Billy Napier has virtually no track record as a coordinator at a major P5 program.


Billy Napier has no head coaching experience at a P5 program.

He has no hc track record outside of 1 school.

Every other candidate mentioned has multiple stops as head coach replicating their success or were considered the top of their side of the ball while coaching at championship programs

This was said last time.


Alleva isn't making this call. He was a lazy AD who would rather just hire the "popular" easy choice than get into tough negotiations and courting of coaches in high demand. That's how LSU ended up with Johnny Jones and Ed Orgeron. Those guys had ZERO market demand and could be hired without much effort (hell, they may have even paid LSU to be the HC).

It very well could be LSU tries desperately to hire a big name guy and gets turned down (as we've seen with schools like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn). But, if nothing else, I expect Woodward will make every effort to make a big hire as opposed to Alleva who would just hire the guy who most desperately wanted the job as opposed to who might be the best HC

If Alleva was here, Bianco would’ve been the baseball coach. I 100% guarantee you.

You know you can talk facts to that jackass. He lives in his own reality (however inept it is).

The burden of proof is on the Napier pumpers, not those who would prefer a more accomplished coach.

I think most fans like him, but view him more as a Plan B/C guy.

Realistically, what is your issue with him being a coaching candidate?
He is only being talked about because he won a few games with ULL and developed LA ties there.

Anybody here who is pushing for an offensive-minded HC deserves to be ignored.
