Hearing from Florida side that Napier is wanting his assistants.

Or LSU not wanting Napier is the more likely answer.

well, he and his coaching staff know how to win games. Maybe he just wants a little continuity

But what if LSU never wanted Napier?

Why would you hire a head coach and not allow that coach to pick their staff?

Like the Sun Belt Championship?

This is where g5 coaches often go wrong. They themselves may be ready for a step up, but their entire staff usually isn’t.

If you are an aspiring G5 HC looking to move up to a P5, would you willingly cede staff decisions to the AD who hires you (and the big boosters/former coaches who influence him?)

I ask this knowing that Woodward took away this responsibility from his HC within weeks of turning in the Greatest Season in the History of CFB.

Exactly.

If you don’t trust his decision making in one of the most critical areas of the job, you shouldn’t hire him.

1. This is very unlikely to be true. He will no doubt bring some of his staff, as do all coaches that transition to new jobs.

2. Do you guys suggest that our AD should determine who our assistant coaches are?

It's one thing to allow a new HC to pick his assistants. It's another thing when he says he wants his entire previous staff from a G5 school. I'm not sure what the situation is with Napier, but yeah, that might scare off some schools.
