How long are you willing to give Napier?

3-4 years. Just want to see an upward trend and good recruiting. Would love to see a consistent, disciplined, well coached team which would be the complete opposite of Mullen. Excited to have a relatable coach and not some quirk like Mcelwain or Mullen.

Honestly, I'd be happy seeing improvement year after year if it looks like he's going to eventually get there. Mullen never gave me any confidence that he'd ever put it all together enough to win a title.

Napier is the first coach since Meyer that has come in with the amount of immediate fan buy in that's been seen. That in and of itself will help, and if he can show turn around in recruiting he is going to buy himself time to get this going in the right direction.

Difference is, if Nape wins 9 or 10 next year it's probably over for a lot of programs in the SEC not named Alabama, Georgia, and maybe LSU in terms of even staying close with the Gators for the next decade plus.

Hopefully. I just hope we can get that opening win over Utah who will be a tough team with the style they play. We will know right off the bat if the defense has toughened up or not. Really glad this coming year is the home game with Utah.

If he actually turns the program into a machine like Bama and UGA, at least four years, though if he really does that, he should be giving UGA problems by his second year. Someone I was reading the other day pointed out that winning coaches rarely take long to start doing it.

I didn't want Dan gone over the collapses this year and last. I wanted him gone because the program was a wreck and was only going to get worse. I still can't believe that guy let Todd Grantham cost him his job.

Once it became obvious that the program was completely disorganized and recruiting was in the toilet specifically due to his philosophy on recruiting, he had to go. If he'd been bringing in a top five class with organization running like a well-oiled machine, I wouldn't have wanted him fired over one bad year, but it was clear that things were going downhill fast and probably staying there for God knows how long.

Thing is, it's hard to see a scenario where the org and recruiting gets righted and starts running like a program has to today to compete and us not immediately turn around. I'm not saying we're in Atlanta in 22 or 23, but we'd almost assuredly be making whoever is having had to sweat to get there at least by 23.

4-5 years assuming we trend upward. That means not being a sarcastic jackass in interviews, the ability to check his ego, disciplined play/players, better recruiting, and winning games we should win.

After that, I’d say anything less than 10 wins gets the seat warm. I’d like to see us win the East and the SECCG by year 5.

I’m willing to give him as long as he needs to win a NC (given that’s a pretty difficult task unless your last name is Saban). I’d like to see us consistently in the hunt to make the CFP.

I do like the “scared money don’t make money” slogan. But I’m more of a “don’t talk about it, be about it” kind of guy.

I believe it was about a call during a game that he was asked about after
