Billy Napier - UF Head Football Coach

[oxrageous]

Here we go aspiring to be Bama again. Pass.

Yeah, I can certainly see why other programs would have no interest in doing what it takes to become a dynasty. Pass.

I concur.

He was an arrogant prick, wasn't he...

Ballsy? I don't see that at all. Ballsy is to play to win. 3rd and 2 and you already decided you aren't going to punt? Then run clock and try to get a FD. Use 2 downs to run it down their throats, play to win. Or throw an incompletion taking no time off the clock then take a safety that means your opponent just went from needing a TD to only needing a FG. That's Grasseater coaching. Another low IQ guy who relied on run run run and a shltload of luck. Relying on luck (see Napier's W/L record in close games) always catches up with you because stats invariably revert back to the mean.

I'm not as negative as I sound on this hire, if like everyone else has said, he realizes this isn't the Sunbelt and he's going to have to delegate OC duties and basically scrap his sh;tfest offense if he wants to compete for championships at UF. But expecting an alpha who's hardheadedness is a lot of what got him to this point in the first place to recreate himself is probably wishful thinking.

Fascinating. Now he's won 31 out of his last 35 strictly from luck. What a streak!

He just beat the crap out of Freeze's team on Saturday.

Tallest midget is your proof that he's a recruiting guru? From appearances, he's a white redneck doofus that none of the elite kids in Florida have ever heard of. Will he be a better recruiter than dooshbag? It would be impossible not to be. But can he keep pace with Saban and Shart? No idea but he better have one helluva NIL plan in place because he has zero rep to draw them in and Numbnuts has made us an afterthought.

Allan Taylor, Gator sports writer was on Finebaum...it looks like Napier is their choice.

I just watched that. He was completely clueless. That was one of the worst interview performances I have ever seen. He was trying BS his way through the interview and Finebaum was disgusted with him.

 

[AnObfuscator]

Ahh that's right Corch, I forgot you rode with The Regulators.

Nice. Just listened to a podcast about him.

 

[NOLAGATOR]

Can he...any coach...recruit?

Can he adapt?

Can he build a successful staff?

Are his teams disciplined?

Winners win no matter what the competition...Saban, Urban, SOS, Bear...

I'm just tired of watching SLOPPY play in a Gator Uniform.

Ed O is the biggest, fattest, whitest, ugliest moron any of us have ever seen, yet he can recruit like nobody's business. Have you seen Kirby Smart? He looks and sounds like a dumber version of Gomer Pyle.

When are people going to realize looks (or speech) don't have anything to do with recruiting?

Damn, now I got to see this. Google machine here I come!

To answer your questions:

Yes, unknown, unknown, yes

Coach O could recruit at LSU...He's a down the bayou boy from Larose.

Recruiting here is not like anywhere else.

And yet Nola took it hook line and sinker.

Kiffin has played a garbage schedule this season(6-5 Austin Pee, 6-5 Louisville, 7-4 Liberty, 2-win Tulane, Vanderbilt, lame-duck Lsu, garbage Ark, first year ut and Aub), and is averaging 33 points a game.

Napier is playing with his peers, plus a P5 game against Texas, and is averaging 32, including 15 more points against the one common opponent, Liberty.

Not endorsing one over the other. Just providing some stats.

The most important stat is Kiffin is coaching in the SEC W and Slingblade in the Sunbelt. You bring up Texas, Napier got blown out by Texas, one of the worst teams in the P5. Like others have pointed out, he fell behind early and had zero chance of making a comeback with his ball control BS. If he doesn't change his offense drastically I think we are going to be looking at very Mullen/McElwain results without the dominating Utoothless part.

So you're telling me his entire recruiting class is from Louisiana?

Dude, Ed O has recruited well at every school he's been at - and it's been a LOT of schools all over the damn country.

It's all about relationship building! Who's the best salesman, no matter how much of a douche they are, is what true epic recruiting comes down to.

Bingo. We need to get on that train.
