It was year 4 at UL he built the team he wanted with the recruits he wanted.... that was his vision.

But would not that the point of securing the commitment of the AD to fund the staff, to also have a supposedly great OC? He is not going to pull a Mullen and try to be HC and OC, right?

He already announced he was going to be OC and quarterback's coach...

Does he even have an offense? I doubt he brings in an OC and says he has to run the same offense as UL.
If you watch the video in the op, that’s his offense.
Guy that compiled the video says it’s a run first offense similar to what Sarkisian runs.

There are RPO components , yet not very many QB dive plays.
Qb will not be leading the team in Rushing.

To me, it looks like run and run as long as you’re moving the chains.
Run until the defense starts creeping up in the box then throw.

Also looks like he likes a “featured back”.
Best back will play the most.

In my opinion
This offense looks like a 400 to 450 ypg total offense average.

More against lesser teams, less against better teams.

Fine, Nappier has hired Darnell Stapleton to coach our OL? From his Louisiana team.
We get the usual coach bio resumaybe -- so.? How about getting anonymous evaluations from prior linemen he has guided.? Especially ones who went on to be coaching somewhere now. How did Stapleton impact their playing & their coaching success.? {DoesStapleton have coaching success in this area.?} Not being critical = my hope is to hear positive regards. That would be most valid would it not.? Instead of reading the standard coach-bio which usually is filled with "kissing your sister" W-L ties.?? How has that coach affected his face-to-face past notable players.?

Lots of similarities. Can't wait for it.

Bio referenced BNs 2009 season with Clemson where Napier was OC and QB coach. Researching 2009 numbers say a lot about his style. 192 YPG Passing and 172 YPG Rushing for total 362 YPG. Relatively balanced offense with CJ Spiller as the featured back you reference. Spiller had a monster year with 1200 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving. Top receiver was Jacoby Ford with total 900 all purpose yards . At his PC BN talked about building a team from the line of scrimmage, offensive and defensive line. Proven formula that we see in Bama UGA and other .successful programs.
Agree that his O is run first and then throw when available, with plenty of play action. In 2009 it looks like almost 40% of QBs passes went to Spiller and the TE. Could be the blueprint of what Napier Ball could look like at UF. Featured back with quality OL can excel here. Five star Matt Corral type stud QB that takes the top off the Defense, not so much.

This offense requires a stellar Defense.
If we are going to average around 400 yds a game on offense, we better be damn good in the red zone and if we’re losing by more than one score in the 4th qtr., we are in deep do do.

How do you feel about that system philosophy? I would like to think he evolves.

True. But having a background with Saban he might see the value of an offensive philosophy executed by a stand alone OC so he can focus on the entire team. Maybe he should take Mullen’s failure to heart. He also obviously is going to need run blocking personnel and an OL coach that can teach it.

Not sure what to think about that.
For a guy who is going to be jumping up multiple competition levels... I don't like it. This isn't like Urbs jumping from Utah, SunBelt might be the lowest of the G5 conferences. And of the teams in that conference they would be in the top three recruiting schools due to location alone in that conference. This is a big jump for a guy that is going to have to divide his attention.

Seems obvious he needs a real OC.

Cautiously optimistic?

He may realize he needs an OC for game prep and game day management.
He may realize he needs an OC for play calling and Overall offensive strategy.

Whichever the case is, he’s going to eventually need an OC.

I think he’s being Naive’ right now.
Too many loose ends and too many overall decisions to be made In regards to each weeks opponent, to be choked with being the OC.
