Head Coaching Candidates Thread; Brian Kelly goes to LSU

[Swamp Donkey]

I was a Publix bagger in Gainesville in the summer and fall of 1994.

Were you highly organized?

Were you highly organized?

It caused maybe the only game I ever missed in the Spurrier era because I had to work. However, I can remember the score being announced on the PA system, which made me smile.

Gators 31
Vols 0

So that is where you got your start in the business?

No way it's Napier. No way.

LOL gonna pull a Vols fans, are we? Claim Napier is a sex offender or something? Go get 'em, tiger!

I for one would never stoop so low as claiming someone was a "sex offender" without out proper evidence but I can guarantee without a shadow of doubt Sling Blade has plowed at least 2 of his first cousins.

Yeah, he'll be "working hard wtihout a vacation" to put together the most pedestrian Sunbelt Conference offense possible with those Forest Gump cloned assistants he'll be bringing with him.

Anyone who decks Dabo can coach my football team anytime! I like my coach to be aggressive! Maybe he will take out a drunk dawg or vol fan. Just to keep in practice, of course.

I don't believe that about Dabo. Watch is locker room talks....he wouldn't deck a punching bag. Give me a break....

I've punched more people in the face in my lifetime than I can count, I guess I'm qualified to coach UF too?

We are talking about Napier decking Dabo for changing his play call without telling him he was doing it. Dabo did not change the blocking scheme as well and the QB got sacked.

I would have decked him too. Of course, I would have probably hit him hard enough to get fired.

No one GAF about the "punching" story. Go sit down somewhere and relax before you harm yourself.

You strike me as more the kind to b!tch slap.

You probably don't want to find out!

2 of the 4 post before you made this one was a dumbass jerking off about the "punching story". Sober up.

I actually prefer a 45 shot to the head! it works well with snakes and other varmints. But I am mostly a peace loving person who wants to live in harmony with my harem of beautiful women!

This really should be a no-brainer but by all means let’s bring on the rocket science.

and I do agree with this post. 100%. I don’t know if Lane is that. But I don’t think it’s Napier.

Just taking a quick glance at this year's OM schedule, he's done exactly what I described. Barely beat an Ark team because Pittman decided to end it(imagine the elation here if Mizzou fails on their 2pt try and we win Saturday). He barely hung on against the vols with a controversial ending. He got crushed by Alabama. He lost an indefensible game to Auburn. And won all the games he's supposed to with one decent win against what will be a 3-4 loss A&M team. All this with a Heisman front runner. Last year looked really similar. The 2009 vols and his teams at Usc did as well.

I have no take on Napier and you could be right. I just don't see anything that tells me LK is the guy that takes us further. Again, his record looks almost identical to Mullen's.

I think most all assistants at good at adapting schemes. Everyone that I have ever worked was pretty good at adapting. Mullen and Meyer did it all the time. So did SOS.

That’s fair. He definitely would not be a top choice.

I saw some chatter on line that Brian Kelly reached out to UF behind the scenes to gauge mutual interest. Take it with a grain of salt.
