Napiers strength was supposedly recruiting. If we retain him he isn’t jumping to a top 5 class.
Thanks 1-6 vs ranked teams. A mediocre team is going to occasionally upset a team. We’d have beaten Samford, worst team in SEC and the worst in...
It’s all about trade offs. My fear is he gets to 6-6 and people justify keeping him. Given our schedule that’s a pretty weak year. That’s 1-6 vs...
I think it’s the opposite. They can’t engage with Sexton as then that tells him that Napier is gone. They can’t talk to Sexton until Napier is fired
Most of them have the same agent
I think an interim is better for the players and the rest of the season so I think it’s better for the athletes. But we can agree to disagree
We have talent. Thats not the problem. The problem is we lose a ton of points based upon coaching
I mainly want to avoid Billy getting to 6-6 and having people talk themselves back into it. I’d put the O/U at 5.5 Our schedule got...
I don’t care if he comes midseason. An interim is as good or better than Billy. And firing him now avoids the 6-6 risk and lets us start back...
It doesn’t save us anything. Billy gets paid the rest of 2024 whether he coaches or not
And this is the issue. Napier shouldn’t keep his job unless he gets to 8 wins The danger is he gets to 6 based on a weakening schedule (MSU, UCF,...
Ok so your argument must be that you think we win more games with Napier than under an interim. I disagree although in the grand scheme of things...
What part? That I think we win more games with an interim?
1 to 3 more wins with Napier 2 to 4 more wins with interim
I think we play better in 2024 and have a marginally better chance at a better hire if we fire him now. But by far the most important thing is...
But what are you suggesting? Do you think the next 3 years will be better under Napier than say Cig, Kiffin, Fisch, etc? If that’s your argument...
The problem isn’t that we fired, it’s who we hired. Are you suggesting if we kept Champ, Mac, or Mullen we’d be in a significantly better spot...
He is 63. If a big school calls him and offers 8-10m he’s clearly taking it in Dec/Jan. Nobody is saying he’s going to come tomorrow
I don’t mean to be rude, but do you know how coaching searches work? Absolutely nobody is saying to fire and hire a guy that will start mid...
He seriously thinks we want to hire the worst possible candidate (excluding our current coach). It makes no sense. We obviously want to hire the...
