I wonder if we've actually ever gone after Bob Stoops? Yeah his name has always been floated out there but I doubt we ever even called him.

Foley slept in his bed on the way to see Zook.

If Napier has already been hired, I'd like to know how long the interview was and what were hard hitting questions. It's barely more than 24 hours. Did strick check for a pulse and offer immediately?
I’d bet he’s been talking to his agent for weeks.

Let me see if I got this right. Napier looks like Sling Blade, sounds like Billy Bob and coaches like Earle Bruce. I can’t wait.

Yeah I agree. I still don’t get the hate at all other than I think he was not expected. If he works out he’s here for a long time. If he doesn’t we’re doing this all again in a few years, and are likely in better shape for the next guy. Players and recruits seem to be intrigued. Supposedly a machine like approach. I’m ok with the hire even if it wouldn’t be my first thought. I think you know what you’re getting with LK and some are just ignoring it. Some of the other names as well.
Kiffin comes with baggage and probably wouldn't be long term. But we know that we know he can win in the SEC . He's been up and down his whole career but you're gonna some double digit win years and some explosive offenses at the very least. We don't know Napier's not the 2nd coming of Mike Norvell.

This is Butters/Cousin Eddie 2.0 Guys already trying to talk themselves into believing we've got the next Bear Bryant on the hook while in the same breath listing out all the things that "if he does this" he "might be great." Oh my Lord somebody perform an intervention on these people.

Picking a coach is like drafting a player in the NFL, some hit some bust.

Give me Kiffen. Will he better or worse than Napier? Who knows.

At least he’ll be entertaining, and taking him to Knoxville will be epic. I’m tired of boring coaches:

Muschamp’s 3 yards and a cloud of dust, followed by a pissed off presser about a midline. Nope

Mac: retarded on and off the field. Nope

Mullen: sideways offense and “virgin for life” demeanor. Nope.

At least Lane will give me some $hits and Giggles, and could hit. Napier could hit, but bringing him to Knoxville will be 5% as much fun.

Honestly, we have no idea whether Lane Kiffin can win the games that matter in the SEC. The evidence suggests he cannot. Dan Mullen has been closer against Alabama in his two tries than LK, and also has the head to head. At both ut and now at OM, he’s beaten the teams he should beat and lost the ones in question. It was exactly the same at USC. We just fired that.

Lotta boo hooing and nothing has even been announced. If it is Napier you need to save some of your negative energy and one liners. Pace yourselves.

The Dan Mullen bus left town already. Did you miss it? Destination Jax I guess.
