Nobody thinks he's more worthy you tard, just much more likely to happen than any of those guys.

Do you really think people are saying Napier is more worthy than someone like fcking Saban? No, they're just discussing realistic options

This. He's coaching ULL. It's just not the same thing.

Napier?




You have to win a trophy or 2 at the level you coach, before you move up. It's science!

Jesus, i bet your mother was some awesome crack Ho. Yes, there’s even people saying they don’t even want Dabo at all. Read these dumb arse comments more then come back.

Read multiple posts throughout this week claiming Dabo wasn’t even that good of a coach. Compared him to Orgeron.

When he has proven himself


He has been successful for a couple years in one of the weakest college football conferences in the NCAA. I don’t exactly see how that equates to, he has proven himself to warrant the LSU, but each to our own.

I don’t quite get this, he’s saving himself for the right job, stuff, but whatever makes the man happy.

Please tell me what Franklin has accomplished at PSU and the great teams he’s beaten? I’ll hang up and listen.

Also apparently you haven’t seen Clemson this year without an elite QB at the helm. I’ll fill you in, they are dead last in the ACC in many offensive categories and have already lost 3 games.

I am by no means saying that Napier is the end all be all but to try and discredit him because he hasn’t coached at a P5 school yet is fricking asinine.

You have to start somewhere.

FWIW, I am all aboard the Riley train if Woody can pull it off but I also wouldn’t be mad at all with Napier or Campbell.

It applies because literally the only reason he is talked about so much and so high on some peoples list is because they know him because he coaches in Louisiana. If it wasn’t the only reason then based on his resume he would be somewhere around number 10 on the list of candidates and AT BEST number 3 in the group of 5 coaches.

Splashy Name Game, Chuck Chuck Beaux Buck, Banana Fanna Feaux Fu haha.

A Rose by any other name is still a Rose ! Amirite ??
It takes Balls to hire an unproven Coach/name
The next Coach of Louisiana State... Nick Saban yes even I was like WTF ! So if NAPIER is the next Coach I hope he does a great job and loves it here. And never goes to al.

Unintelligent idiots who hate him JUSt because he's at ULL.

When he gets the job, they'll spend the next ten years crying, just like they've done the previous 16.

One would think an actual Top 5 Program would attract at least a Top 6 - 10 head coach ...

For me it’s simple, I wouldn’t be upset if they hired Napier. But at the end of the day this is LSU, and just like we shouldn’t have to hire first time coordinators who learn on the job, we shouldn’t have to hire first time P5 head coaches. Say what you want about Napier, but his ability to lead a P5 program like LSU is unknown, he’s never done it.

Maybe he would be great. Maybe he wouldn’t. That’s not for LSU to figure out, to risk. If we strike out on the more proven candidates, fine. Like I said, I wouldn’t be upset at the hire. But he shouldn’t be on top of anyone’s board.

You def have to start somewhere. I’m not saying he’s going to suck. I’m just not offering him the job unless my first 10-15 options say no. See, this is what I’m talking about with Franklin snd the Napier people. Franklin won 9 games at bottom feeder football program in the sec 2 times. I don’t care who their wins were against, those 2 seasons are incredible at a school like that compared to what Napier has done. On top of that he has won the Big 10 and played in New Years 6 bowls and brought back a program that was literally on deaths door in Penn St. Do people realize where Penn St was after paterno and O’Brien? Is Franklin my first pick? Hell no, but he’s maybe my 4th or 5th option and way ahead of Napier.

I get it. He def has some risks. Penn St imo just isn’t a powerhouse anymore. They get scraps that Ohio st doesn’t want. But there is some legit concern with him. More so with Napier though

If LSU is top 5 do you mind listing the other four?
Thanks in advance

You can’t lump in Riley with these two. And yes I take Napier over Franklin or Dabo.

Dabo is a clown.
Franklin is a tool.

Both of them are mediocre coaches who mirror past coaches here, and you know exactly what you’re signing up for with those two. At least Napier has potential for a high ceiling.

Napier over Riley is silly.

It's not asinine. And nobody is discrediting him. It's reasonable, especially when you are a top 5 program like LSU, who competes for national championships, and who can poach an experienced power 5 head coach. We have nothing against Napier. We have nothing against USL. At this point where LSU football stands, it's an enormous risk to hire an inexperienced Sun Belt head coach, especially after firing the current head coach less than two years removed from a national title.
