Coach Napier's EXit

[JMV JustMyView]

How bout Rob Sale with the NY Giants or Bill O’Brien with Alabama?

Or Pete Golden is a name that I am hearing.

I don't like the media being able to announce stuff like this during the season. Too much of a distraction for a coach's current team. I also don't like how they talk like we don't matter.

Well I hope they respect us enough to give our coaching search some air time. We have to be an attractive destination at this point at least.

Hmmm I'm guessing Toney, seagrest, and hocke

Hocke would be a huuuuugggeee loss as well

You’re assuming the next HC will retain any/all of the assistants that Napier doesn’t take with him. That is highly unlikely. The new HC will want his own people.

Need to do everything possible to keep Juluke

They were told by Napier on Wednesday, is what I heard. Special relationship with this team to trust them to keep it that quiet.

Yes. The deadline was Wednesday at midnight. The news wasn't going to be released until after the ULM game. Coach Napier will coach the CCG and then jet out.

The new coach may keep one or two. Like you said they will have most of there own people coming with them.

You give or take 3 days. It’s easy to #kwowitall with that kind of spread . . .

I think the first three I listed are a given to go. JuLuke 50/50. Who will Coach Napier keep from the FL staff? I think the Interm coach will stay on board as he is known as a strong recruiter.

[CajunVic]

Napier kept Des because he was convinced it was the best thing to do. I would imaging if Des does not follow Napier, Maggard will suggest the same move to our next coach.

I would hate to lose Juluke too, he is an excellent RB Coach, recruiter and he loves Louisiana. Maybe the next staff will see his value and keep him.
