He was let go at Clemson because he was too young and way in over his head.
He wasn't let go at Arizona State. He was actually kept by Herm from the prior regime, but he took the ULL job instead.

Seems like he ascended the program more so than maintaining it

He’s got the best team in Louisiana

Solid hire if it happens

I am by no means an LSU fan - but ULL would lose by double digits to Bayou Bengals if they played this season

Hud left the program in shambles. Hud did put down a foundation showing that this could be a consistent bowl going program but he got fired for a reason. Napier has taken this team to unprecedented levels. UL doesn't go 11-2. 9-1, beat top 10 P5 teams.

Wtf?? You mean the same program that had a losing record the last 3 years of the Hudspeth regime? Sure he had four 9-4 seasons in a row, but Napier bested that by his second season against a much better sunbelt.
Napier is a much better coach than Hudspeth and I really hope auburn passes on him.

I would prefer Sark, but I’ve got no issue with Napier.

Same boat...but the more I read about Napier the more I like him. He's going to be good for Bo Nix I think. His players apparently love playing for him. Awfully hot water for a young guy with no P5 HC experience though. We'll see I guess.

I am gonna be ecstatic about Nap

Perfect. Should get auburn decent, but since he is a former Saban assistant there is zero chance of auburn ever beating bama while he’s there. This will piss auburn off after a few seasons, they will fire him after extending his contract and adding a huge buyout, Alabama gets him back as a coordinator that auburn is paying for.

Then South Carolina was stupid if they hired a career assistant rather than even offering Napier

Sark was the one they had zeroed in on, but his 75% buyout was not something that we are going to do again. Napier seems to be the guy that fans can settle on and the STOP THE STEELE revolt apparently scared the shite out of the deep pockets. At least we can say "thank the Lord for Tennessee!"

I was cool with napier if it went that way but to state he turned the job down is categorically false, nice spin jimmy.
In his defense, he wasn't let go from clemson for anything negative on his end. Dabo wanted to switch to spread offense and called up tChad

Rumor is Napier just turned down the job. Next up- Bill Clark.

Shannon Terry reporting Napier has turned the job down. Bill Clark time?

That makes no sense. Auburn type jobs just don't fall out of the sky.

Bill Clark is the only coach that scares me at AU
