Brett McMurphy reporting that Napier turned down Moo State

[zephyr]

If State is willing to throw 4 million at Napier, I’d expect they announce him as their next coach following our bowl game Monday. The stakes are simply too high and the opportunity too good for Nap to pass on this. Sure he could sit it out another year and hope for a better offer from a more respectable program, but who on here would pass on what will be life changing money? I think the chances of him staying are more in the 20-30% range.
And believe me when I say that I hope I’m wrong about this.

Didn't Napier already decline the job?

[zephyr]

He never said that. There’s no “basically just said.” He either said or he didn’t. And he had the opportunity but didn’t.

If he left, my opinion would not change. Still a great man and great coach. I wouldn’t feel lied to. He is doing what is necessary to get his team ready to play on Monday.

Brett McMurphy reported that Napier did exactly that, he declined the job officially.

Yea, cause if someone ask me a question, I’ll not answer it and let someone else answer it.

Ross Dellenger has been calling BS on this as well.

Not that you would doubt Brett's reporting, but Billy Napier has indeed told those close to him that he has no interest in the Mississippi State head coaching job. Onward, the search goes...

LOL. Did you see the one guy who has a pic of Napier taking a pic with his wife and he photoshopped MSU logo on his jacket as his avatar? I mean, that is some classic stuff right there.

I’ve never seen delusion like this from a fanbase in a long time. Even after he declines, they still believe that it’s all a “setup” for him to accept the job on Tuesday. Weird.

Did Napier say he declined....didn’t think so.

This makes for a possibly highly anticipated Tuesday!

According to posted reports, yes.

[BabbForHeisman]

Even if another coach accepts, they are still gonna say it’s a setup for Napier. He’ll finally reveal himself by running out with the team for their first game. Some real deep state stuff going on here.

B, stop being a lawyer. 😜
