Coach Napier's EXit

[UL_Cajuns]

Win the conference championship this year and Napier may be gone, but I can see him wanting to stay with us and continue what he started including seeing the stadium renovation through. Another chance to compete for another conference championship next year and possibly go undefeated as lone P5 game is FSU. We have a shot at beating FSU and going undefeated to a NY6 bowl with a better QB. A NY6 bowl is usually the height of some of these coaches that move on. Get the man another raise after this year!

I still do not see him going to LSU.

I keep hearing about him getting close to home, he was born an hour and a half from Atlanta...he is less than 2.5 hours from home living in Lafayette. UNC and FSU are both 6 hour drives to his hometown...or you also fly into Atlanta which is no different than living here. There are only 2 places that would really be “closer to home” Alabama and UGA

Honest question. How many of those openings had a legitimate shot at a national championship?

Two. Tennessee and Auburn.

There is only one person who really knows and he is the head football coach at Louisiana right now . . .

Clemson is 2 hours or less to ATL. Also close to Furmamn

Not a favorite, but his name was mentioned.

Clemson is about 3.5 from his hometown do that would be considered a bigger job closer to home. My point is the fact that his hometown is 1.5 from Atlanta, and Lafayette has direct flights...he isn’t very far from home now.

The direct flight isn't a big selling point to be be considered close to home. When you have to fly somewhere to "go home" then you aren't close. Close is a Sunday drive to see your family or grandparents able to see your kids ball games on a Wed night.

Exactly so you gonna drive 6 hours on a Sunday to have lunch? So as I said, unless he gets Alabama, UGA or Clemson he isn’t going to be any closer to home then here. Those are still 3 hour drives. There is no P5 national title contender in chatsworth Georgia.
