I read somewhere that Billy Napier had worked somewhere with Butters and holds a high
opinion of the guy. It seems that Billy is impressed with his work with quarterbacks and
working with the Offense. I hope he doesn't get any bright ideas about bringing him
back, as I now hear that Billy has been in contact with him. Article follows:
- When McElwain departed after the 2011 season to become head coach at Colorado State, he brought Napier with him. Napier returned to Alabama after one season at Colorado State and tutored future first-round receivers Amari Cooper and Calvin Ridley. McElwain gave Napier strong reviews during their time together.
