Kiffin failed the other two P5 schools he coached.



Tennessee isn't exactly a failure and the USC gig was messy but the potential was there if Lane could keep his head on straight. It's been 8 years since that time.


Napier is a program manager like Coach O. Sure he's probably smarter but he's going to be held hostage by the quality of the coordinators he hires every bit as much as O and Les Miles were. Not an ideal scenario for a Coach still largely a question mark.


To me it's not even a debate. Kiffin is a better Coach on paper and is a more proven commodity. Napier could be good but still a risk for a guy without any success besides 3 years at ULL.

Willie Taggart improved every team he was at until he went to FSU and totally face planted. He's the exact type of coach that's dangerous to a top level school because you're fooled by his success at lower level conferences without considering his effect on a huge program in a big money conference.

You realize Napier calls the plays right and for all purposes is the O Coordinator at ULL. Nothing fricking like O at all.

no doubt kiffin is a better offensive coach but as HC his record doesnt show he is better than Napier, opposite actually

yea kiffin is proven to have high highs but a bunch of mediocrity in between

willie came from Oregon not G5.

both are risk and why i wouldnt have either as #1, but to me Kiffin gives you a fantastic Offense but as HC he is lacking. unorganized and doesnt pay attention to details oh and he isnt some great recruiter either when he hasnt had ED O.
