If we hired Napier right out of his Clemson OC gig no one would care. But because he decided to coach the sunbelt before jumping to p5, he’s the devil?



False. This board overwhelmingly wants a coach with head coaching experience in a power 5 conference.

You see anyone asking for Venables to be hired? No you don’t.

The closest you got to it is Aranda and the ONLY reason people are ok with him being considered is because he was already a coach here and did well and appears to be doing well at Baylor

Of the top 15 teams right now, the only 2 that hired a p5 coach from another school are Michigan state (from Colorado) and Wisconsin (from Pitt). In other words, mid tier schools robbing from lower p5 programs.

You’re asking for something that almost never happens, and it has only happened once afaik on the scale of luring a Riley or a Cristobal. The only 4 names I’ve heard that fit the “lower level p5 coach” possibilities are Campbell, Tucker, Kiffin, and Aranda.

And outside of Aranda, I’m not that much more confident in Kiffin or Campbell and Tucker to do a better job than Napier.
