We couldn't afford to keep him because he went to Florida...

We couldn’t afford him cause he went to Florida. We couldn’t afford him cause we didn’t have $5million for one coach. We will NEVER have $5million for ONE coach.

Billy comes back with his 20 mil purse for 1 million a year at UL and bring his entire UF Team with his 20 mil bag and uses it on NIL propelling UL to the CFP! UF does have some solid athletes. Yea, a Cajun fan can dream.

Only comparatively correct.

Couldn't afford what Florida was offering, but Napier was offered more money to stay than he had been making.

Much more.

I thought we put woulda, coulda, shoulda to bed a long time ago. Tired, invalid argument. Go out and get the job done.

If you are replying to my quote….. I wasn’t making excuses for the start of the season. My point is Billy can’t come back and do what he already did here. It’s a completely different sport now. Recruiting and coaching players up doesn’t matter. Money does. You recruit well and coach them well they will move on. Not all of them but enough of them to make every year a toss up basically.

EMU #3 in bottom-10.

Wrong. He was offered something that would have put him at the top of the G5. We just couldn't come close to what Florida offered.

Saw that. And NO SBC teams listed/mentioned.

#4 in CBS Sports bottom 25. Multiple SBC teams on that list.

Makes this game a MUST win to avoid attention the program doesn’t need.

with proposed funding for only one year . . . we don't have a money tree . . .
