Did I really read that Napier at Miami would be able to outrecruit mario at UF? Just goes to show that they have no concept of what is actually happening. They can’t fathom that Mario and his A+ staff have a track record, have built a relationship, and he likely feels most comfortable with them for his future. Because of that, we don’t necessarily have to offer the most money. Because Napier is an unproven jackass, they have to overpay because they do not have that track record

I cackled at that one as well.

Mario Cristobal, at Oregon, secured multiple Top 10 classes, something that hadn't been done there in at least over a decade.

Billy Napier, obviously, has never sniffed anything close to a Top 10 class in his career as a HC, which has been entirely at ULL.

So let me get this straight. A guy who has PROVEN he can do it at this level, securing Top 10 classes at a place where there is very little local talent, would be out-recruited by a guy who has literally zero track record of elite recruiting if the schools were swapped? They type this **** with a straight face?

Ask @TheOriginalCane - that’s 100% Smurphy dying on his hill. When we hired Mario and they got Napier he called Mario everything from a mediocre to an average to above average recruiter and I think above average came later. He also called a chunk of our staff washed. The only one he praised was Kevin Smith - called him a stud. But he hates Mario obviously. I just point out every chance I get how ridiculous he is on this.

On that board, he’s actually one of the top posters IMO but he’s just going to die on this hill.

AFTER being the RECRUITING COORDINATOR at the best school in the country? Also at the same time as Napier was there.

Under Saban from 2013-2016:
One guy was just the wide receiver coach for 3 years.
One was the assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator, AND OL coach for the same 3 years.

Out of curiosity, did he only think Kevin smith was a stud because he came from the SEC?

As if. Hey, at least the Gaytors "got him", that is to say, the odds-on favorite for the job...

They don’t even have the self awareness to understand the significance of last years coaching carousel. I mean, USC broke the bank to get Lincoln Riley, a proven head coach. LSU broke the bank to get Brian Kelley, a proven head coach. Miami broke the bank to get Mario cristobal, a proven head coach. All moves that were a necessity to stay relevant. They settled for a sun belt coach. How can they compete in this modern football world without taking these big risks
