This ULL game has 2 announcers that spent half of a quarter talking about Billy Napier talks of going to LSU when the seat is open… they love stirring the pot ??

If Napier ends up at LSU, I'm going to vote to replace Woodward.

Luckily Woodward swings for the fences. Woodward is going to go after someone big. Napier won't even be looked at.

They're probably not even consciously trying to stir the pot. The chatter has already been happening, and I'm sure they're aware of it, so it's natural to discuss the possibility.

Even Finebaum predicted on SEC Nation opening weekend that the fanbase would go after Orgeron if he lost to UCLA. And here we are.

napiers play calling is nice so far. lots of horizontal stretch runs and passes. lots of triple play action fake jet sweeps, dives, pull out and throw, etc. similar to triple options canada had. i am sure they run RPO also but i just tuned in so have not seen it yet. i will bet he had levi run some zone reads also when he was in.

Napier would be an upgrade from O. Nobody here will argue that fact. Having said that, I would be absolutely shocked if he was Woodwards 1st choice as there are better more proven coaches out there.

I like Napier but I think he’s gonna have go to a mid tier power 5 first for a few years. But I could see him being one of the “hot shot, fast riser” type coaches after that.

But, this would be Woodward’s first shot at hiring a FB head coach. He knows this is his first really huge stamp on the football program and he’s going to swing for the absolute fences. And he should.

I mean he ain’t Saban, nobody is. I think a lot of the Saban coaching tree guys have failed because they weren’t ready to be a HC. Making that jump from behind the scenes to face of a major program is a big step. I don’t get that vibe from Napier, dude seems incredibly focused and stable.

My opinion doesn’t mean a thing but I think he’s the real deal. Also, Orgeron is mostly a talentless grifter so it doesn’t get worse.

Not sure who the hot coach is this year but historically those guys don’t work out. It’s not always the guy with the recent success or turnaround program. The best hire might be a nobody.

Nah, based on Woodward's style of hiring big coaches, Fisher at aTm, Mulkey at LSU, Woodward will go for bigger fish. CUM c'mon down.

THEY love stirring the pot? The "pot" has been stirring here at this shite hole for fair weather fast food uninformed ignorant "fans" long before ESPN brought it up.

If the "fans" get their way here and O is fired LSU will be set back 5 years and lose massive amounts of recruits. My pleasure will be listening to the same ignorant clowns who helped cause this whine and moan about why we are losing in state kids to other SEC teams.

All of this talk about coaches who already have jobs filling a vacancy that doesn’t exist and all that I can think about is how sick all of those ULL fans must be that the commentators on THEIR game spent half of a quarter talking about LSU. ??????

O has the fans feeling to beaten down and dejected that they’re acting excited over the prospect of hiring ULL’s coach

I have no issue with Napier, but I think woody wants to make a splash…i think he will do everything to get a power 5 coach.
