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.
Interesting you say this. My in-law Barners were just telling me that Napier is the one they wanted instead of Harsin.If it is him it means we are committed to building up the program. Rumors about him declining the Auburn/USCe jobs last year are that they balked at the demands for $$ for infrastructure

Because our last few coaches were right in lock-step with the state media? Don't understand this take. What's the culture? To sit back and be lazy and let the inmates run the asylum?
If ever this destroyed program needed a no-nonsense hick, it's now.

I’m not sure I can, but I’ll try.I'm gonna give him a shot. I survived maclewain once, I can do it again.
Our state and local sports media is mostly a bunch of dolts. But dolts or not, they know the program is in ruins and they just want to win. I think they'll be all over Napier in a good way.The cache has been cleared. We’re starting fresh. It’s perfectly okay to construct the “best” candidate from top to bottom using the Ben Franklin method. Whoever it is wont be able to check every single box. You’re looking for the best fit based on a set of priorities.
I’m simply pointing out the obvious, that the honeymoon would be awkward and potentially short with a guy like Napier. It could get ugly. How does he and the media face adversity?
I feel this is a Mike White style hire. We'll see some uptick in recruiting (not hard) and a decent manager who will get us to decent bowls but no real chance to be competitive for championships regularly. He is even from the same general region as Mike White. This is Stricklin's default move.
He's a "safe" hire in that he'll do ok, but no real meat. If we are going to do that, I'd rather see us bring back somebody like Brian Johnson who showed great skills in adapting and recruiting and give him a chance to be great. If really Napier, we will have him for 7-9 years and be what Georgia was under Richt.
He would have been whining and crying no matter who the choice was. It's all he knows. This is a guy who hated Urban Meyer despite all the titles, for God's sake.Serious question; is your life really that miserable that you hang out on GC all day and cry and whine about every little thing.

One thing I heard during all this was getting this done "quickly". Stricklin was very big on not dragging this out.this is all fun and all but this search isn’t over yet. I have no sources but I don’t believe stricklins not going to reach out to a few candidates. it’s too big a hire.
