Billy Napier to Florida

[Lawrence Wright]

FSU says HI!

Tell FSU I said hello, and best wishes for better luck next time they play us in football and hoops.

Will do! Do not worry you will catch Vanderbilt in recruiting! Keep the NIL contracts going, the rest of the SEC loves it!

We love you guys too.

My bigger concern, if I were a Florida fan, is all the hats Napier is going to wear. He wants to be the HC, QB coach, and offensive play caller.

That sounds like their last coach doesnt it?

I was gonna say Spurrier

He told them to look elsewhere, you'd know that if you were paying attention...Things are about to get super interesting now that this staff is starting to take shape.

Yeah, I'd say that too if my class was imploding just weeks before NSD. What else are you going to tell yourself?

 

[Forever151]

When people are comparing your head coach to Butch Jones that’s probably not a good thing LMAO

Tennessee fans have used that same line for years when a coach they drooled over started off terribly. So maybe just maybe they’re throwing it in our faces as usual.

Bump

I'm ecstatic, Nape was my guy from the start...I was sweating bullets LSU was coming in last second to swoop him away...So happy, this guy is the real effing deal.

I love looking at these threads in reverse

 

[Rickyvol77]

Napier has a better resume than anyone we've hired since Majors.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Napier beat an average Iowa St team once. And no other even decent teams

Shut up what do you know

 

[Jax_Vol]

I would have thought both of those two jobs could have attracted better, and more experienced, coaches than Miss State /Ole Miss.

Surprising

Hey hey hey......from January of 2021.

Hiring Billy puzzled me.


Unsure if the second job I referenced was Arkansas, but hiring Sam Pittman also seemed a reach.

 

[Rickyvol77]

I'm aware of his record, his coaching pedigree, and all the things that have been said about him...And again, you're gonna figure all that out soon enough.

We figured it out all right

Bush League Billy...

This is a very good hire for Florida, especially recruiting-wise. Napier can really tap into all the talent that comes out of Louisiana.

This post aged like milk lol.

There are no guarantees. Resume is as positive as it can be.

Sometimes things that make sense don’t work out and sometimes they don’t.

Heard he is a good recruiter. Hope that is true. Anthony Richardson is his first recruit

Ringing endorsement at the time
