Brett McMurphy says Napier declines

[Commercecomet24]

Damn- can we get a post from Bert??? I was told he nailed it

He just posted in the other thread. Said Napier's still the man.

Guys:

1) Mcmurphy said "source", not "Napier himself", so stop acting like Napier told an outright lie to a reporter if he does wind up here.

2) literally anything other than "I'm not taking that job" is 100% going to be read as "I am taking that job". If you asked Mullen in '14 "Hey are you looking at X job?" And he said LITERALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN "NO", you'd immediately assume he was.

3) if he turned us down it's obviously because our offer was too low- our flirtmance has gone on way too long for him to just generally not be interested at all. That means theres time for boosters to look around, decide Napier really is worth more than the offer he turned down, and counter offer with more.

Paul Jones just made an interesting comment on Genespage.

He said that usually when a candidate comes out & says they have declined the job it means that a hire has already been made. Not usually, but most of the time.

Assuming that Paul knows more than us, I find this interesting

I?ve told y?all it was Grantham.

Supposedly he told OM and Arkansas, he wasn't interested in any other until after his bowl game. Therefore OM and Ark moved on. So..... there ya go

[ShotgunDawg]

We're still negotiating with Napier. He wants more money.

The media is going to be wild on this hire because we're the only game in town right now.

Everybody has a price. If you think he's the right guy, you pay him what it takes

[yjnkdawg]

Several possibilities here and only McMurphy reporting this . I doubt that Napier even made a comment concerning an offer. It could be his agent wanting to get him more money, he doesn't want any distractions for the bowl game, or the deal is already done. You offer him less than $4 million and what McMurphy said could be true.

If this turns out to be true, I hope Napier loses 6 games next year

What a cluster f***. Hud it is, I guess. SMH.

Why isn't Les Miles being mentioned?

[Liverpooldawg]

If we didn't have anyone lined up, with the timing of the firing, Cohen needs to go. I'll hold my fire till we see how it works out.

[WinningIsRelentless]

Then why are we waiting?

Looks bad to fire a coach and hire one the same day.

[thedawginme]

Interesting....

Cohenz already striking out?

Did you just reply to your own post, again?

Apparently this Lending Tree Bowl means a lot more to Napier than it does most everyone else.

Because "OK State Les" is long, long gone. Hell, I'd become a fan of his former school if he was hired.
