"Napier is still a viable candidate". Just sayin'
That's encouraging
I'll be ready for all of this to be over
All I know is that if Cohen wanted to prepare us for Napier NOT being the coach Rosie wouldn't be saying that. I take that to mean that Napier has at the very least not told us no at this time.
Good news
The legend of Bert grows....
Bert Stare is Billy Napier
I'll gladly give up my limited v-cash to Bert if he's right. actually, I think he should be give a ton from ED if Napier's named Tuesday.
As I said before ... everything except from JC himself is grain of salt. Unless it comes from Bert Stare.
This search by Cohen and the deflection by these beat writers seems like a giant ruse. I have a strange feeling that the story is already written and this simply a waiting game. They've had every opportunity to write off Napier..... but no one will for some reason.
Napier will interview with Baylor if Rhule gets NFL job.
Judge will interview with the Giants.
I like Napier too but people shouldn’t act like our coaching search is a failure if we don’t get him. If he’s a big enough idiot to not quadruple his salary that’s on him. Also, he’s not going to get a big time P5 gig coming from UL I hate to tell him. If he wants the Alabama gig in a few years he’s going to have to make a jump to an MSU to cut his teeth. Baylor isn’t interested and last I checked they have a coach. That OM agent just might not have Napier’s best interests at heart. Also IMO Judge looks more and more intriguing to me as I look over who he may bring. Lupoi as DC and Hall as OC as his coordinators add to that Feld as S&C and you know our ST would be bad ass with Judge. Seems we could be extremely successful with Judge.
Coaching search where the rumored leading candidate is playing an inconsequential bowl game on January 6th. Could this be any more Mississippi State?
You only get one shot to watch you kid play college ball - when you've got the money he's already banked, why wouldn't you come be a DC for ~1.5 Million for 4 years? Hell once we go to back to back NY6 games in 2022-23 Alabama is going to take Iron Bill and we can let Uncle Todd take over then.
He also said ?No matter what ANYONE says , there is no deal in place?
Even if there was a deal in place Rosie would 100% say there was not. Rosebowl is pretty much Cohen's mouthpiece on issues like this. There may or may not be a deal, but either way Steve would say there is not until MSU is ready to make an announcement. Come on people, use your noggin on this stuff.
I don't believe Steve would know this, so I'm calling BS on that. Bert, you're close to the Louisiana side, correct? What you hearing about the unopen Baylor job?
Seems smokescreenish to see how many times a job that isn't even open yet is supposedly affecting our hiring of Napier.
I don’t understand why everyone assumes Napier is going to Baylor, should the Baylor job come open.
Per this Rhule is interviewing with the Panthers on Monday and Giants on Tuesday.

FWIW, Matt Wyatt didn't have Napier on his list of candidates. He did have Luke Fickell, insinuating that he's being interviewed.
His list of candidates:
Sark
Judge
Chizik
Calhoun
Monken
Grantham
Fickell
Mentioned Clawson, but said he heard about him right as he was getting ready to start the podcast so he didn't go into detail.
