Napier has been the assistant that's been on the brink of being pushed out for two years now. Not really a surprise. He was considered an average position coach and recruiter (even if his reputation was as a pretty good recruiter before he came here). I just wish they wouldn't put Bobbeh in his spot.

Key has turned down multiple HC jobs for small programs, notably UAB.

Napier has been good for Bama in the likes of Louisiana and Texas though, footholds Saban likely doesn't want to lose traction in. Can't pull everyone out of those states, but have grabbed some quality players.

Napier on his worst day is better than Bobbeh on his best in recruiting, so I don't buy that. Saban would've had a better hire lined up if he's been unhappy with Napier's recruiting. It screams bandaid hire, and unlike Malzahn, Saban doesn't have to make those.
