OT: but lol... Billy Napier...

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Florida: Billy Napier's deal is 7 years, $51.8 million per the AP. Deal begins at $7.1 million and increases by $100,000 each year.

They just paid a Sun Belt coach $7.4M a year??

That's more than Ryan Day and Kirby Smart make. And he's bringing at least two guys from his FCS staff with him?

Oh, I am here for this.

Jimbo Fisher and then more recently Mel Tucker reset the market

I know, but no way you pay Napier that kind of money. Even within the new valuations thats a big overpay IMO.

 

[dycane]

I say this objectively, that guy is set up to fail big.

Guy is a good coach. You can grab good coaches from G5 schools.

Our fan base is still overreacting to the golden failure

He also said he would call the plays

This is the new wave. You can expect more of these type contracts going forward. This isn’t nothing compared to when say coaches like Ryan Day and Dabo are due for their new deals.

 

[miamian01]

He wasn’t a FCS coach. Louisiana-Lafayette is G5. He will be calling plays and coaching the QB’s as well. He will have multiple OLine coaches.

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

ha, coach ain't even making 8M's. straight poverty. can't relate.

We'll see how good he is or isn't.

FWIW, LSU never showed any interest after dumping Coach O

Double-A, Triple-A... whatever!

Like I've been saying, that's the new market. That's why the idea of any kind of "discount" for Kiffen, or anyone, is a pipe dream. We're throwing in with the big boys which means we're ponying up like the big boys. Napier's resume doesn't matter. It's who he's signing on the dotted line with. Whole bunch of people about to get overpaid.

So we should move to the Sun Belt and dominate?

 

[TheRichtShow]

The Napier hype on here is the EXACT SAME as the Norvell hype. Half our fanbase think UF/FSU can do no wrong.

He might work out, but UF should be able to make a Riley type hire if that job is half as good as they claim

You can grab bad ones too

You can grab bad P5 coaches as well. Napier is a good coach. Not saying he is Saban or Meyer, but the market is what it is.
