If Billy Napier can get Florida 8-4 this season with The World's Hardest Schedule (TM), should Bama throw the warchest at him?

He was groomed under Saban and is the heir apparent to the Saban style of dinosaur football. Plus he is a cultural and intellectual fit for Tuscaloosa. You might even get Lagway to follow along and transfer this off season.

What do y'all think?

UF and Bama should do an episode of trading spouses where they swap coaches.

If UF goes 8-4, he should get an extension, and I honestly think being at UF will be a better experience for him. Obviously money talks, but Bama would have to fork out $70 million to fire Calen at the end of this season I believe.

We'd take that deal in a heartbeat. Hell, we'd take Zook or Muschamp back in a heartbeat right now

I’m fine with Billy as of now. Jury is out on his long term future pending this season and next season.

Jeremy Pruitt will be the coach in waiting by 1 October is what I’ve heard.

he’s a great play caller however.

Didn’t you see that bubble screen on 3rd and 9 against Long Island High School of Brooklyn?

I stand corrected. That play call was absolutely amazing..we even had 11 players on the field on every snap!

Napier is the most boring, bland and uninspiring coach in the history of sports.
