I thought Mullen was a great hire.

He was, until he wasn’t.

If Napier is the tireless recruiter as he’s alleged, worst case he fills the cupboard for the next guy if he’s not the answer.

I've had a passing interest in Napier; my wife is from Louisiana and an LSU fan. I kept tabs on him thinking he was a perfect fit for and the obvious next hire for LSU. He should transition well to the big stage. He will recruit his rear end off. He will also have games which make you question his game day acumen. If the UF power brokers don't ruin the job for him, he will be a great coach for you.

A lot of respect for a guy who takes a job knowing the expectations in 3 years or less.

They went all in on Lincoln Riley and missed. Now Napier is off the board for them. Riley announced today he has no interest in LSU and is staying at Oklahoma. Now LSU is down to there 3rd choice. Starting to turn into there baseball search all over again and they will swear they got the man they wanted all along after settling for there 4th or 5th choice.

yep, tigerdroppings is very entertaining now

He knows you must recruit during the season.

That’s a step in the right direction.

And a rather large one at that.

Good way to look at it, I think he’ll do great at Fla tbh. Still would take Heupel over him though.

Everything I am hearing is encouraging, but isn’t it always.

We’ll see.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Thats not what you said. You said his resume is better than any coach we’ve hired since Majors which is not true.

Butch Jones's resume was trash and everyone with any sense could see that.

And yet there was more on it than is on Napiers

Respectfully, how could it be any worse?

We could be FSU.

They could hire Mullen. That would be Christmas twice for a gator.

No, because Billy drastically improved a program.

As a Clemson alum, I can tell you guys at UT that the rivalry with UF is about to flip in your favor. The hype is just that. You are in much better hands with Heupel at the helm than they are with him.

I’ll wait til Tennessee wins 1 first before I start giving @Sub Par SUPERSTAR any shat for it.

Never been a believer in "winning the press conference," but damn, this dude seems more boring than Pruitt.

He told them to look elsewhere, you'd know that if you were paying attention...Things are about to get super interesting now that this staff is starting to take shape.

We could be FSU.

Have you checked the recruiting rankings lately? Sounds like there is a giant sucking sound in jortville!
