    Wasn?t saying he was offered. He was contacted, or his agent was, as he has been for other openings. His demands are absurd. Not sure there is any program in America that would allow what he?s asking, before proving himself. Very odd. Possibly a few too many shots to the cranium. He?s an odd cat.

    I will say that some of what Bert said last year about Billy Boy was true. The articles were already written in anticipation. The calls were made and some of the ULL assistants were lobbying hard for the move. In the end, we would not meet all of the absurd demands and hand over the keys to Davis Wade and the Bryan Building to a guy who?s at a program that gets offended when you call them ULL.

    When he said that Napier was going to Ole Miss because their boosters were going to let him run their program like he wants I knew he was wrong.

    Of course I could see Ole Miss lying to Napier too. They're the same program as Auburn essentially from a booster standpoint.

    Napier reminds me a lot of Dan. Doesn't win big games when it counts and is extremely arrogant. No wonder so many of our fans loved him.**

    Yeah. Things can be spun because most people don't realize that schools go through agents to contact these coaches most of the time.

    So I could say "MSU didn't directly talk to Napier or offer him the job" and be correct but that doesn't mean that we wouldn't have offered if we could have reached a middle ground.

    This is it. The parties could not agree during discussions. We may have dodged a bullet. Only time will tell.

    I don’t know what Napier is waiting on, but he has messed up 3 job opportunities that are ten times better than where he’s currently coaching and he didn’t have the year this year that he should have had with the talent on his roster. He is going to miss his chance if he isn’t careful.
