Anyone got a major problem with Billy Napier?

[HoopsDawg]

7-2 this year. Lost by 10 to us and 10 to App State.

Coached under Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney.

Louisiana is also a key recruiting area for us to supplement MS recruiting.

40 years old. Only makes about a million per year/maybe less so financials are not an issue.

I do not, but I also didn't have an issue with JoMo until I got to know his personality.

Gotta interview him to identify the personality type. Good football coaches keep players uncomfortable & on edge

Major problem? No. But Dabo fired him after a year, so I don’t count a Dabo bump there.

I've watched a few interviews with him, I like his personality. Much better speaker than Pruitt and Clark.

Interesting. I'd definitely dig on that

He was at Clemson from 2006-2010. Dabo was head coach in 2009. So he was 2 years under Dabo. He was only 31 at the time.

Lol at that last part. The opposite really. Great coachs set very high standards and pay attention to detail. The attention to detail is the most important part from my observations actually watching them coach from very close range over several decades. . Keeping players on edge works for some, fails miserably for others. It's not that important at all. The great ones, however they motivate, pay attention to detail and are able to instill that attention to detail in their players.

Napier would be a solid hire IMO

Here are a couple of articles:

Dabo was young, Napier was young.

He was OC during the interim part of Dabo taking over. I don’t count that because Dabo was the primary play caller. He had one season under Dabo as OC and was fired because the offense wasn’t good.
But, Saban said Napier was going to be a great HC one day and ASU tried to keep him as OC when they changed coaches.

True, it's also fair to point out that he was the youngest OC in the country at only 29 years old and he probably learned a lot from the experience. It's also fair to say he coached a year and half under Dabo b/c that is the truth.

True hoops and he was recruiting coordinator

I would take Hugh Freeze right now.

Name a good football coach that isn't edgy?

I think Freeze will be under a gigantic microscope in recruiting once he gets back in the power 5

Big improvement on what we have. No doubt.

By the way, ULL is struggling with USA who was a 27.5 pt underdog.

[Liverpooldawg]

LOL, I would too.

I wouldn't. That insane.

I've seen many each way. I'm not naming names because the ones I know well enough to say one way or another are high school coaches, many are friends. It's not that important. Attention to detail is.
