In all likelihood, Napier didn’t want to take a lateral move to a school who finished ranked below the mighty University of Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns two years in a row.

I appreciate the jab

But the mess O has left and the stranglehold and talent in the West is daunting

Kelly was the right hire. A proven coach who can navigate LSU the next 4-5 Years to a better spot.

It's not going to be a popular rebuild among the faithful. Also think it wise to give him the big contract to protect him from the fans.

Napier wouldn't have gotten the big long term contract and would be fan fodder by year 3. He went to a place in a better position now, with (sorry UF) fans a bit more patient for immediate success. He would have done well for LSU, but I think at expense to his continued progression.

He'll get time to grow at UF. He may be there for 30 yrs or bolt to the next BIG contract and right opportunity. Is that Bama in a few years, maybe
