I agree with that Ox has said. But the safety video has got me puzzled. I hope this is not his typical game management?
after stoops this is as good a choice as any. the hell with splash hires. was riley a splash? day? we don’t need entertaining pressers we need recruits and wins.
I just want someone who sleeps four hours fast.For a multitude of reasons, I feel confident Billy Napier will be named the next coach within the next 72 hours. There has already been much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over this hire, so I figured we could start a new thread about it. That way we can revisit it in a few years and see who was right and who was wrong.
This thread is only about Billy Napier, not any other coach. I would highly suggest you do what I did and start reading about Napier like I did - you might find out it's a better choice than you first thought. Everyone wants a "splash" hire, but what I personally wanted was someone who could tear down and build the program back up from the bottom, and someone who would work relentlessly to get it done.
By all accounts, Napier is a football lunatic in all facets, including recruiting. He's obsessed with football. You aren't going to hear about him going on any vacations. He may have also pulled UF into the 21st century by expanding the staff by leaps and bounds, something I'm sure he's insisted on.
What the results on the field are remain to be seen, but I think we found a guy that's going to do something we've been insisting on: raze it and build it up the right way.
So, we've already got upset people making fun of his dialect, his looks, his wife and kids, whatever. Go for it - do what you do. I'm going to give him a chance.
Discuss.
Scratched head over this decision
No doubt. I'm still secretly hoping it's Walt Bell.I'm just happy ox already called it for Napier, now we know for sure it won't be his ass.
Good God.This is Sunbelt Conference amateur hour bs. This is what we will be getting. Nothing creative but pedestrian offenses that other progressive SEC teams will eat up. This is a catastrophic hire. Were doomed for another half a decade.
I know this one!This is definitely the biggest question mark and what we're all wondering the most. How would Billy Napier use AR15? Enquiring minds want to know.
I think you used an extra O. Probably borrowed it from sling blade. Lord knows he has no use for it.No question. This one play makes me second-guess his entire tenure.
Good Good, you guys are insufferable.
it's really weird.I'm gonna give him a shot. I survived maclewain once, I can do it again.
Well he doesn’t have Dan’s awkwardness. Has a commanding presence here. I like what Ox said about fumigating the building and being a tireless program builder. So far I’m sold. Now watch it not happen.
they were both at their schools 2 seasons before getting the gig. Day was basically an nfl guy for the most part. Look, you all want great offense, an entertaining leader, but it’s just not there outside of stealing dabo or a few other with top jobs. I want a guy that can recruit and win. he’s done that. if he can do it in the sec we will find out.Those candidates were hired and groomed by their head coach, which you have a real leader at Head Coach, they groom their assistants to become greater. They are prepared for the next step. I know we haven't seen that in our organization since 2009.
will this is absolutely true.We aren't winning any titles any time soon

Wanna bet?Just because he can recruit and win but it's a bunch of 14-3 games.
