Brian Kelly responds to Billy Napier hot seat, defends him as Florida's hea coach

quote:

“He’s a really good football coach. You know, he knows his team, he knows what their strengths and weaknesses are. You can see it on film. He’s building a culture that is fit to his eye in terms of what he wants to do. He’s doing it his way, and that’s awesome,” said Kelly. “I think that, you know – look, I came in here, right, and Ed was here and he won a national championship, right. But he did it his way, right. It was his way, and that’s fine. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with that. They wanted to make a change. I do it my way. It takes time to put in your philosophy and the way you like to do things, you know. I do them a lot different than Ed does, but he still won, right. They asked for a change. I came. It takes time to make that change, and it’s the same thing with Billy.”

“Billy has come in after two or three other head coaches that changed the way the other coaches did it, and now he’s starting to stabilize that program,” Kelly said. “So, people talk about whatever they want. It’s crazy. It takes what it takes, and he’ll get that thing where he wants it. I think he’s got it right now. They beat us last year.”


How soft is the University of LSU's head coach? Not only is he trying to be a Dabo style cornpone every chance he gets, but he's essentially telegraphing to corndogs (who can read) that they are heading for another letdown.

Mark my words Kittens of the Swamp, you'll be calling for Coach Bump 'n' Grind's termination soon.

Almost as soft as a dude named Ashley.

Edit: Also I know your name is from the movie The Goods. Point stands though.

Will Ferrel is a liberal baby back bitch.

Coaches support each other publicly all the time. What is he supposed to do? Say Napier sucks?

Thank you.

I know these guys are making huge money and all have golden parachutes, but coaching is a tough profession. It’s a zero-sum profession. Coach Smith can only be successful at the expense of Coach Jones. They can’t all be winners even if every program in the SEC had a Nick Saban clone. Because of this, most coaches are sympathetic towards those who are on the hot seat unless there’s some bad blood. Few coaches go through a career without at least knowing what the hot seat feels like - and many great coaches have been fired.

Wise coaches are also hesitant to be unnecessarily critical of others or burn bridges. It’s not far from the penthouse to the outhouse, and you never know when you might need a job or want someone’s insight into an opponent. It’s helpful to have good relationships in those times.

See absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. He also knows Billy is dumb. Nothing to see here.

Exactly. And to add, a really shrewd (smart) coach will talk up a mediocre opposing coach because you don’t want him going anywhere.
Further, shitting on an opposing team will only make your own performance look less impressive no matter the outcome.

This would be a good website, just a list of these examples

The Tulane/Northwestern thing comes to mind
Maybe Lanning/Gundy
Bert/whoever the Texas HC was

BK is doing to Napier exactly what Saban used to do to Miles and later O. We have a vested interest in Napier staying your coach.

First off, coaches in the same conference generally don’t trash each other.

Second off, Florida sucks and he wants Billy there as long as possible.

Kevin O’Sullivan calling out Kevin Schnall and vice versa during the NCAA baseball tournament this past year. Both are psycho assholes though so not sure it counts.
