Napier to be hired at Florida?

[ADELPHI]

That's a really good hire for them

 

[RiDLer80]

Elite recruiter.

Seems to be a good program builder.

His teams do play down to their competition a little bit though.

He's at Louisiana Lafayette. They are the down competition.

 

[Mnhurricane]

If it does happen it feels like a really good hire on paper. No offense to Napier but I hope his career hits one **** of a speed bump for a few years in trailerville

I would've been pretty happy with Napier to UM, though would've preferred experience at a bigger program.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

I like Napier, but this is the exact hire that we said we didn't want. A G5 guy, up and comer with promise and potential but no proven success at the P5 level.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Sometimes a thread title is just screaming "Please add a question mark to the end of me so I'm legitimate!".

 

[Canedude08]

Who the F cares? If this is true, Florida rushed into a hire, provides additional legitimacy to the talk that their AD is a disaster.

Could it work out for him at Florida??? I wouldn’t be surprised if it did

But as you mentioned, Miami is not in a position to gamble at this point

 

[Canedude08]

Not was I was hoping for. Oh well.

The fact that Miami fans are quaking thinking about who UF may hire is beyond pathetic. Miami should run our race, a competent coach at Miami will win, period.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I think Napier is a decent coach. I think he will be slightly better than Mullen. If I’m picking a G5 guy, I maintain that I need to see dominant football like Meyer at Utah

 

[B Run]

How is it possible that anyone believes this news?? Mullen was fired yesterday!1 You think UF rushed to hire this guy? Side note: F UF

 

[Tad Footeball]

Potential bright side- IF this doesn't work out for them then they're stuck with a legitimate hillbilly just slightly below the Jamey Chadwell level. Recruiting against that will be even easier than against Norvell.

I don't really care, I was hoping the Bob Stoops stuff was true. While I think he is a good coach, surprised they would go that route. Seems like a middle of the road program move.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Maybe UF can take the risk on a G5 HC, but if I was advising UM, I'd stay away from any G5 HC except Fickell.

How is it possible that you think discussions in the athletic department about Mullen's firing and path forward only started yesterday?

preach it

 

[305407cane]

Hopefully they listen to the players. That always works out

 

[Dwinstitles]

What a good hire

 

[Dwinstitles]

This is like a Kirby Smart hire for them or Dabo?

Means they were talking to him for awhile
