Billy Napier path out of Florida

[CajunJack55]

Will that work in the current NIL transfer portal world?

He seems to be good at stealing players as well....just sayin....

Louisiana is the farthest thing from Florida's mind.

Is that an assumption that only florida has paid him or a fact?

I guess he stole the wrong ones

Napier's "process" is that of a program builder by recruiting and developing.

His "I'm raising young men, not football players" might work for Sunbelt moms, but recruits (and their families) going to Florida are looking for a payday..

Would you hire him back say after 3 years if they let him go?

That one would be hard if he is willing to do it? I be honest I say you would have to stick with Des for 4 yrs unless we freaking collapsed.

. . . That ship has sailed . . .

Great point. Again, he HAD to know this going in. Right?

I agree but He currently has the #4 class for 2024. He has FU money to spend. His staff can recruit but even that takes a couple of years

It's the instant gratification of transfer portal and the FU fanbase that's the issue for him


We are 124 currently.... That's concerning

I’d be in favor of it. However, I’m afraid we may not be able to afford him and that type of staff like we once did.

We’d need to average at least 25k per game and increase RCAF contributions.

I doubt Florida makes a move after year 3. It would make sense to give him time.
