No sir. I am THRILLED beyond belief that he's gone. Hopefully he stays gone. If it comes out that Napier pushed him out, then I'll absolutely bust a nut.

There's no way Napier didn't push him out. He's a 33 y/o DC at an SEC school and he's going to take an assistant LB coach job in the NFL. The Cardinals aren't paying their assistant LB coaches $1mil/year. This is a step down for Toney (he never should have been given the job in the first place). The new hire (Armstrong) is another LB's coach - I wonder if he'll coach the safties.

Good riddance. Toney never should have been hired in the first place. A 33 y/o wet-behind-the-ears DC from the Sun Belt handed the keys to the defense of a program that should be competing for SEC and National Championships? I guess the only thing smarter to do is roll the dice on a 29 y/o DC from the Sun Belt and hope for different results

Austin was JUST hired as ILB coach at Bamma. He hasn't even unpacked his bags yet.

@williston_gator - I was shocked and dismayed when I realized you were wallowing in bed at 1:12 a.m. last night instead of reading GC.

Armstrong -
He started rising as a coach during two years as a defensive graduate assistant for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns in 2017 and 2018.
Armstrong helped former Saban assistant Billy Napier take Louisiana to a share of the Sun Belt West Division title in 2018.
The Ragin’ Cajuns made it to the Sun Belt Championship Game in Napier’s first season. Armstrong assisted the team to a berth in the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando, Fla. He decided to learn from another former Saban assistant in 2019 as Armstrong took his talents to the University of Georgia and learned under Kirby Smart as a defensive quality control coach.
