Napier scored more vs SEC opponents last yr than Dan the "offensive genius." did the yr prior.
He also set a school scoring record while OC at Clemson.

Maybe just maybe, our guys last yr werent very good and the guys this yr arent entirely on the same page in week 2.
We are starting 4 new OL with one being the backup Center. A WR that arrived in June and it seems the younger TEs have takin the jobs of the holdovers.

Im just sayin lots of new moving pieces, look for a gradual improvement over the season. If it fails by season end then yeah, make a change.

I posted that after the putrid performance against Utah.

I don't disagree that Napier just might need time to figure it out.

I don't think he's a great offensive mind like Sark or Lane. Probably an average OC at best. But if you're going to wear the HC hat, being a playcaller/OC is a lot to take on, especially if it's not one of his biggest strengths.

I wouldn't mind seeing an OC to take some of the responsibility off Napier's plate during game day. Napier could still be involved in the offense. Just seems like a lot to take on.

But we'll see how it plays out over the season. Maybe Napier knows what he's doing. UL-Lafayette fans also largely doubted him his first two seasons.
