re: What else does Napier have to do to prove his coaching ability?

They also struggled against Nicholls and South Alabama 
Honestly, I really don’t care. He may be a good coach and could probably be successful at LSU - if Miles and Orgeron can win a NC here, there are a number of others that probably could too. I just find the infatuation with Napier to be a bit much on this board and don’t believe for a second his name would get tossed around as much if he was coaching in a different state.

Let’s be honest, can the top recruiting class in the sunbelt be “far and away” better than everyone else? I would say no, someone has to be the top class and it just happens to be his. If those guys were superior to sunbelt talent, they wouldn’t be in the sunbelt.
But I thought one of his selling points was his recruiting prowess.

Nicholls was never in position to win that game. It was sloppy but they didn’t struggle.

He should not be considered until plenty of other proven candidates say no. I'm not making a case for him being the next coach of LSU. I'm making a case of him just simply being a good coach.

Probably not. Chadwell's name has been brought up as well here, but not nearly as much as Napier. The familiarity has something to do with it for sure.

What talent advantage? He’s playing with sunbelt talent against sunbelt talent
When touting Napier's recruiting abilities, it's been repeated relentlessly that he's had "the top recruiting class in the SBC three consecutive years."
If that's the case, how's the talent level on par with the rest of the conference?
Seems like the goal posts move for certain candidates.

He needs to go coach TCU and if he is lucky and wins, then maybe LSU will considered him for the job the next time. Of course, that may be right before he retires.

Guy totally changed game in second half with great adjustments. He is an amazing coach.
A 7 point difference in the second half against mighty Georgia State? I’m supposed to be impressed? Cmon man.

They played Ga St as well if not better than auburn did.
App St is a very good team and they steamrolled them 41-13.
Baylor beat Texas St 29-20 but ULL beat them 45-0.
Baylor beat Texas who beat ULL by 20.
I agree though, they have played down or uninspired a lot of games. OU has too and it cost them in playoff rankings.

I heard he already turned down the LSU job.
Posted on 11/4/21 at 10:06 pm to rmnldr
okay. If he isn’t coaching in LA, you’re not coming up with excuses like this. I doubt he will be the hire. If he is, then good for him and hope he does well.

Him saying that wasn't moving any goal post. He has had the best recruiting classes in the SunBelt, and he has consistently been in the SB Conference championship game. He's getting the Sunbelt talent in and winning with it.
It seems people on here are expecting him to bring SEC talent into the SunBelt and be steam rolling every team they play. The highest ranking SunBelt recruiting class is still a SunBelt class.
He's beating out his peers, that are on his level in recruiting, and on the field with regularity. If that would translate to LSU, that translates to national championships. The question is, would it translate to LSU?

Win in a real conference.
Maybe he’s LSU ready in 15-20 years. He’s still a low level coach.

Win a Sunbelt Championship game. He's 0-2

Nah I think people are joking, or at least I hope so. Napier is not ready for the bright lights

Napier may not be ready, but the only argument that could be used against him is whether or not he is ready for P5 recruiting.
LSU has a little bit of that built in & it’s not like P5 coordinators / assistants are total strangers to that game.

I guess I am. I see the term has political undertones.
I don't see much irrational criticism of Napier. He coaches in the Sunbelt, it's ok to be more skeptical than we would be when judging a coach on a larger stage.
