Coach Napier's EXit

[KajunKrazy]

Mel Tucker has been pushed behind the scenes since day one. He has an SEC pedigree under Saban and Coached at LSU. He's been in my top 4 since the day of Orgeron's press conference.

If Mel tucker does he bring Jay Johnson with him as OC? He’s a guy I would prefer the Cajuns look at before a Pry that everyone talks about.

Georgia tech won it in 1990

Billy’s dream jobs are Alabama and Georgia. I don’t think he goes to either straight from UL. I think he’d very well take the unc job and jump to either from there with success.

That is why I think Virginia Tech could be a really good option for him. I don't think Mack Brown is retiring after this season, but who knows, but Justin Fuente is all but likely out at VT. If that is the case VT has the resources and history and fanbase to prove they can be relevant and compete at the highest level. The Coastal division of the ACC consists of a very inconsistent Pitt, an up and down UVA, an up and down UNC, a bad Georgia Tech, an up and down Miami and Duke. I could see Billy going to VT and winning the Coastal division in year 1 and being a Top 10 or 15 team in year 2 or 3. That would open him up to tons of opportunities.

Look, I hope Billy is our coach in 2022 and God willing he will be. But I feel like every year we have had him here we have been on borrowed time and we have been lucky each year that he has not just jumped to another job, like we saw with App State and Arkansas State coaches in the past. Dr. Maggard and Dr. S made a great hire when they got CBN, every season that starts and finishes with him standing on the sideline in front of the Cajun Football team is a great one.

See you in 2022 Coach Napier, bringing us another SBC Conference Championship (hopefully).

Agreed

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.

If Nape stays, Our assistants could be gutted after this year. Nape would have to keep rebuilding it.

We have already seen a little of this, but I agree much more could happen if CBN stays, but that is the problem with winning and it will always be the case as long as we continue to win, that is a good problem to have.

[Rainman66]

I can promise you it will not be Rebowe. We will hire a young and upcoming coach similar to Napier. That is if Napier leaves, which I doubt.

Didnt Jay say before the season that this is the last year Nape would be here?

Negative. Jay NEVER said that!

Negative. Jay NEVER said that!

Correct. I did not say that.
