Every coach we'll ever have at this program will be compared to Billy Napier because Billy Napier set the standard for success. Until someone surpasses that standard, his name will continue to come up. So you people that want to forget all about Napier need to get used to it.

Can I point out Billy is 18-25 without LL at qb. 34-5 with him.

Dez is currently 13-13 as a head coach. 1-0 with LL

Alabama went through that phase for a while after Paul Bear Bryant

Agree, CBN is the high bar. Any talk of him coming back is ludicrous.

Billy could go 4-8 next year and get fired while Dez goes 10-2 and there would be people here wanting to fire Dez to hire Billy back.

There is truth in that projection

And Steve Jobs is a foot note in history without Wozniak.
Not sure what the point is here.

Just an interesting stat. Maybe LL graduating was a bigger loss than billy going to Florida. Almost certainly if billy doesn’t take half the culture with him.

Point is Jobs still goes under without a $179 million dollar loan from Bill Gates with no Apple shares attached.

Morale of the story is, whoever controls the gates controls the interest.

But QB has been a plus position for this year. Zeon may not be yet, but will be a superior QB than LL. LL teams were also LOADED at RB, OL and TE. LL teams also had top 30 defenses in 2 of his 4 years. LL also benefited from some really good specialists, something that hasn't been common in the Des era.

LL and Billy also benefited from no NIL and portal madness.

It’s a shame. As soon as we get real good in football they come up with NIL and portal. I cry a little every time I think of what our last 2 rosters would look like without the portal. We got some dogs all over the place that were here.
