Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[yourstruly23]

If Napier were to eventually be the guy hopefully he brings his OC. Has some past history in the SEC.
Rob Sale - Football Coach - Louisiana Athletics

Sale served as offensive line coach at Georgia in 2015, where the Bulldogs averaged 375 yards total offense per game. The Georgia offensive line – led by All-SEC First-Team offensive tackle John Theus – paved the way for more than 190 rushing yards per game as part of the overall 375 yards in total offense per game.

SOLD

Sounds to me like Napier is off the board entirely.

Why?

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Pruitt is coming back next year isn’t he?

Yes but hopefully not for too long after January 1st.

 

[vol494]

Sounds to me like Napier is off the board entirely.

Agreed

Alright fine if they wont give me Freeze I'll take Napier.

Wonder if he really would take this job if he's turned all those other programs down. The Tennessee connection is interesting, but this is a tough job littered with constant controversy. Would be surprised if we actually have the leg up here.

I think it could be a great hire tho. He would be great for Bailey.

That’s what we’ve been telling ourselves.

Butch and Pruitt were both good recruiters lol. Muschamp’s one of the best recruiters in the game. Development>Recruiting. It is and always will be

 

[GojiraVol17]

Agreed

That always happens before they actually make a move. Lol don’t be misled

poor auburn

 

[Kingston Vol]

Why?

Louisiana's AD making that statement feels to me like Napier has told him he's done interviewing at other places.

Auburn > Tennessee, so if he turned them down, he'd turn us down too.

I guess he's waiting on LSU or Texas.

 

[Aesius]

Bill McGoogleMe, come on down! You’re the next fired head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers!

 

[yourstruly23]

Agreed

Can he bring Adidas with him when he comes next week?

Because of the Feldman tweet? Napier makes 880k a year at Louisiana.....our OL coach makes that. He is obviously waiting for somewhere specific.

 

[GojiraVol17]

If Napier has actually turned the auburn job down, I’m really warming up to having him here. I like what I’ve seen after looking him up. He would be solid

Every 3 star? How long you been here?

 

[volfaninpa]

Hail Mary every play?

Runs Punt Block as his base defense.

 

[MrVolton]

Neal Brown is a pretty decent coach. WVU played Texas tough and beat then-ranked 16th Kansas St.

This report also mentions Sarkisian interviewing. Haven’t heard his named connected to Auburn.

I’d like to see UT hire either one of these guys.

 

[Catbone]

Pruitt is better than Freeze, Fickell, and Napier. Trust me.

- literally Phil Fulmer

We’ve had some decent convo over the year, but don’t you go and start toying with our emotions now!!!

Yup that #7 and #4 class was so lowly rated. If Butch was a bad recruiter than what makes you think Mullen wouldn’t come in and recruit top 10 classes? Foh

 

[KPT_VFL]

Sounds to me like Napier is off the board entirely.

How could you possibly know that?

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Swain made a good point last night. We need a coach who is both Xs and Os as well as a good recruiter. Who of the available candidates is the best CEO, blend of recruiting & development?
Freeze. Dude can flat out coach an offense & obviously is able to recruit and let his coaches do the work on defense and Special Teams.

 

[millst987]

Napier isn’t combing to UT if he turned down barn guys
Let’s use some common sense here

Not a bad deal to make 4-5 million/year being 90 minutes from your home town

This is not true. First, Auburn is not a better job. Second, he would prefer UT. And they are making a statement because he keeps getting interest in other jobs.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Pruitt is coming back next year isn’t he?

Yes
