Cajuns and Billy Napier

[JAB]

Here’s a simple but interesting question: why was Napier so successful in the Sun Belt but so bad in the SEC?

It’s almost as if the Sun Belt isn’t on the same level as the SEC. And if that’s the case, then what would Napier bring back to UL? More Sun Belt success, which still would not compare to any sort of P5 conference success? Sure, UL would obtain some degree of short term gain, but how can anyone think that would translate into longer term success?

Billy inherited a pretty good roster here. Florida was in shambles when he got there and he had to get rid of several cancers in the locker room. If he is given time he will win at Florida.

We can hire Jimbo Fisher. He is about to be canned.

Now that would be quite the pay cut.

Napier's previous coaching/coordinator experience gave him a network of assistants to reach out to.. His staff of Sale/Roberts/Juluke was one of the strongest in G5

Des has no such experience or connections, and that's not something you get "on the job"

Napier might end the season 5-7 with a 5 game losing streak. They end with @mizzou and vs FSU. Good luck, Billy.

We could lose our last 4 too....also to be 5-7.

We know what Napier’s incoming class is ranked, what’s the Dez class looking like? How’s our class ranked against our peers in the belt?

[BAJ]

Really not sure how any coach can win with a haircut like Napier wears.

I’d like to file a complaint for identity theft.

You think any defensive in the country that’s playing 8 freshmen or sophomores, not redshirts, were going to stop the best offense in the country?

They put up 35 points and 488 yards of offense with a good but not great QB. Let them have a Jayden Daniel’s type QB and see what they do.

Our class is good.
