I know very little about him, I've seen the threads about him leaving on here today, people on some of the Gator boards are speculating it's a guy Nape might go after...I'm not not trying to stir any crap with y'all, I just want an honest opinion if you think he'd be a good (for UF's benefit good) take for Billy's staff?

LB’s seemed to improve under him. And he got a raw deal at Miami. Kinda wished he could’ve stayed on staff. Oh, and I hate UF

If he has any tie to LSU, Napier will go after him. That’s a prerequisite for billy.

Would replace C Rob as LBs coach is what I hear...Looks like Lupoi is all but confirmed as Co-DC/DL coach.

I think he can do well as a DC honestly. Miami was a shite situation. Dude is a good coach honestly. LBs will be good. Damone Clark agrees with this post.

Napier might as well name his team the louisiana gators.

I like napier but this shite is getting weird.

Damone Clark was good before 2020, don’t forget. He obviously exploded this year but that could also be attributed to no Bo Pelini.

Baker is fine. Obviously has DC aspirations.

He turned Damone Clark from an UDFA to a mid first round pick in one season.

Patrick Toney is co-DC...Supposedly, Napier is all but telling recruits Tosh Lupoi is the other DC and DL coach.

No one hear knows shite about him, LB initially sucked this year, got slightly better then we had ransoms that suddenly fell in love with the guy and wanted him to stay.

Not a large enough sample size to make heads or tails of him here

He did good here especially with clark. Has Florida ties. Only mistake was trying to make Bugg Strong a thing but Clark improved a ton

We've been hearing it's done, but who knows...I'm never gonna trust "sauces" after some of the stuff I've seen in the past month or so.

Guess we'll figure out who it is, when whoever it is, is hired.

Before taking another LB role, I would bet he will hold out for a DC offer somewhere as more positions come open due to upstream positions getting filled.

I think he was at Miami prior to coming to us. He's a good recruiter and a very good coach. When I heard they were letting him go, I figured we had our DC and he was a LBer coach which meant Baker was out.

If I was Napier, I would absolutely go after him. He's spent time recruiting Florida before and spent the last year recruiting LA and that's on top of being a very good LB coach.
