Ross Dellenger reporting Napier turned down SC job

[FlotownDawg]

Interesting. Either he really likes ULL or he is waiting on a prime time job

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Sounds like Shane Beamer is about to be named head coach.

 

[DeeBostJumper]

No coach turns down a job, they weren't offered

 

[fishwater99]

Napier is full of himself and lies.

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

What did Bert say

 

[DeltaChicagoDog]

Reading his 'thanks, but no thanks,' message on twitter he seems determined to hold nearly all of his staff in tact, with significant pay raises for all. And South Carolina balked when they saw the overall price tag. If and when he gets his promotion and payday, he could be a real force if he's going the Dabo route of keeping lieutenants close and building loyalty. Loose lips sink ships and and he won't have to waste time training new coaches with a learning curve due to attrition.

Either that, or the SC brass heard him speak and were like, "really, this is the guy?"

What did Bert say

Kiffin to Auburn

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

How this could eff with State...

(Granted, this is worst case...) If Beamer gets Spurrier JR. to go to SC, and we lose our two out-of-state 4* receivers, that would be adult film quality suckage.

 

[was21]

Maybe he saw the writing on the wall that Beamer was going to be their guy so he pulled his name to save face. I'd say Beamer is definitely more of a gamble than Napier would have been.

I don't recall Mullen, or any other coach for that matter, ever releasing a statement when he turned down or got turned down for a job. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I haven't seen it. Think there's a message in here about what it'll take if a school really wants him? Or is he just being gracious about not getting/wanting the job?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Maybe he’s waiting on LSU or Auburn.

That doesn’t matter to them, they hired Lou Holth.

 

[Shmuley]

I really think I’m going to have to hate Napier. He’s forcing me.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Schools that have baseball coaches for AD’s are dumpster fires right now.

 

[mdm3045]

Maybe he’s waiting on LSU or Auburn.

Auburn will think he is beneath them. LSU would be a beast with Napier and would probably hire him.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Maybe i'm missing something but in that tweet he never says or implies he was offered the job.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

No, he just sort of had his agent make sly comments.

 

[Dawgpile]

Sounds like Shane Beamer is about to be named head coach.

Hiring Beamer would be totally counter to USCe's recent history, they've not hired below a coach with Coordinator experience since at least the early 90's.

 

[blackjackdog3]

Amen!

lol did you miss the goofy hunchback talk while he was here for 9 years?

What about Napier to Texas?

 

[was21]

Napier certainly seems to have some grand plan but it's kept a secret

 

[GloryDawg]

He is not flashy enough for Auburn and LSU will not hire a coach for ULL. Just my opinion.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Catherine says he's holding out for a management position

 

[Cooterpoot]

Napier isn't at the top of any blue blood program's want list.

 

[was21]

You're right about LSU...don't know about Auburn. LSU would think back to the time the Mississippi Southern corch was hired...his name now escapes me.

I think when Auburn makes a move it will either be Freeze or Kiffin.

 

[aTotal360]

I always heard there are some skeletons in his closet that would take a school and fanbase with an "all in" attitude to accept. Auburn being one of those school. Texas couldn't do it because of Austin. I also think he is overplaying his hand to drum up interest.

 

[kired]

Maybe he’s just happy making $1-million / year without having to deal with everything that comes with a P5 job.

Give me a high salary with a lesser amount of responsibility... I’m happy

Merlin could string a few decent sentences together, albeit while staring into the sun. Napier seems like he gets a brain block in front of the camera and/or microphone.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Napier is Merlinz -2.0

and Lafayette is a nice town ..there are a lot of worse places to be stuck making a million a year

Meh.... some decent pockets, but it has its dumpy areas too. Not sure why that area didn’t develop more north of 1-10 at the main exits, instead of down on the southern end near 190, Kaliste Saloom, and the Johnston Street area near the University.

 

[was21]

dem folk wants to be closest to dat crawfish and roadkill armadillo, but doan tell nobody..no

 

[patdog]

If a coach is content to stay at ULL, he's not a coach you want. No ambition.
