & one of them is getting some pretty strong inside scoop from the administration (IE Scott Woodward). I'm just informing from what I see & hear.

Even this guy who is a notorious UL hater likes Billy Napier & they are both high on him.

Don't just listen to who they are high on. Listen to who they are eliminating for various reasons that makes sense to them. If it makes sense to them, then you can pretty well bet it makes sense to Woodward.
I believe this is correct Dave. Woodard is looking to make a splash hire this time around and he needs the new president to sign off on it. My understanding is the new president is quietly pushing Mel Tucker behind the scenes and that voice is growing louder. If Billy Napier makes the final list, it will be because a number of high profile P5 coaches will have passed on interviewing for the job.
