Coach Napier's EXit

All Coach Napier has to do is spend a couple of days anonymously in Baton Rouge interacting with the citizens before he signs the dotted line.

I think Napier is gone after this year, because next year will be a reload year. Plus he will win a conference championship before he goes and that will happen this year!

Its not a fair comparison but I turned down better jobs when my daughter was young so we could stay in Lafayette which my whole family loved.

And this is why he stayes for a few more years...this has been his #2 reason not to leave.

Yes, we lose a few guys, but look at the 2 deep. It is loaded with young guys. It may be a reload year, but it won't be a rebuild year. We are absolutely loaded with young talent, and our talent level has improved with every new recruiting class. We may take a game or two to adjust next year, but I anticipate another 10 or more wins next year.

I expect Napier to be here at least until his first class of recruits graduates.

I have accepted that this is Napier's last year at UL. He loses a lot from this year's team, and unless he plans to stay here long term his stock will never be higher. He will accept the best opportunity he is offered at the end of this year, IMO

What does he lose? We only have 10 seniors.

OL Ken Marks
DL Tayland Humphrey
LB Ferrod Gardner
LB Chauncey Manac
QB Levi Lewis
WR Jamal Bell
WR Jalen Williams.

A big hit on defense, but those guys are replaceable. Offensively we will be better next year than this year.

That's a lot of studs right there. I hope Napier sees it as you do.

Only 3 of those guys have really done anything this year.

Gross.

I'll give you the 2 WR's
...the rest will make one of the all SBC teams...

[CajunVic]

So now we have 4 integral players on a team that is 18 and 2 in the last two years that have really done nothing. . . interesting . . .

I doubt it.

[Million$Mullet]

I doubt it.

You’re right. Chauncey Manac won’t make it

[JMV JustMyView]

You’re right. Chauncey Manac won’t make it

Some of those guys on that senior list have under achieved.

Gardner
Manac
Humphrey

Those are the only 3 that will hurt.

….one of my questions at the QB club had a reference to that a coach would stay at a situation with this type of talent returning…..we have some commits that could maybe play now….some guys that will commit…..and I would think some portal prospects that might even warrant starting jobs……add to this the red shirt and young puppies waiting out the year….who will venture a guess at next year,s starting crew? The 3 top RBs from this year, the remaining WRs, and LeGendre at QB!
