I have said this many times.
Napier would have been a great hire from a recruiting standpoint about the time we hired Butters. His approach may have been successful 8-10 years ago but building long term relationships and a family culture is an anachronism today.
Only three things matter:
1. Pay me
2. Develop me for the NFL
3. Win with me or I go elsewhere
It appears that we are addressing the first one currently.
While I do believe this is prevalent and is a big part of today's environment, I refuse to believe this is 100% accurate and that it can be applied to every player we go after.
I think, for the kids in our locker room, that they're happy to be a part of something wholesome and are happy CBN is going after his "type" player.
Moreover, all the successful teams I've been a part of in my military career also had the majority of its members that would fit into this category.
While it's rare, good still prevails.
