We hired a lumberjack. No more free weights or machines. We’re sawing logs.

I didnt know he is Mormon til I saw his family get off the plane yesterday. They believe in maybe the craziest story of any religion. Kinda hard to take him seriously. Will his family wear gator gear to games or will it be those cult ish looking dresses and hair styles? No offense to any Mormons in here. Nvm idc if you are offended. That **** is crazy.
You think Napier is looking to add some Sister Wives to his staff?

So that's why they're called Mor-Mons.

The fact that it takes someone like Sling Blade to instruct the AD of a P5 school in the SEC (not named Vandy or UK) where only football should matter or does matter, on how to run a dept. and what you need to be successful is in and of itself a complete and total embarrassment. You have to ask an expert what the problem is when hundreds of experts can't solve the problem.

Still, we can be thankful that Strickland, hired as a leader is willing to learn from our new & different coach and our AD leader is willing to follow.


Mullen never flamed on.
Mullen was flame retardant.

Lumberjack with the Bounty of absorbing recruits.

It is not the first time a$$sniffers compete for a NC. Committing to such massive increase in resources and spending is not Stinkinglings decision. This goes far above his head. Glad it is finally happening. Hopefully it is not BS.

Think that "Gatorbait is racist so I'm banning it" Fuchs actually cares anything about football here? Stricklin is way more dialed in than that empty-stuffed shirt. Credit where it's due - Stricklin saw the train coming, got Billy on speed dial and sh!tcanned the root cause. He had clearly been researching this hire for a long time while Dorky Dan was busy making a joke out of his $7.6M/yr job.

He looks a little middle eastern with that beard don't you think? Anyhow, it was a failed attempt at humor.

Ah ok now I get it. I thought you were referring to metal detectors and piercings but didn't see any.

I read somewhere that Billy Napier had worked somewhere with Butters and holds a high
opinion of the guy. It seems that Billy is impressed with his work with quarterbacks and
working with the Offense. I hope he doesn't get any bright ideas about bringing him
back, as I now hear that Billy has been in contact with him. Article follows:


  • When McElwain departed after the 2011 season to become head coach at Colorado State, he brought Napier with him. Napier returned to Alabama after one season at Colorado State and tutored future first-round receivers Amari Cooper and Calvin Ridley. McElwain gave Napier strong reviews during their time together.
