    UAA does pay coaches.

    UAA does not pay NIL money.

    It's not a theory.

    Money is fungible. If the UAA hits its budget target it can easily encourage additional NIL funding. It has to make up the shortfall for the nacho crew somehow. Now I’m assuming the UAA doesn’t throw the money to additional parking police or the like

    Other than Napier, how many coaches are still here from his original staff? 3? 4?

    Rick, some of us have that opinion because it's true. Anyone really following the Napier program at least suspected as much and I do not believe the author is being harsh, but verbalizing what some of us, hopefully most of us and our AD, already figured.

    Yeah, I agree... I doubt the writer of that piece knew what really happened between Saban and Kiffin...

    If you're only comparing against a top-notch football coach, you should compare only against a top-notch rocket scientist. I don't think Saban and Meyer stack up against Von Braun and Musk well. Silly topic though, so, I'll move on.

    I've seen mild coaches win and I've seen demanding type coaches win, coaches have different personalities and they are who they are. The bottom line is wins and losses. It still comes down to success or failure on the field. It still comes down to recruiting, developing, inspiring, staffing, coaching and scheming.

    With BN, he has two strikes already against him, he's been given everything he's asked for, it's time to produce or move aside.

    You can be mild and hold folks accountable, fire folks etc

    wanting to be everyone’s friend never works
