To me, it just goes to show that if you and only you pay a coach 5 or 10 million dollars, you can pick your guy. If everybody pays the coach 5 or 10 million dollars, you get absolutely nothing. Nothing you can do but pick somebody at random and plus you're out 5 or 10 million dollars.I’ve been wrong plenty in my day, but I just don’t see this Napier dude working out down there.
Butch-like move by UF imo
Florida files trademark application around Billy Napier’s popular catch phrase
Honestly there’s not a lot of “great surefire” candidates available these days so midmajor hit and misses is the best most can doIn the last 5 months, Florida has hired both a new head football (Napier) and a head basketball coach (Todd Golden) who were virtual unknowns. Are there budget concerns in Gainesville? If so, how did that happen? It doesn't make any sense.
Napier was an unknown to all but the most avid of college football fans. Unless you are an Alabama fan and remember his time there as a WR coach ... It's more likely than not, that you had never heard of him prior to being hired by Florida. Nobody becomes well-known among average fans, by coaching at Louisiana Lafayette.Napier was not an unknown.
Golden on the other hand…

Meh... You could say he was a well-known commodity among athletic directors, prior to being hired at Florida... but I would say 9 out of 10 college football fans outside the state of Louisiana, could not have told you who the head coach of Louisiana Lafayette's football team was last September.Napier was not an unknown in the football crazy southeast, as he turned down several SEC head coaching jobs prior to taking the UF job.
Golden yes, Napier no.

A public service to save you the click baiting. His phrase is “scared money don’t make money” which has been around forever and in no way is unique to this guy?
