Dude is great at spotting coaching talent and improving it.Quote:

As he was the bubble screen king. Maybe he's learned a lot since then, but State could do better.

I am not saying Napier is the end all be all but he is a damn good HC. If rather trust my future to a proven HC than another assistant coach. I guess we could try and hire Kevin Wilson from OSU.
Napier night be good at recruiting Louisiana guys but all the top hs players go to LSU there. He's young yes but with that you worry more about leaving if having success. Just some points to consider
We actually discussed this in this thread. He was 29. That was 11 years ago. I hope he's learned a lot since then.Quote:

Nothing makes me more mad than watching Moorhead sit there while we get flagged for touching an opposing player and then we get tackled going for a ball and no flag. I'm all for young and energetic but we can't let the next guy come in and job search every off season. Like I said, something to consider. I don't know where we are as a program especially after Cohen was going to give us a big hire and we ended up with Lemonis be (not a shot at lemonis).Quote:

His RB and DL coach are both legit and probably could recruit anywhere. His ST coach also helps with LB's which means he probably helps their DC with position coaching. If his WR coach stays in Louisiana where he is from and is also the RC we could very easily slide Peterson in at WR coach/recruiting coordinator.
