If we do end up with judge (doubtful imo), he needs to surround himself with college coaches, not guys in the nfl.

I don't get the shitty schedule thing. If you're good, wouldn't you want to compete with the best?
It's gonna be Napier if he's our #1. He won't turn down the final offer. It would be one of the weirdest things in coaching carousel history if he did.
I really want to want Judge because I believe in his pedigree, but damn I want to see him call plays or do something besides just be Belichick's right hand man.
The Dallas Cowboys would argue your point on Special Teams coaching..
I'm much more concerned about Napier preferring Baylor than I am about him not wanting to come to Mississippi State
Of course the other side of this is that the Baylor angle could being blown out of proportion by the Napier side in an effort to gain contract leverage.
Think about this from Napier's agent's side: MSU has other candidates as leverage in negotiation. What does Napier have? ULL? Come on.... Napier needs a leverage point from which to negotiate with MSU & Baylor appears to be the angle IMO
Judge is also the WR coach for the Patriots. Not sure why he just gets called Special Teams coach.
Problem is that is that WR coach is the same position Getsy had with the Packers. Not exactly an SEC head coach caliber position

I hope he's our head coach someday, but I don't love the idea of it now.
I feel like in many ways being an NFL is easier. No recruiting & you have a GM. All you have to do is coach football. College football is so much more than that.
I've often thought about that. What if a college football team hired a GM who was in charge of player evaluation & decisions & then hired a football coach under him?
