Now We Know Why Napier Has Not Been Fired

I think we could be red-shirting a bunch of players for next year and I do believe we have a smallish class, but we still get what we need from the high school level for the future. We'll get the rest from the portal.

This is an all or nothing 2025 season for Napier next year.

 

I thought 2024 was the “prove it” year but then we got blown out in our first two games after Napier told us how good this team was. It seems the goal posts keep moving.

 

Sorry, Rick, but that’s what 2024 was supposed to be. Napier delivered nothing, but he got all anyway. I have zero reason to believe 2025 holds anything different. Yes, some of these players, such as Lagway, show exceptional promise, but they will still suffer from the same coaching. Would still love be proven wrong over the next two games, though.

 

I've come to conclude that this was just Napier's handlers (Sexton) spinning the narrative. I'd put all my chips on that those two schools heard Napier's ridiculous salary expectations and passed, not the other way around. Unfortunately, our sucker took the bait, hook, line, and sinker.

 

Not universally. I thought it was bit of a head-scratcher particularly with the unearned contract we gave him.

 

IN just signed their guy to contract extension for 8 years. 8 mill a year and increased ast. coaches money.

You know, I'm not in charge of the goal posts... the AD is.

I, too, thought it was 2024.

 

FSU followed suit even though they saw how ATM flamed out with FSU's former coach. I just don't understand the angst to give any coach (outside of Nick Saban) that kind or contract.

 

He’ll still come here for 5 though and no guaranteed money. We’re UF!

 

The thing is that being successful in both isn't mutually exclusive. Any Presidential hopeful that would prioritize a $180M revenue stream over a $5B one should never be considered as a candidate. Any Presidential candidate that indicated that they couldn't manage to oversee successful ventures in both areas (or would ignore the $180M stream) shouldn't be either.
