Must not have hit him hard enough, Dabo made a call for Napier to get the job here.

So who as offensive coordinator?

Is Des the only assistant who has been here (at least on the offensive side of the ball) for all of 4 of Napier's years? Can he and is he good with theat offensive philosophy?

On a side note, I'd go with Wingerter as the interim for the bowl game, and (making this assumption) let Des call the offensive plays.

Toney still runs the defensive for the bowl.

As little disruption in the immediate future as possible.

A director of operations will not be the Interm in a bowl game.

Thankyou, apologies and giving up obsessions, in shorter supply than computer chips in a pandemic.

You have a knack for making simple things appear to be very confusing . . .

I can't believe how weak some think a simple, free, no cost, thankyou makes them.

If knew Napier I would congratulate him on his new gig. If he had gone to LSU I would do the same. He was a great coach here and did wonders for UL. But I would not play hold that tiger for him.
Weakness really doesn’t play into it either way

Really hate to see you go coach, but excited for you in your new Journey. I’ll certainly be pulling for the gators and hope you have great success. Thank you for the last 4 exciting years and building a winner at Louisiana. See you Saturday!!

Billy showed it could be done because Maggard and the administration are good judges of talent (please no Marlin jokes.) Like Napier said, he was given the necessary resources. We have an amazing foundation to keep this thing going.

It’s a sad and strange feeling to lose a coach because he’s had so much success. I honestly feel a bit depressed, but I trust that the next man up will be a good one.

Now let’s win a Championship.

I figured Coach Napier would be in Lafayette 2 years minimum and 3 years top. He stayed longer than I thought.

Thank you Coach Billy Napier for bringing unprecedented success to University of Louisiana football over the past 4 years. You brought the Cajun program to heights that I possibly thought would never be achieved in my lifetime. Best wishes on your new position as head coach of the Florida Gators. Geaux Cajuns!

This with slightly watery eyes.

Amen...

Kind of bummed we have the biggest game in Cajun field history coming up with this news. We knew this was coming and I’m glad he’s going to Florida but just hate the timing. Hopefully we can send him off with a huge win and great crowd support for the SBC Championship!

A big crowd would help landing one of the best coaches available.
