Listen to these guys. Basically saying we’re cheap af.
Napier might need to give up the dual role but he probably won't unless forced to.
Helfrich isn't a grand slam because he's an awful recruiter.
Wide recievers can't look bad when you aren't throwing to them that's for sure....His WRs at Bama were a lot better than his TEs at Clemson. We know he can coach WRs and do a really good job with it.
I didn't hear that at all from them. They opined that UF should not have fired Mullen to go get a Napier type coach. They felt that if you fire Mullen, you better be going after a bigger name.
I can say that I agree with that. I think you want to get the best fit for you not the biggest name.
We'll see. Dude sounds a little too good for me. And too much of a goodie two shoes for me. And we've heard great things about previous hires. But at least we had heard of them and had some read. We know little about Napier because he hasn't been on anybodies radar.He immediately revamped the whole system at ULL, recognizing and insisting that it was the only way to win there. He’s not going to come here and pretend that everything’s fine. There’s no evidence at all to suggest that he doesn’t at least get what has to be done. There’s visible evidence to the contrary.
And you don’t know UF well enough to know that at least part of the reason is because of money?

I'll be the first to admit its a bad year to go after a coach and the pickings are pretty slim. I'm with you on one point- our only path is to go and get a less experienced HC that has shown success and experience. My problem with Napier is his seemingly aversion to go downfield or to have a competent downfield game. He's number six in the Sunbelt Conference in passing. That does not bode well for us.....I think of there was a definitive Meyer out there, and we didn’t go that route, their point is valid. But where they are wrong is that Mullen was doing damage and we had to make a move. I’d love to see a total slam dunk available out there but I don’t. We’re stuck either getting a younger, less experienced HC/Coordinator or a retread that hasn’t technically accomplished anything.

Even the good things about him are red flags:
"Fiercely loyal to assistants and players": We know what that means.
Listen to the pod casters that have covered him for 4 years.
When asked if he'd play talent over seniority they said TBD.
He's a family man that studies football day and night. I want a coach who can't remember the last time he saw his family and recruits day and night. Also they described him as a "comfortable" recruiter. Honestly that sounds like he's recruiting family members.
why people rhink these alpha alphas are going to change.Yes, but I think he needs to give up OC/QB coach duties.

Where we agree is that we’ll have to see. Other than that, I think we’re looking for issues, in large part, because of our own recent history. If it were 2011, we’d be fine. Anyone who takes the approach he’s taken to recruiting and structure of a program is wanting to win. If he losing, he’s not standing by and keeping failed assistants. There’s nothing to support that.
As for player selection, his QB is a Sr but has started since he was a Sophomore. His top RB the year is a Soph, followed by a Freshman. The guy with the least amount of carries is a Jr.
He holds himself accountable and gives good and honest answers at press conferences

Approach? In the Sunbelt I bet all you have to do to a recruit a player IS approach him.
Must've been tough. /s
We're soo desperate some of you are not looking for issues.
