This article reads like Napier is running around smelling his own farts angling for a "premier" job. Screw him. If he can't make up his mind, SS needs to pooch kick his Billy Bob ass to the curb.
This is where we need a cold dose of reality.
To coaches in demand, UF is no longer considered a premier job. It is a second-choice job because of their lack of commitment to football. The LSU job is far, far more attractive to a coach. The dedication to lowering seating capacity at the Swamp has also been a turn-off.
At this point, all UF has going for it over the other schools is its physical location. Coaches know they aren't going to get the staff and other resources to win and win big. Even losing schools like Texas and Nebraska have a far bigger commitment to the football program. Hell, even Tennessee.
It appears we're at the point where Napier is trying to negotiate the resources he wants to run the program. None of us would be shocked if he's getting rebuffed on those requests. He's obviously not unhappy at ULL. He's turned down Auburn and Mississippi State already and he seems like the kind of guy that will just keep doing what he's doing until the right opportunity for him comes along. In the meantime, he's going to completely dominate the Sun Belt.
That will make some of you happy, because you prefer a flashy pass-happy dork who is going to flame out quickly.
If Napier tells SS to bugger off, the list of the idiots we are looking at is possibly WORSE than Tennessee-esque. All we can do is pray Stricklin sees the light, because this is the final tipping point. If the admin won't agree to commit to football starting NOW, we are looking at becoming the Nebraska of the south PERMANENTLY. You can forget being in the hunt for titles for the rest of our lives.
Jeremy Foley and his "arms race" attitude is what torpedoed this one-great program.
