That raises an interesting question.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that Riley decides to stay at OU and it's down to Aranda and Napier. What would worry you more? Aranda to USC or Napier to UF? Would it be enough of a concern to influence your decision if you were SW?

Why would a “Top 5 program” that offers a record smashing contract be unable to hire a Tier 1 coach?

Hiring Napier might just be the straw that breaks the Camels back for many LSU fans. I could see a mass exodus of fans if that’s “the guy”. I mean, why be a fan of a program that’s obviously not even trying anymore?

Blows my mind how many fans would be devastated if we hired Napier because he isn’t perceived as a splash hire. I’d take a very good G5 HC over a P5 coordinator.

To add relevancy to your argument you need to add the list of coaches you would be ok with at this point.

For example I feel the way you do about Campbell. He hasn’t coached anywhere of relevance. At least Napier did. Campbell would be a huge dud hire IMO.
