Napier going to have to dump the offensive staff and lb staff before next year...they're dead weight on the trail..I get it, NIL is king now but we have some real issues at positions.

Haven't really graduated real engineers since '73. No knowledge of logarithms, scientific notation, order of magnitude estimation, can't use a sliderule, can't design without FEA and CFA, unplug and no results. And get off my lawn.
It’s okay, graduating lots of Lawyers;)

When that drop /add sheet had to add “cannot understand foreign instructor” in the 70’s….

At some point the applicants' thoughts were, "Yeah, if those professors insist on speaking English, they gotta speak slower."

Why, because they didn't bring in a top-5 class to a program with an untested coaching regime? That makes no sense. Frankly any elite/5* athlete who would sign with us right now, sight unseen as to what our team is actually going to look like on the field, may have questionable judgment.

Players who look well-coached and are productive (relative to their natural talent level) on the field this coming year will be a positive reflection on their position coaches. The recruiting season that follows will be when those coaches demonstrate whether they're capable of capitalizing on the competence they showed.

On the other hand if the players look like ass all year and the coaches don't show competence, then that's what they should be fired for, not for failing to bring in top recruits ahead of this season.

The whole offensive staff? Lol. How about lets get through an entire season of football and a full recruiting class year before we start talking about who needs to be fired? You are spare parts bud....give your balls a tug.

Either you can recruit or you can't. Great recruiters hit the ground running. I'd fire anyone who didn't land a 5*. Any body can coach 5*s.

That Utah game is going to be a big thing for Napier. That is a huge opportunity.

Brand new coach from the bush leagues, he gets zero benefit of the doubt and every game is a huge thing for him. I'm just saying that's when the judging starts. I don't get these guys who are forecasting the future based on current recruiting. He has no product to show recruits.

Im just saying that game is going to be huge. Opening night game in the Swamp against a team that is normally well coached televised for the whole nation. I bet there will be a ton of recruits. Its a huge opportunity to get people excited and momentum.

Woodlawn High - alma mater of Terry Bradshaw & Joe Ferguson. High level of competition. I’d much rather an LA recruit that CA.
