He’s a good coach. Just not the right guy for this program.

Marcus Freeman is an interesting name. But I’d like to see another coach whose goal is to continue to build upon the foundation Napier laid.

I was joking.

If you want an idea, look at the track record.

Dr. Maggard, regardless of the sport, has looked for the same qualities.

A history of winning
Reputation as a relentless recruiter.
A person of integrity.
A person with a good moral compass.
Doesn't necessarily have to have head coaching experience.

Now, as we talk about a replacement, start with that. And, my money is on someone with a background as an offensive coach.

And, as far as names are concerned, the first time I ever heard the name Billy Napier was when it was reported he was offered the job.

Dr. Maggard knows exactly what he's looking for. I don't think this is going to be a long search.

I wonder what not a long search means. I would guess it would be more than a week as we don't want to interfere with championship game preparation. My guess is somewhere between December 8 to 15.

A not long search may mean it may be complete.

Freeman may very well be a great coach, I am just not sold on him because I don't see any connections in the South at all. Doesn't mean he can't do it, just a lot of stuff to overcome.

Robe was on the search committee that hired Napier. I wish he was here on this hire as well!
