Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I'm sorry I was wrong about us being UFs first SEC opponent... next year they start with

UTAH
UK
USF

We will be their first away game

 

[KPT_VFL]

Napier seems like a guy who wants absolute power. Never had adversity. At the first struggle I think he will crumble and fold, start making snarky comments in pressers and it will be beautiful to watch the fans turn on him.

UF is hiring the next Pruitt/ Muschamp.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Feels like Riley could kill it at USC. Being such a “QB guru” in a state that produces the most NFL qb talent, feels like a good fit on paper

He would be smart to go to USC and get out of Oklahoma before they move to the SEC. He can recruit bigtime talent at USC and have a much easier path to the playoffs.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Napier is a very meh hire for Florida. He may recruit like a mad man and that may be enough. He certainly doesn't play an exciting brand of football. Will be interesting to see who he hires as OC. To me Mullen is a better football coach.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Tom Herman still out there for the taking. Would be a better hire than some of the typical hot board names.

Didn't Herman chose TX over LSU back in 2017?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Napier wont last 5 years

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Didn't Herman chose TX over LSU back in 2017?

Yes. He also flirted with South Carolina before they hired Muschamp is memory serves.

 

[VOLSONLY]

UF is hiring the next Pruitt/ Muschamp.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Air raid guy from the Leach tree like Riley. Would be a great fit down on the bayou.

Dude won 8 games with Will Grier lol overrated

What offensive scheme do you see her run. I've witnessed virtually none. It's roll the ball out there and run around.

We are a poor shooting team especially with Burrell out right now…… this is shown by the fact that we are just a 58% free throw shooting team….. No style of offense can overcome bad shooting…. Have you seen the defense and toughness she has instilled in the players…. They are absolutely shutting people down….The last two games…. We have seen Tess and Puckett take huge steps forward in shot making and Puckett looks like she may develop into a star. I’m not sold on Harper either but she is definitely getting the most out of the girls, imo.

Feels like that for real.

With Florida’s expectations I’m not sure any coach would last 5 years.

Oh I agree he isn't great. Would be entertaining though. Awesome sideline antics.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Yeah with Napier going to Florida, I think Aranda and LSU already had a deal in place and it’s just a matter of finalizing it and becoming public.

 

[buffaloblue]

Yeah with Napier going to Florida, I think Aranda and LSU already had a deal in place and it’s just a matter of closing it up and becoming public.

Aranda just agreed to a Baylor Extension. He’s out. Kiffin is one to watch at LSU imo.

Unless theyre desperate LSU isnt taking Kiffin

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I was pro-Napier last year when we were looking. I think its a solid hire and LSU will wish they got him.

Hope he sucks tho

 

[Gilbert]

Napier doesn’t play an exciting brand of offense and plays a ton of close games. He may recruit lights out, but he’s not a slam dunk.

 

[Aesius]

Only thing that gives me pause with Napier is that he hasn’t had any letdown seasons at ULL since making them good. He’s pretty consistent there.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I would rather Napier be at UF than Kiffin. So I think thats a win.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

His division now has Smart, Heupel, a crossover with LSU and no more Arkansas State, UL-Monroe, Texas State or South Alabama. About to see what he’s made of.

 

[JCP201]

So who needs a coach? Florida, LSU, USC, Washington Virginia Tech?

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Napier is a less accomplished and hungrier version of Mullen. Probably a better recruiter, good QB coach. He will probably stay under the rader with the media unlike Mullen. I dont find the offense he runs very boring and dont think recruits will either.

He will bring them stability, but who knows how much he can win at this level. We will find out.

He did crush Arkansas state 28-27.
