    Maybe if we do get Pry, we can save money on the paperwork as I understand it was then ready to sign.
    One of his buddies told me at legends he was 100%.... thats why it was spreading through our local media his friends. He got the interview and his boys through it was a lock. Maggard had other plans.

    It was a lock, then Maggard got the calls from Sabin and Dabo and the lock moved to Napier. Just the facts.

    The fans from Basin-East want Napier for the sheer fact that it would mean we lose a good head coach. Doesn’t get more petty or trashy than that.

    When Saban retires, that’s like predicting Tom Brady retirement, the SEC center of gravity might be College Station. Jumbo still pretty young. LSU better hire someone they’re confident can compete. Billy might be that guy, but I’m sure they’re not hiring him to stifle us. That would be an added benefit, but not the reason.

    TAF having to cut us a $4 mill check would kill them

    To be honest, this does make some sense. P5 job, Clemson looks very mortal, after that who do you really worry about in the ACC? Also, Blacksburg is a small college town, great place to raise a family.

    Yes, I do think this is a more appealing job versus Ole Miss, Miss St, even S. Carolina. What I don't have a feel for is their AD and his vision. I think that has A LOT to do with Coach Napier still being with us.
    I don't think Virginia Tech is on his list of schools, but he may listen. The one to keep an eye on is Florida. Jmo

    I doubt LSU would ever hire a head football coach from UL. They are just that arrogant.

    They hired YG, so there’s that. And Jerry Simmons.

    Bret Venable at Clemson was roommates with Texas Tech’s AD in college, so I think that’s pretty much his for the taking.

    It is not their fault we got to him first.

    The difference is their current AD, Scott Woodward. Woodward is going to swing for the fences as he did with Women's Basketball and Baseball. I think in the past you might have seen Billy on the short list, but I think Woodward is going to swing for names like Dabo Sweeny, Jimbo Fisher or even Mel Tucker and etc. He wants this to be a huge hire for LSU. I think Billy Napier is on a list, but it is a secondary list, not the main list. Just my opinion.
