    What a horrible showing. We should never give up 30pts in the Swamp, let alone getting BLOWN the [7th alphabet letter] OUT. FAIL!!!!!!!!

    When you look at the talent that transferred, coaches that left including a strength coach who came- looked at us and said “nah I’ll go to BC”…, former players saying something isn’t right, recruits that defected… 5 losses to end the season, blowout to open it to instate rival at home… You have to say “something is very wrong here”

    That might not be a bad thing. If the AD really is as intransigent about “four years no matter what” as people think, then the fans need to weigh in. Hard.

    I've never been a fan. I never understood why we went after him. His offenses were never known to be anything, no identity. And we've seen it now for 2 years and 1 game.

    I'm sorry, but I cannot protect Billy Napier anymore. He is the head ball coach, and his O-line and D-line are NOT doing the Strength and Conditioning to prevent from getting run over. Squats and pushing sleds DO IN FACT WORK...

    Yeah very few true gems come available in the portal. So has to be mostly homegrown.

    Yep, that is how he won, convincing decent sized fish to come be trophies in a little pond.

    Who, if anyone, has the coaching squad polished into a gem?

    If money were no issue, I would agree with you. But at some point you have to think the cash has to run out.

    So I don't think the dilemma is "Napier v. Shiny New Coach."

    It's "Shiny New Coach + Napier Buyout v. Napier Until We Find a Replacement Worthy of Our Confidence and Money."

    We’ve turned into a school like Stanford that’s good at every sport that nobody cares about.
