    Doing what in the conference? His record is 4-23 in conference games since 2021. It was a massive upset beating Bama. But in that same season he lost to Georgia State.

    winning one huge game isn’t a resume by itself.

    To the letter of the law?

    Perhaps.

    Push come to shove, in court?

    Perhaps.

    Straight up real?

    Nah. Straight up, he done us dirty if he takes the whole deal with no mitigation (...and there are always algles to argue in court, to ...get to a more realistic/ appropriate end point).

    Not caring that he is a good guy is not the same as believing a corrupt or morally bankrupt person should never be considered, if that is the straw man you are trying to build.

    You keep proudly proclaiming that you basically have no value for character in our head coach. Just win. I’m not building anything here

    We need to quit pretending and get ready for the Lane Train. It is lining up well and I am hopeful he can salvage DJ. More talent on this team than the process allows, which can be rectified by a competent coaching staff. Napier is a good guy but in way over his skis...

    Exactly... we don't have the top talent, but talent isn't the main reason why we lost 3 games so far...

    But I just said I do. I DO care that a coach is not a toxic POS. I don't care if he is shaking hands and kissing babies. To summarize, just don't be a bad person, it's simple.

    Where someone goes to school is becoming less important. There are only a few cases where candidates get an edge.

    Sports absolutely drives name recognition.

    Most people cannot tell you where many Ivys are located or even name half of them.

    Every SEC school has higher name recognition than Rice, Carnegie, Wash U, etc.

    I get it they want additional funding and they want to make money. Thats fine, but let’s call it what it is.

    There is nothing wrong with wanting to be Rice. But they’d be losing a lot of passion and a lot of donors.

    That's about as clear as mud, given your earlier posts on this topic.

    Nah. What you are saying is win at all costs but do not call it that!

    I have scruples though and Lane kiffen is way too low..

    And if you want me to spend the next 10 pages listing all the despicable things that "Joey Freshwater" AKA "Lane the idiot" has done. (Particularly with underage girls and tried to do with Nick Saban's daughter) I will be glad to but most of it will be removed.

    He is that big of a scumbag.

    It will get pretty gruesome on here.

    Lane Kiffen" is a grade A number 1 dirt bag.

    No ifs, ands or buts about it.

    He just beat Kentucky too and if they aren’t ranked, they should be. If you’re not impressed by what’s on on at Vandy, I don’t know what to tell you. They aren’t supposed to win any sec games.

    I’m shocked Napier even got to this spot in his career

    Let’s say you ran things at Miss St.

    Would you hire Napier as HC? No

    As OC? No

    As QB coach? No

    Anything D? No

    Special teams? No

    Recruiting? Maybe…


    Muschamp clearly would be hired any D spot

    Mullen clearly would be hired at any O spot or even HC

    Mac would be hired as QB coach or maybe even OC…

    Napier may literally be so toxic that he may be a QB coach at a G5 school.
