Napier will be fired in 3 years. Sorry to the “nutting over Napier” group on this board, but it’s going to happen. He will fail at Florida just like the last 3 coaches failed there.

They really should be concentrating on Florida and Georgia. Most kids like their families to be able to be at the games.

This has become a popular narrative around here that is totally ridiculous. II'm not sure if saying this makes LSU fans feel better or what. Recruiting louisiana kids doesn't equal not recruiting Florida. Do you really think they aren't actively recruiting Florida? He's built a big staff that is fully capable of recruiting more than one state at a time.
Billy would be an absolute idiot not to capitalize on his resources and relationships in Louisiana.... a talent rich state where he just coached for 5 years
Man, this board has literally jumped into another stratosphere of delusion ever since the point at which we knew that Lincoln Riley wasn't happening. If you'd have polled this board one day prior to the corey raymond news, the overwhelming majority would've said that he was the best DB coach in the country. One day later, and the overwhelming majority claim that he was complete trash all along.
The mental gymnastics are just otherworldly right now. You legitimately have this whole board saying that it's a good thing for lsu that florida is aggressively pursuing louisiana recruits. News comes out that brian kelly hasn't even spoken to half of our major targets, and this board convinces itself that this is actually great news.
Bottom line: I like the BK hire, I trust BK, I like the staff that he's built, and I don't think the corey raymond loss is the end of the world... but some of the things that people on this board say with a straight face are just complete lunacy. It's an LSU board so obviously there is gonna be LSU bias... but i can NEVER remember a moment in time at which the delusion has been this extreme.
I'm not kidding when I say this: News could drop tomorrow that BK has rescinded the scholarships of every QB on the roster plus Walker Howard, with the intent of carrying over our Texas Bowl offense into 2022 and beyond, and this board would 100% no-doubt-in-mind-mind-whatsoever fall over backwards to praise it as a genius move. The prevailing opinion would legitimately be that it's better to not have a QB, and that all other teams in the country are behind the curve for still wasting scholarships on quarterbacks. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this would be the case.
It's crazy to me that there is SO much insecurity among TD posters that NOBODY is willing to admit to themselves that it's possible for bad things to happen. Regardless of what occurs, it is spun as a positive LITERALLY 100% of the time.

I'm more curious than anything. I'm no Napier fanboy, but IF he doesn't damage his reputation at a stop, such as UF, has the potential being a very good coach.
However, recruiting Florida, poorly, was the primary causal factor in the previous UF coaching failures. With Mullen being the best-example/worst-performer.
So Napier going with what he knows early on, in a recruiting cycle, before even coaching a game has a logic. And that is recruiting LA until he gets his staff completely set and gets a year behind him.
But, if he doesn't adjust and hit FL hard your prediction is likely true. So doing what he is doing now is exactly what he should be doing as far as recruits he is targeting with the coaches he has. For now, it is low-hanging fruit and/or the best info he has (on recruits). Now that's one limitation to hiring from ULL, no matter the name; if they had hired from a P5 school the recruiting base or knowledge of that coach would be more geographically broad. But they didn't.
It comes down to does he adjust for the 2023 class, or is he going to continue with the same short-term plan, which would likely be a disaster.

A person that saw the DB performances of 2019, 2020, and 2021 and thought the LSU DB coach was the best in college football, is not being objective.
Too many blown coverages and lack of focus for the superior talent on the field.

You realize that this supports my point, right? I wasn't arguing that CR was the best DB coach in the country lmao I was arguing that this board is delusional. So I take it that you agree.

Yes, I agree with you. Sorry, I did a poor job of conveying my thoughts.

Lol Nap needs to worry about beating Mario At the U, Norvell at FSU if he doesn’t win FL he’s gone in 3 years no matter what crumbs he gets in LA

Things aren't gonna change around here whether truth gets pointed out or not - and that's a shame for all of us.
