Yeah that's it. God your such a intellectual, with so many contacts in the coaching world. I'm not sure how anyone can doubt you...

Napier beat Butch Jones head to head literally last week

They won by a single point. I said he was out coached. I stand by that. Jones team is a complete rebuild in YEAR 1 and was 1-5 heading into that game.

If Napier has had 3 straight number 1 recruiting classes in his conference, he should be ashamed.
Jones’ defense gave up a couple explosive plays like the once in history 99 yd TD run, otherwise, they win the majority of the other downs from a scoring defense perspective. He forced him to play his style of football ie out-coached him. I know what my eyes saw.

Bro, the hatred of Napier from these two guys is unreal. While damn every coach in the country knows what this guy is. I'm gonna call it. If we didn't hire him. Eventually he will be at Bama and whip our arse every single year like Saban. Then these same frickboys will change their narrative. And talk about Woodward was the worst ad in the world.

Neither does yours Derek.

We know you and people like you wanted that pos O hired when people like me put up the stats BEFORE that a-hole was hired that showed how he was no better and likely worse than Miles.

I Despised Miles.

So no, SWW can give 2 freaks what people like Derek say and try to pump.

SWW is laughing at y’all that want mediocrity and want to use this site to pump names.

Baseball bull shite all over again.

he never was offered the job or Auburn

Look at the timeline. Rumors that he declined the job started popping up on twitter on Dec 21st.

Shannon Terry on twitter

Harsin played his last game at Boise St. on Dec. 19th.

December 19 2:15 p.m. vs. No. 24 San Jose State Sam Boyd Stadium (MW Championship Game)

Harsin's arse was signed and on a plane on Dec. 21st, so he could be in Auburn for the announcement on Dec. 22nd.

Auburn hires Boise State’s Bryan Harsin as head coach
Jordan Hill Dec 22, 2020

Once Napier's people knew Harsin was in, they pushed the turned it down rumor.

Fortunately for LSU you’re not the person judging talent.


Here is his performance: I look at results against the competition and his talent level versus their ie recruiting class. Kinda like how O and Miles shite away talent.

With his last 3 conference leading recruiting classes here are his results against bottom dwellers:
9/11 27-24 vs 0-2 Nichols (2-4)
9/18 28-20 Vs Ga Southern (2-5)
10/21 28-27 vs 1-5 Arkansas state (1-6)

That’s a combined 5-15 with a combined total margin of victory after 3 straight number 1 recruiting classes in the Sunbelt of 12 points.



Here is a link to what I wrote before that moron was hired in 2016.
LINK

This was for all those people claiming LSU had this great offense in 2016 with O versus Miles:

Would a Miles coached team had beaten those opponents and lost to Bama with just 125 yards of offense and no points? Yes
Here ya go:
LSU rush offense is ranked 21 with getting shite on by Bama
Here is the new energy offense and the ranking of the rush defense of teams they beat.
Southern Miss - 65
Arkansas - 104
Missouri - 109
Ole Miss - 114

f they played LSU TODAY, they would get their asses handed to them. That’s with his “great recruiting” prowess. Dude is what he is a mid level program coach. Fleck was much more impressive.


If they played LSU today LSU would have to forfeit from lack of available players!

Well, it is really simple. Miles beats every team O does with ease and doesn’t lose to UF at home. O isn’t an upgrade from Miles.

This guy has great recruiting classes and squeaks by weak arse opponents just like y’all said you hated with Miles. If you want Miles or O, hire Napier because at best that is what he is.

Fleck was more qualified for Minnesota than this guy is for Minnesota if it were available. Put that into perspective.

Well a direct quote from our AD was Auburn offered him $5.2M/yr but not full control of the staff.




Yeah, that Auburn fan is either making shite up or unironically falling for "you didn't fire me! I quit." Napier 100% rejected the job and Bill Clark at least interviewed I don't know if he got a full offer. This is well known and easily confirmed with whatever your favorite search engine is. The source for Bill Clark is even literally Bill Clark.

Are you dumb? Our president and AD both confirmed they made shite up. Our AD is a black guy from Washington State. It was well known he wanted a west coast guy. Napier, Freeze and Clark were never in the running. I told you who was in the running. There is no reason to make that up. And this is coming from some who like Napier and thinks he has a bright future. Clark is a fraud.

So tell me how being an "expert program builder" and expert recruiter in the exact area Auburn would recruit doesn't make him the PERFECT candidate for Auburn?

Why would Napier run from a taylor-made position for his exact attributes?


And why can a guy like him be such a job-snob anyways? All sorts of great coaches have wanted and pursued the Auburn job, which is a top-15 job, but Napier is somehow "too good" for it?


Either this guy is completely full of shite and he never was offered the job or Auburn offered the job and he decided wasn't capable of building the program, which is strange for a hailed program builder.

If Napier turned down the job he admitted with that action he's not a program builder, at all.


With reasoning skills like that, I'm surprised you can use a keyboard.

Easy, besides wanting to hire his own staff Napier turned down Auburn to "run" to LSU

Apparently Napier wants the LSU job pretty bad


Unlike the usual tard logic around here, that's a big plus in my book. It makes him less likely to be overwhelmed by the job and more likely to succeed. It's the same with recruiting athletes. It doesn't always work out that way, but more often than not it does.

And for all the idiots that will bring up O, even O managed a dream season and national championship before his demons caught up with him.

Napier sprinted away from a job he knew he couldn't handle. Simply knew he wasn't capable of being successful at a top-15 job.
Which is why he wants the LSU job so badly, because LSU is easier with lower expectations than Auburn and South Carolina?
