Better than Billy Taggart but not as good as Kiffin.

He doesn't call plays and hired some good OCs.

 

Your post reminds me that I kind of miss Themistocles. He had controversial opinions but he was always good for some interesting posts.

 

Oof I'm not sure I'm thaaat out there lol but I do go off on tangents sometimes.

 

You’re not. That guy was looney toons.

 

This…

 

Meh

 

lol. I meant it in a good way. Lots of good info in your post

 

I'm just kidding. Thank you. Appreciate it. Lord knows I have my share of wrong takes.

Yep, not even close in my book.

Based on his prior history Dickey's hire made far more sense and he actually won some big games and made major bowl games before all it took was a .500 record to get one. In the end tho, he failed.
It seems Napier defenders are still in denial as to just how bad it's been. .

 

How old were you when Dickey was HC at Florida?

 

No idea why it matters, but ...Smart ass question or a real one?

 

There's bad game management and then there's bad game management. No doubt that was horrible coaching taking the safety in that situation, being up only 3. Classic Billy Napier. However, I would argue there was at least a reason to that madness, whereas there is no plausible explanation for going for it on 4th and 1, at your own 34, up 18 points late in the 3rd quarter and your defense hasn't surrendered a touchdown yet. If the play had failed and UCF scored quickly, we may well have lost the game and this place would have melted down. Of course, he's getting a pass because they converted. But he would not have had a plausible excuse in his back pocket if they had failed like he did with the safety at Louisiana.

You are probably right that he is not sabotaging purposely. He truly is this bad as a coach. After reading that story about the safety at Louisiana, it feels like he wants to be the smartest guy in the room and overthinks things.

 

Probably wears the school colors sometimes at games too.

 

It’s a 12,000 seat stadium. I wonder if they got an exemption for not having the required 15,000 average attendance to be in the FBS.

 

I wonder where this dental you speak of is coming from. I don’t see it.

 

Real one

 

That story reminded me of an old saying that seems appropriate for Napier:
“Often wrong but never in doubt.”

Everyone talks about him as a nice guy but it feels like we are in a car on a family vacation with a dad who insists we are nearing Disney world while the road signs say “Amarillo 10 miles” and the gas gauge nears empty.

 

Clark Napier?
