Coach Napier's EXit

[Louisiana84]

I hope he stays for 28 years at this school the way his dad stayed at Murray County. Freaking love the guy. And if we have to say goodbye, I will cry like a damn baby. There is no replacing him in my mind. His work ethic, his attention to detail, and his level of caring for those who he coaches, as well as those who coach alongside him, is unparalleled.

I really don't see Billy being pushed to take another job by his agent, or anyone except maybe his wife. If the "push" fits his plan, then so be it. But IMO, he's making the decisions on what's best for him and his family, period. There's pros and cons either way he goes, staying here or going to high pressure job with great expectations. I sure hope he stays until the stadium rennovation is completed....that's the story I heard and understand is his unfinished biz.

This right here for me too!

Absolutely!!

1. How do you know what Sexton is telling Billy?

2. You really think it’s just as easy to succeed at moo state playing in the SEC west compared to Virginia tech playing cupcakes in the ACC?

1)Because I listened to Scott's interview with him yesterday. And IF he hasn't taken another job yet, then the odds are astronomical he's gonna be made, or already has been made an offer he can't refuse.

2) And it's just as hard to succeed at Virginia Tech as it is at Miss. St. It took Frank Beamer 7 years before he ever had a winning season at Va. Tech. Do you think they give the next guy that much time? They didn't give Fuente that kind of time & he had winning seasons.

I hope so too.

IF he does this then you better build a statue of the guy & rename the whole facility after him. Because he will be showing UL love & loyalty beyond what any coach has shown a school in modern history.

Finebaum seems to say the top two Gator candidates are CBN and Kiffen. Almost at the same time Glen Guilbeau said CBN is in the top 3 for LSU.

I hope he stays too. $2 million is still $2 million.

I attended UF for a year and lived in North Florida for about 7. Personally, I find Gainesville a little creepy, but Ocala, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Palm Coast, Cedar Key, High Springs, Titusville, and Daytona are within easy driving distance. Its a really nice place to live.

Wow, you take the "U" out of one of those places and it sounds like heaven!

……One part of the where to go or stay is the PORTAL…..HE SEES THIS AS A HUGE FACTOR IN FUTURE OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS….lt isn’t the guessing of a teens head and skills but a decision on mainly performance at a comparable level……many of our guys could be plucked away this year if not for Loyalty, culture, and many Ws…..although we didn’t grab many, some have done as expected and have provided needed help……he foresees a mercurial situation in college sports based upon the portal…..just thoughts of his thoughts!

So it is Napier to Florida, or LSU.

Man, there is a big piece of this I have not seen (or I didn’t go back and look). Family.

Happy wife, happy life. Seeing this man and how CBN has handled his business, his decision will be well grounded.
