Napier turns down Auburn
at this point, you wonder if the guy is afraid of the SEC unless he can coach at LSU

I can understand turning down Auburn. For all Gus's faults as a coach, sane fans would look at his record at Auburn and say it was closer to justify getting a building named after you than getting you fired.
It's ballsy, but if he is hearing things about Orgeron and thinks that job will come up in a year or two, that's still to me the sweetest gig in the SEC, even better than Bama. And he'd be walking into the job already having connections all over Louisiana. He could consistently have a top ten team without leaving the state of Louisiana, and have a national championship team just recruiting regionally.

Additionally, Sark (Bammer OC) bailed on an interview and Steele (AU DC) is no longer being considered (per AU undercover)... Bill Clark (UAB HC) and Neal Brown (WV HC) are expected to interview...

Napier will end up in Oxford when the dust settles this off-season. Auburn wanted to keep the defensive staff intact, and it was a deal breaker for Napier. Lane Train is quietly loading at the station, and headed to the plains.

If he turned down Auburn, SC, & MSU, I doubt he'd take OM.
If anything, he waits one more year to see what happens at LSU & then moves on with Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, USC, etc opening up

You don't think Ole Miss is going to want to keep their recruiters intact? Some of them flipped out when Nix was almost gone.

He values full control above all other items, even historic prestige. Ole Miss will give him what he wants, including a ridiculous budget for staff salaries. Auburn has a leadership vacuum, and Napier found it hard to know who is in charge.
to recap: lane to auburn, napier to ole miss.

Auburn has multiple problems right now:
1) They just fired a coach with a very high win percentage in the middle of a pandemic. And they did it about 4 weeks into the season and everyone knew it.
2) They have one of the most meddling and power hungry influential alumni bases in the country. They probably aren't worse than Texas, but they are right behind them. Too many rich cooks in the kitchen and the attempted coup by Steele and some of those rich alumni highlighted that even more.
3) They are competing every single year with a Saban-led Bama team that's put together one of the best decades in the history of college football, Georgia who continually will compete for the SEC East, LSU, and Texas A&M. And if you don't routinely beat them you get fired like Malzahn did.
Auburn is a high expectations job that routinely competes against similar or higher expectations jobs. You are in state with Saban, and the coach that just got fired beat him 3 out of 8 times, which no one else has managed to do. And you are constantly battling Bama, Florida, Georgia, and LSU for recruits and are the least resource out of those 5 programs. Auburn isn't a great job right now. Saban has devalued its potential for success. That's not an idea situation right now.

Bert Stare... The Return
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

Lane wants to beat Saban more than anything else and his Twitter antics would piss off Bama and Saban. I could see auburn fans wanting that.
-
Kirby didn't take the AU job because he wanted full control of the program and they told him no. They do have some who like to meddle over there.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

That would be a first for Ole Miss knowing how they operate.

If Napier turned down Auburn only to take the ole miss job he's even dumber than he looks... And I don't think that's possible.
