Freeze would be a better hire than Napier and it’s not even close.



Please stop posting Freeze.....it's not a smart post. To think that a school investigated by the NCAA for Title 9 would hire a coach who broke NCAA violations with hookers would be the dumbest hire ever.

Let me just say that the statistics didn't show how foolish Napier really is. I mean Florida is tanking in recruiting, he gets the job but stays at Louisiana to play the conf championship game instead of getting to Gainesville to get the ball rolling??

So glad LSU didn't go with him

Can’t compare apples with oranges! Those numbers would be drastically different with an SEC schedule.

I definitely find it funny that Chadwell has won more in the same conference in less time than Napier, but how drastically different the conversations about the two are

Why are people still talking about this? Napier is not the LSU coach.

Let me be clear, this is a referendum on Napier


Let me be clear, you don't know what the f you're talking about. Napier has turned dogshit ULL into a premier G5 program. He's a winner with a pedigree and will do fine at Florida.

And yet they claim that’s why LSU refused to sniff in his direction

ULL is a premier G5 program.

Please, elaborate how ULL is a premier G5 school

We’ll see. I think he’s done very well at ULL, but he also had a huge support staff that no one else in the Sun Belt had and recruited a lot of under the radar sleeper types. That gives a great advantage at a G5 school that it won’t in a conference where everyone else shares those resources.

I don’t think it’s impossible for him to make the transition and do well, but I’m interested to see what will happen.

He's been recruiting for UF while preparing for his CCG.

bullshite. The AAC didn’t even blink in their direction when they added SIX frickING PROGRAMS. They are racking up wins in one of the three worst conferences in the FBS and that just isn’t seen on the same level.

Napier did a great job breathing life into a program few give a shite about, which is clearly evidenced by the non-existent crowds, but that doesn’t even put them within sniffing distance of the top of the AAC and MWC. They don’t stack up in recruiting, facilities, fanbase, success, TV ratings, budget, etc.

The ultimate measure is a NY6 Bowl invite. All of the top G5 programs have gotten one at some point- Cincy, UCF, Memphis, Houston, Boise, etc. ULL will never be considered for one coming out of the Fun Belt. That’s just how it is.

I’m not saying he won’t. I’m just talking about the comment that ULL is a premiere G5 program. It isn’t by any stretch of the imagination, but that isn’t a knock on Napier. That program is what it is, as is the Fun Belt as a whole.

Let me post a couple facts that can answer a lot of questions I see in this thread. Why is UL a premier G5 program? Why is Napier a great coach? etc..

Nations longest current college football winning streaks:

1) Cincinnati Bearcats 13
2) Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns 12 (22 of last 24, 33 of last 38)

Just win baby!

They aren’t. Period. If they were, the AAC would have at least considered them for promotion. Not one program out of UTSA, FAU, UAB or North TX moves any kind of needle, but they all have more potential for growth and impact on a bigger league than ULL.

Then there’s Charlotte and Rice. Damn. That’s how little respect winning games in the Fun Belt has bought you guys. As Josh Pate likes to say when talking about Rice- don’t lose to food. Well, ULL lost to food where it really counts.
