I’m not saying Napier is the second coming of Saban and I don’t think it’s a home run hire for Florida at all….but most who are commenting on that clip are acting as though the ESD is the only time to sign recruits. He also has February and, most importantly, had the transfer portal to get some talent.

True, on transfer portal.

As for February, I wouldn’t count on that if I were him. There aren’t enough kids that wait anymore.

(Honestly, I would bet they end up signing a majority of the kids they currently have committed on ESD).

Yeah, wonder if Florida just managed to hire a worse recruiter than Mullen.

Old Billy Napier's never recruited a class in the top 65 even in Louisiana and winning. Even Dan was able to get a top 20 class twice in his tenure at Mississippi State...

Mississippi State is in the SEC…. I hate Miss St but can’t believe you compared recruiting there to recruiting at Louisiana haha.

Huepel never broke the top 60 at UCF and he will prolly get a top 20 class this year. You don’t know how good or bad Napier will be at recruiting until next years class and I’m sure it’ll be around top 20 as well.

Oh but your lazy boy opinion is mo betta than mine. Lol

I have history on my side. You've got nothing. What has Pruitt accomplished without the aid of being on superior teams under great head coaches? Zero, nada, zilch. His three rings are no more impressive than. The ring on the walkon, backup 6 string kicker on those national championship teams. He's a poser.

As to the Lady Vols, I think Holly has some rings too. How'd that work for her.

And since you're so quick to minimize my basketball knowledge why don't you tell me what type of offense ol' Kelky is employing?

I've already wasted enough time on your silly a**. Nick Saban, or Jimbo Fisher, or Mark Richt are arguing for me now. I have THEM on MY side...a combined what, 10 to 15 National Championships. Add those to Pruitt's 5, not 3, and that's anywhere from 15 to 20 National Championships combined. THAT'S the history that I have on my side. And, don't even get me started on all of the combined conference championships all those men have, plus all the wins. All on my side.

Now, I see that you're probably a man that argues with 15 to 20 National Championships, 16 Conference Championships, and 556 wins, so...knock yourself out.

Also...how did it work out for Holly? Worked to the tune of 172 wins, a 72% winning percentage, 3 Conference Championships, 8 NCAA Tournaments, 3 Elite Eights. What has the Lazy Boy or Samsung or Phys Ed brought you?

What recruits was he able to get as primary when he was at Clemson? I think that's a more accurate metric.

I think Heupel's highest rated class at UCF was in the low 40s, but we are likely to break the Top 20 in his first year.

Edit: to that end- Cincy 2020 ranked 41, 2021 ranked 45, and 2022 currently sitting at 28 after an undefeated season and CFP berth. National relevance matters as much as the recruiting prowess of the staff.

We're gonna have to empty the bank to pay him next year (assuming we continue to improve).

no we wont. he won 7 games. let's not gret ahead of ourselves. just because the others are shelling out big bucks, doesnt mean we have too.

I fully trust AD White to make an educared calculated decision. This isnt Hammy or Fulmer.

Which makes it even more unbelievably stupid that he would cheat in the patently obvious way he was cheating here. If he didn't do that, he might be Saban's DC right now.

I think he was doing all the things that are done at Bama, UGA, Ohio St. I just believe he was such an a**hole, an unbelievably massive one, he lost faith of the admins and athletic department, and they burned him whenever the dam broke loose.

He was doing it in an incredibly sloppy way. I guarantee you Alabama does not hand players cash in McDonald's bags in broad daylight.

"Complete fraud" is different from "bad head coach." Pruitt is perfectly fine at some aspects of football coaching.

I am an employee at a company, do a job for them, and I guess am pretty good at it, but I would probably fail if I started by own business. Am I a complete fraud?

I was thinking about starting a business to fail as well. We should connect
