There was some thought he wanted the South Carolina job so he could punish Clemson for firing him, but he turned them down.
I’m shocked he turned down Auburn. That’s a great job with few barriers to winning.
He would certainly take LSU.

But it does still have a few barriers that some other schools don’t have.

My conspiracy theory is he and Woody have communicated ever since 2020 and they’ve already got a gentleman’s agreement in place to have serious conversations when the appropriate time comes, hence he didn’t take the USC or Auburn jobs. At a minimum, Woodward promised sincere and serious consideration if the LSU job were to come open.
I’m not saying he’s my top choice, I’m just saying it could possibly explain him passing on the other good but not great jobs.
The only flaw in that theory is Napier obviously does not fit the mold of a typical Woodward hire, so it would be very surprising if he was always after Napier as his target.
Or it could be as simple as Napier is very confident in his abilities and is super patient and content waiting on exactly the right fit job for him.
Time to open the coaching changes board so we can get it all figured out

Auburn didn't want to allow him to make his own staff hires. Or the boosters and powers at be wanted way more input on who he could hire. That is why he turned them down.
I think they forced Harsin to hire an in state guy for WR coach and it only took what? 4 games for him to can him and bring in someone he worked with previously?

They were going to dictate his assistants.

Any good coach would've turned down auburn when they start telling you which coaches to hire.
Napier has a plan and wants full autonomy to run it.
