Florida hires Billy Napier

[Redscarlet]

As next Football head coach..

 

[Headcard]

Interesting. A good football coach, but always some risk with a G5 guy.

 

[rrthusker]

They wasted no time.

true and most thought they killed it with the mullen hire.

They wasted no time.

No time at all.

They also fired a coach with a record we as NU fans would be building statues over right now. Lol

I wouldn’t go that far.. LOL..

 

[WHCSC]

Gamble but less so than Frost was

 

[CameronKrazie86]

He was who I wanted Nebraska to hire. I think he'll do very well there.

 

[Redscarlet]

If I was OU’s AD I would be asking for the same coach I would want at Nebraska in Dave Aranda..

You can’t keep a guy that was what 34-15 but we keep a 15-29 wonder boy.

But, but, moral victories, one score losses, right there. Joke NU football has become.

We'll know within the next 2 years who made the right choice.

Don't see this as an upgrade from Mullen but we'll see

Some are selling that Mullen got fired because of his record this year. Everything I read and hear says there was more to it than that.

 

[Husker Hambone]

Good luck Napier. Florida should be just fine.

Team seemingly quitting on him, bad (for Florida) recruiting, and seeing their rival to the North become a juggernaut.

I know we did not, and I know it now

 

[rrthusker]

The first four years should be a huge clue to all of us.

its a risk when you hire anyone. Being a power 5 coach doesnt make you less risky. Mike Riley says hi

I think it is less risky, but there also isn't the upside. Mike Riley for example, was a .500 career coach and went .500 at Nebraska. With a G5 guy you can get them before they are an established name, but you never know if you are getting Urban Meyer or Willie Taggert.

Don't worry. Be happy man. Cue the whistling Jamaican. What's the disclaimer for the investment companies? Past performance does not guarantee future results? We'll see what happens with a different OC, OL coach and QB.

Isn't this the same guy Dabo fired because they had no offensive identity and were predictable?

Didn't know big boy moves included hiring retread coaches at a price premium.
