Napier turns down Auburn

BERT IS BACK

Someone in the Elite Dawg ownership needed Bert's ad-clicks for some extra Christmas money.**

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.

This, People, is how one "messageboards".....

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MetEdDawg again.

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.

Confucius, did you just put "Saban" and "Twitter"... in the same sentence???

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.

So...Napier turns down Auburn to go to Ole Miss? You just outed yourself. Lol!!!

[KOdawg1]

It's evident that Napier

1) Is scared to coach in the SEC

or

2) Is waiting for a blue blood job like LSU, which he won't get without another stop first.

Just a weird situation all the way around.

Dude, serious question.....how can Napier afford all these houses? You seem to have the scoop. I mean he now has houses in Starkville, Oxford, Auburn, and Lafayette. I mean real estate on the Square ain't cheap.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Nothing wrong with being selective, but I don?t think he will make a jump from UL Lafayette all the way to a top blue blood. He seems to be happy enough there for now so it?s possible he is just waiting for the right spot. He won?t be at Ole
Miss if he turned down Auburn, that wouldn?t make sense

At least I didn't include Instagram

[Dawgface]

I would love to know who Bert really is. C34 perhaps? Yancy? An owner of this site?

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

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

Damn somebody that wants him to stay at ULL must have some major shit on him for him to turn down better jobs and want to stay live in the ass hole of America.

[Dawgfan77]

Let me say this. Yes I'm still hearing Kiffin to AU it's not dead yet. But I can tell you with 100% confidence if that happens Napier will not be in Oxford. You can book that one.

His threads have certainly generated lots of clicks, lol, so some people are certainly happy about his presence, even if he does just troll the ever living **** out of everyone.

I don't know why he can't jump from ULL to a blue blood. Is being successful at ULL really less impressive than being successful at Houston? Obviously not a guarantee that it will happen, but if he shows sustained success with no drop off for four or five years, I think he will be a credible candidate. His challenge will be that Orgeron might get fired before people view his track record as long enough, and LSU would be the blue blood that makes the most sense for him.

BERT IS BACK

BERT IS O'fer!!!

[PGHBulldogBG]

I have a feeling Auburn wants Freeze as their first choice but that same feeling tells me Sankey will not allow it. I wonder if Auburn would to the Coach O/Pittman route. Outside of Freeze I?m not sure who they hire. I just hope it?s not Kiffin I want him to stay at Ole Miss so that they don?t actually hire someone that would be a legit threat

[BeardoMSU]

BERT IS O'fer!!!

This is Bert.

[DLGDawg]

This is Bert.

Hahahahaha. Nailed it!!!!!!!

[Jack Lambert]

All these SEC jobs he is turning down, I call bullshit. He is spinning every time he gets turned down.

[Randolph Dupree]

Kiffin will end up in Auburn. Not saying Napier won't end up in Oxford BUT he's been linked to MSU, USCe and now Auburn. You don't "turn down" all three of those to take Ole Miss. and you sure as hell don't do that if you "value total control".

My guess is Matt Luke comes back and they slim it as he learned soooo much from Kirby.
