Billy Napier

[shawnb82]

Can we please not go down this road again. We can not keep hiring guys that have been on Saban’s staff. Napier was at Alabama twice for a total of 5 years. Have we not proved, time and time again, that this does not work for Tennessee.

Or anybody else for that matter.

 

[shawnb82]

Exactly.

 

[Orange DNA]

He turned down auburn. Doubt you have to worry about him coming here.

 

[Skippy95]

Napier would be at least the second best coach in the east. Stupid

Bud, at this point, you better beg Napier to come here. I think some of y’all are really underestimating how dire this situation is.

Napier needs to go-to a place like Wake Forest.

 

[OrangeMound]

At this point we need to pony up and get a proven Head Coach. No more of this diamond in the rough bull ****.

 

[ACvol3]

He’s the favorite to land than UT job according to Vegas...

Why

 

[Cartervol]

This kind of hire will only end like the last 3 have. Just go with Steele if this is the path, it's a dead end, again..

 

[jaybird_1981]

No way do I want this guy. Him taking that safety against App State was probably the dumbest coaching decision I have ever seen in a college football game.

 

[rcrrcr]

no way do we want him! He is a great recruiter, has SEC coaching staff experience, he was born in Tennessee and he is a winner!!! Does not fit the bill for anyone we have hired in a long time. See Johnny Majors and Phil Fulmer.

 

[cncchris33]

I'm guessing OP's top 5 candidate list is probably...
1. Gruden
2. Bob Stoops
3. Fulmer
4. Bruce Pearl
5. Tony Romo

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

With what we are looking at right now and what may come down on us later I would def take Napier.

I agree with this and we’re both likely going to be disappointed.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

People acting all high and mighty on here is laughable. We don’t need another Bammer blah, blah, blah. If Napier wants the job we should hire him.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

We are in such crappy shape we’ll be fortunate to get anyone decent.

 

[Mccage]

Napier would be a shot in the upper deck. Your know nothing about football if you don't think he can coach!!! He's turned down South Carolina, Miss. ST, and Auburn. He has a plan and I hope it's Tenn.

 

[mj755]

Will Healy?

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Weve got a qualified Interim in Steele, no AD, its Jan 20th and yall are talking about bringing in a new head coach. Let Steele take the lumps then reassess in 21. If anything it just offers us another yr of evaluation for these up and comers. Nothing bad comes from waiting a yr and riding with Steele. Hell, the NCAA hasn't even come down on us yet. We need some patience.

Guess again. And how about some original thought instead of attacking the OP.

It’s laughable that you believe we have droves of candidates out there that want to come here. We’d be hard pressed to get Napier to answer the phone call.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd take him over Chadwell
