Remember when Billy Napier was the obvious, no brainer, “one of us” hire for LSU?

I remember. No less than 50 posters lobbying on his behalf day and night. Good times

Maybe or maybe not but the idea that LSU couldn’t do better than him was laughable.

Pretty proud LSU didn’t fall for it.

The amount of people on this board that were calling him a young Nick Saban, and actively lobbying for him to become the next LSU head coach was disturbing.

Cool

No less than 1,000 posters were shitting on Brian Kelly and calling him a shite coach before there was a rumor of him leaving ND for LSU

This board is full of emotional idiots who don’t think before they post. What do you expect?

You can’t expect him to rebuild a roster, turn around a losing culture and have a championship season in Year 1. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY can do that.

I’ve been on this board long enough to see the difference between emotional knee jerk rant reactions and an organized, concerted campaign with designated posters lobbying and trying to influence an outcome. This was the latter.

Triggered?

There was a thread after every notable ND win with Brian Kelly as coach. And every post was shitting on him as a coach

And no, I’m not and was never a Napier guy. I think he was solid for what he was. An average coach who knew how to surround himself with sun belt equivalent coaches

Napier is a loose cannon and sounds like a complete simpleton when he talks. Remind you of somebody?

That's how we ended up with the Cajun Caveman. I will give credit for O for 2019 (along with everyone else that was involved with that team) but that One Of Us bullshite is just that.

I had no position on this, then or now. I will say this, the jury is still out. Saban looked bad at times during his first season. And you will look bad if Napier is hoisting a national championship trophy one day.

No, I don't. He was never the obvious hire, may be worth consideration but not an obvious hire. Only a complete moron thought he was a no-brainer. How would he be one of us? The only two coaches I ever heard that said about were Jerry Stoval and Ed Orgeron. And one of those literally quit LSU football when he was a freshman.

You guys need to get Napier out of your head more than the Napsters needed to.

Yeah, he may wind up being the worst Coach in Florida history. But I’m not making any sweeping judgements based on this 1 year. He inherited a worse situation than BK.
