I do not know with certainty that Billy Napier is Florida's No. 1 target. But there are a lot of solid sources on my end that have made me think that's probably the case. On the Louisiana side of things, Napier is ready to take a big-boy job. Have that concrete from a lot of sources at this point. LSU has shown very little interest in Napier to this point. Florida's opening allowed Napier to turn the screws on LSU a bit in the last 48 hours, but the Tigers still do not seem to be that interested in reciprocating.

Well that's interesting.

Damn I like having a gangsta in charge.

If Florida gets Napier quickly, then LSU has had its guy for a while which is good news. No reason to contact Billy unless your first couple choices fall thru.

Makes you wonder where all the “Napier to Florida” smoke is really coming from.

Sounds like he is basically saying hire me or coach against me every year. LSU has someone else that they are locked in on.

Man if this is true it sounds like Napier is trying to do to us what Herman did to Texas.

It could be good news if it means Woodward has his guy. It depends entirely on who that guy is.

Would caution heavily on believing anything from Florida’s 247 reporters. They aren’t really tied into the program as far as having great sources.

Have heard the same thing. LSU didn’t flinch, and Napier is headed to Gainesville.

Agree, although the reporter crawfished on Napier’s preference of the jobs he did allude to Woody growing up in the “Louisiana culture” of thumbing their nose at everything ULL as the reason for not offering.

Woody won’t succumb to that mindset. If Napier isn’t the guy, he has someone committed he views as the better choice. It won’t be because of some stupid little brother point of view.

God that’s funny. Napes is begging for attention from LSU

The next storyline will be how he’s a scorned lover

Oh 100%.

"Napier was rejected by LSU. He's going to give it everything he's got to prove them wrong!"

Is he going to be he new DP if Napier were to get hired? (FWIW I don't think he will) He really has taken his promotion to the extreme.

Let’s be honest, the Ponamsky-Ree position is a necessity for O and O alone to compensate for daily incompetence on public display.

Anyone on Woody’s list will not require a person telling Rece Davis the talking points about O for a broadcast; the results of the new coach will determine the message.
