Coach Napier's EXit

[ManAboutTown]

Napier to Florida or VaTech. I think we know how that will work out. Expect announcement after SBCCG.

I understand what you are saying. But from the beginning this is what I was told when Billy Napier was hired, is that has a specific career path in mind. His program model and processes are designed to help him achieve those goals if successful.

1) Build a program that graduates athletes and win division championships within the rules.
2) Win conference championships.
3) Finish the season ranked in the Top 25.

Billy Napier has a certain program profile in mind.
1) The program must have the facilities, tradition, and funding to help him attract the kind of athletes to compete for a Nation Championship
2) Ideally the program would be in the South, or Southeast close to his home state if Georgia.
3) And preferably in the SEC or ACC

Now as of this morning he is still in discussion with Florida and if they can come to terms that is the best program fit for his career goals. Waiting in the wings and hoping the deal does not get done, Virginia Tech and Arizona State.

Either way, this is Coach Napier's last few games in Lafayette at UL. He wants the championship before he leaves and I believe that is one of the stipulations in coming to terms with his next employer. He wants to be able to finish the job on December 4th.

Sounds like a plan to me. A red flag was raised by me When he DID NOT SAY I have things to do here on the interview Monday morning on Scott Prathers program. That was different from all the other interviews he has given previously. Fellas he is going to Florida.

People starting to post on twitter that Napier is in contract negotiations with UF. I know you can say anything without a source, but for what it’s worth.

I hope he will be here for DEC 4th. He still has work to do, isn’t it weird that conceivably a coach from the SBC could possibly get a top 10 job and never win a SBC championship.

…..I guess that you could say that Coach has experiences with swamp football and wins a lot in the swamp…..the original swamp!

No idea. I hope PT gets an interview.

There is plenty of chatter, but I haven't gone off of information from fan boards, or Twitter. But I use the word coming to terms because it's not done until both parties are satisfied. Outside of anything close to what happened with Auburn, I fully expect him to agree to terms.

He's going to Florida with Billy Napier if the deal is finalized. But you can add Rob Sale to interview list I hope.
