But well behind University of Texas San Antonio.

I guess that means we should hire Jeff traylor

Possibly. But Napier did take him to the woodshed last year in the bowl game

Jeff Traylor is better. Program was way worse before he joined. USL was already established in the sun belt

Napier took over a program with 65 scholarship athlete due to the Hudspeth sanctions.

True, but that team would likely lose to every team you listed.

What about the two years he lost to app state? That his fault or no?

Look I am not against Napier but the whole reason I typed what I did is because the OPs point is completely ridiculous and without context. Being ranked above those teams in the sun belt is not the same thing as being ranked above those teams at a P5 school.

Napier may do well here but there's plenty of examples of these types of coaches flaming out at the next level. ULLs current ranking means very little if anything in terms of how much success he will have here

To be fair, he beat the shite out of App State this year. We call that “improvement”

Clearly this is based on their strength of schedule. Let's see...

Solid wins over Ohio, Appalachian State, Texas State, Troy, and Liberty
8-point win over Georgia Southern (3-8)
4-point win over Georgia State (6-5)
3-point win over Nicholls State (6-5, FCS)
2-point win over South Alabama (5-6)
1-point win over Arkansas State (2-9)
Loss to Texas (The only P5 team they played)

Edit: Added some records
