Re: Napier

“I would tell you I'm a lot more critical of myself than anybody on the outside is,”


“I'm on the inside,” he said sharply when asked about his team’s direction. “I have relationships with the staff, with the players. We're getting better at our process.


“Some of these questions you're asking, you weren't asking a couple of weeks ago. Ultimately it is what it is. We have to deal with the result. So when we lose, we've got to come in here every week and answer questions from the outside.”

This is the point that I think was missed by some. It’s not that Elko wouldn’t necessarily take the UiF job, it’s that he’ll have options and opportunities and could well take another or - yes - wait for another. I think the right AD hire could help them.

This is fair. What people are missing is that the Michigan state job is also open and that is a fairly equivalent job in the other premiere conference. The outlier with Elko is that North Carolina is a pretty nice place to live. Raleigh Durham is a much nicer area than Gainesville.
 
There's a lot of red flags with Napier.

When a coach is only in year 2 and he's already in the "hire a coordinator" stage of his tenure, it usually doesn't end well.

The fact that he's also the coordinator that needs to be replaced is another huge red flag.

It would be one thing if his system has had success at the P5 level. But it never has. He's only been an offensive coordinator twice. The first time he got fired due to performance. The second time the entire coaching staff was fired.

Another red flag is he was analyst and position coach under McElwain, who was himself fired as HC at UF. McElwain didn't even think highly enough of Napier to name him OC at Colorado freakin St when they left Alabama together.

This stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. Unless they catch some really lucky breaks, they're in serious trouble.

Oh darn.
