If you’ve been spending any time at all reading or listening about the open Florida Gators head coaching job, undoubtedly you’ve heard the name Billy Napier.
Napier is the current head coach at Lousiana, but has deep ties to the Southeast with stops at Clemson (offensive coordinator), Alabama (analyst and WR coach) and Florida State (TE coach). He’s turned around the Louisiana program, winning 11 games in 2019, 10 in a COVID-shortened 2020 and 10 again this year.
That’s quite a feat for a program that had never won more than 9 games before.
But Dan Mullen was hired on the basis of doing something at Mississippi State (win 9 games twice and 10 games in 2014) that is perceived as hard to do. Jim McElwain was hired after a 10-2 season at Colorado State in his third year there, a program that hadn’t won more than 7 games since 2002.
So how are we supposed to believe that Napier will be any different than Mullen or McElwain? Is it just that there is always a risk when you make a coaching change, or is there something we can look at that might suggest that Florida is getting an upgrade if they are able to pull Napier away from the Ragin’ Cajuns?
Recent Florida Coaching History
It’s no secret that recruiting has been a sore spot for both Dan Mullen and Jim McElwain. But the expectation for both was that they would benefit from their coaching acumen to bring big-time athletes to Gainesville. Why didn’t that happen?
Well, if we first look at what happened at their previous stops, I think it starts to make a little bit more sense.
First, let’s look at McElwain. He took over at Colorado State for Steve Fairchild, fired after two straight 3-9 seasons. McElwain went 4-8 in his first season, but then won 8 and 10 games in the next two. But what did some of the underlying metrics say about that turnaround?
Steve Fairchild vs. Jim McElwain at Colorado State. (Will Miles/Read and Reaction)
If we look at the numbers, McElwain was a worse recruiter than Fairchild, and by a fairly wide margin. Not only did his national recruiting ranking go down almost 14 spots, but his conference ranking plummeted as well. The saving grace was that his team’s performance (as measured by ESPN’s football power index, FPI) improved by 20 spots, likely a reflection on both McElwain’s ability as a coach but perhaps that of Fairchild’s as well.
So what about Mullen? He obviously came from Mississippi State where recruiting is hard, particularly when you’re competing with LSU, Alabama and Auburn.
Sylvester Croom vs. Dan Mullen at Mississippi State. (Will Miles/Read and Reaction)
Mullen did improve the recruiting at Mississippi State at a national level, but he didn’t move the needle on a conference level. What that means is that while Mullen was improving the Bulldogs against the Michigan State’s and Nebraska’s of the world, he was falling further behind in the SEC.
The performance metric is the one I think is important, as Mullen came very close to performing (based on his FPI) equivalent to his recruiting rankings. This suggested that with better players at a place like Florida, Mullen could excel.
But what happened when McElwain and Mullen got to Florida? Well……
Recruiting and on-field performance for Florida’s last three coaches. (Will Miles/Read and Reaction)
What happened at Colorado State happened again to McElwain, as he was unable to replicate Will Muschamp’s recruiting success. Muschamp was on-par with other good Florida recruiters, but his on-field results lagged far behind, with significantly worse FPI finishes than his recruiting should have merited.
Mullen then came into the fold and did improve recruiting slightly, but not up to the Muschamp standard. Again, what happened at Mississippi State for Mullen happened at Florida as well, as he essentially matched his on-field performance to that of his recruiting.
Application to the new Florida head coach
So how does this apply to Billy Napier? I’ve done a bunch of these types of analyses for different coaches, but since Napier has become the seeming front-runner, I thought it would be useful to highlight that here.
Mark Hudspeth took over at Louisiana in 2011 after a 3-9 season by Ricky Bustle. He then immediately ripped off four straight 9-4 seasons, but then followed that up by going 15-22 over the next three seasons. Additionally, the Ragin’ Cajuns were forced to vacate 22 wins during those first four years due to NCAA violations.
Hudspeth was relieved of his duties and Napier was brought in. The first year under Napier brought a 7-7 record, but he has since gone 31-4 ever since. That looks a lot like Urban Meyer’s 31-5 record in the three seasons before he came to Gainesville.
But what about the same kind of underlying numbers that I showed above for Mullen and McElwain? Is there evidence that Napier will be a superior recruiter to those two? And is there evidence that he’s going to be a good on-field coach?
The answer is a resounding “yes” for both.
Mark Hudspeth vs. Billy Napier at Louisiana *ULL at 1st in conference in 2021. (Will MIles/Read and Reaction)
Napier improved recruiting compared to Hudspeth by 14 spots, which doesn’t seem like a major improvement initially. But it was enough to increase the conference recruiting average by 2 spots, including first place finishes in the Sun Belt recruiting rankings in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
It also takes into account the 105th ranked class in his first year in 2018 (which means that his transition class was about as good as Hudspeth’s average). But that means that his bump class improved 28 spots and has stabilized at that level.
From a performance perspective, Napier has far outperformed Hudspeth. Hudspeth actually finished pretty much where you would expect based on his national recruiting ranking. He finished a little bit below where you would expect in the conference, but 1.5 slots isn’t too far off.
Napier has finished 25 spots better in the FPI than his recruiting rank would suggest and has finished off better in the conference than his recruiting rankings would suggest as well. His teams have made the Sun Belt Championship Game every year he’s been at Louisiana, and with wins against Louisiana-Monroe and Appalachian State, Napier will have a second-straight championship.
Takeaway
You can say a lot about Jim McElwain, but he never won the Mountain West Championship. Dan Mullen never won the SEC at Mississippi State (though that’s an unfair standard).
Bill Napier is about to win his conference for the second time.
Not only that, but Napier has made his team much better than his recruiting numbers and he has improved recruiting at Louisiana significantly over his predecessor.
The McElwain hire should have had red flags from the start based on his recruiting and underlying performance. Those proved out on the field as he struggled recruiting, but also struggled to get his teams to match their recruiting performance (33.7 average FPI with 14.7 average national recruiting rank).
The Mullen hire is much more defensible. He improved the national recruiting profile of Mississippi State and so the thought was he’d be able to do that at Florida too. He also coached at a level that matched his recruiting, which made Mississippi State nationally relevant.
The problem is that even though (at least by FPI) Mullen was able to match his team’s performance to his recruiting ranking at Florida, that recruiting wasn’t at a high enough level to have the highs be championships. And unfortunately, a season like 2021 is what the lows can be like.
But Napier looks different.
He was clearly humbled by his experience at Clemson, getting fired as the offensive coordinator after a 6-7 2010 season. You might be bitter if you were him, as he had Kyle Parker at QB in 2009 and 2010 with the Tigers and new OC Chad Morris got Tajh Boyd in 2011. Of course, Napier also helped recruit Boyd.
But instead of going to a Group of Five school as an offensive coordinator or even a position coach, Napier went to Alabama as an analyst. He then was a position coach at Colorado State, Florida State and Alabama. Those last two stops mean full-time interaction with Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban, two of only four coaches with championships still coaching today.
He had one year as the offensive coordinator at Arizona State before getting the head job at Louisiana, where he has increased the FPI of the Ragin’ Cajuns from 105 to 44, 36 and 48, including finishing ranked 15th in the AP Poll last season and currently ranking 22nd.
The thing that jumps out to me most about that list is the one year as an analyst. That isn’t the best move from a financial perspective, and I think suggests a coach who understood that he didn’t know everything and that the process of being successful the next time he got a chance would be aided by learning from the best.
And the reason it jumps out to me is because if we were to drill down to exactly why the Mullen era fell apart, I think we’d end up talking about flawed processes.
That means that all of the talk of Napier being a Saban clone is likely misguided. He understood that the best process for his career was to take a step back and learn from Saban. Folks who think like that aren’t clones. They are strategic thinkers who are usually well ahead of their peers when changes need to be made.
And that’s further bolstered by Napier’s decision to turn down an offer from Auburn last year (note: jobs are never offered if they’re turned down). If he learned anything from Saban, it should be that the program you choose has to be in alignment with your principles.
Add to that the stats that I’ve included above and I think Gators fans should be excited should Napier be the guy who ends up stewarding the program heading forward.
And I think they should be bummed if Scott Stricklin allows him to get away.
Florida State
There’s been one stat that has portended Florida’s results all year: QB per rush average.
In losses to Alabama, Kentucky, LSU, Georgia, South Carolina and Missouri, the Gators QBs have averaged 3.4 yards per rush. In the five wins, the Gators QBs have averaged 10.3 yards per rush. That’s in 30 less runs in wins.
You can say the exact same thing about the Seminoles, as in their six losses, their QBs have averaged 0.4 yards per rush on 70 rushes versus 5.2 yards per rush on 77 rushes in their five wins. The insertion of Jordan Travis – and freeing him up in the run game – has helped Florida State right the ship after starting out 0-4.
So that to me is the only question in this one. Can Florida stop Travis when he takes off to run? And can the Seminoles stop the Gators QB when he tries to run as well?
Note that every single one of those Florida losses has occurred away from the Swamp except for the loss to Alabama. Emory Jones has looked much more indecisive on the road, and so if he starts again, I’d expect Florida to be more efficient against Florida State than they were against Missouri.
But if Anthony Richardson gets the nod, I’d expect to see some really big runs similar to what we saw earlier in the year. That’s because Florida has had big plays set up in the read-option game over the last few games that just haven’t materialized because of Jones’ indecisiveness. If Richardson just decides to hold onto the ball, he’s going to pop a big one.
Factor in that it is senior day and the motivation of playing a rival, many of whom the Gators players played against in high school, and I expect Florida to come away with the win.
It will be clunky. Every game this season has been. But you can say the exact same thing about this Florida State team as well.
Mike Norvell has done a great job keeping things from falling apart in Tallahassee. But keeping things from falling apart isn’t enough to get a win on the road against even a down Florida squad.
The Gators (-3) win, 34-24.
Picks this year: 6-4 straight up, 4-6 ATS.

Napier’s dream job is LSU.

Then after cutting his teeth at Flarda Napier is gonna come home to the Big Stage – Tigah Stadium, Death VAlley!

Great article Will. One correction though. Napier was the OC at Arizona State in 2017 not Arizona. They were a respectable 42nd in the country in total offense that year, despite Todd Graham being on his last legs. I’ve been researching coaches from the LSU game onward, and Napier was my favorite target. I really think he fits what the program needs right now. I hope we get him, and I hope I’m right. Go Gators!
Will Miles
Thanks. Midnight typo.
Brian
If you did that same analysis for Mario Cristobal I’d imagine you’d come have the same outcomes but with a power 5 coach. I understand he is Miami through and through so it might be a pipe dream but he has all of the same qualities: assistant coaching history, recruiting and wins/losses but at a power 5 level. Not sure why we are fine settling on Napier if Cristobal has all of these qualities at a higher level. Maybe a call has already been made and it’s been dismissed by his agent but they should circle back if not
Will Miles
Actually, the same analysis says Cristobal is a bigger risk than Napier.

Supa Mario is coming home… to MIAMI baby!!!!

Fred Gibbons
Will;
Very impressive analysis primarily since recruiting is clearly a key missing in the last 2 coaches, not to say the X’s and O’s Are not important because they are – but only secondarily so. Agree with your thoughts on Cristobal, and quite frankly why comeback to the SEC when he has a better chance at either Oregon or UM to crash the CFB party; whereas UF he has to deal with UGA.
More importantly in your analysis was the point this guy “humbled” himself and took an analyst position at Bama. It says a lot about his character in my opinion. An ability and willingness to look at oneself in the mirror and ask what do I need to learn is a key attribute of self awareness, which is essential if you want to be a great leader. We need a great leader of young men, not just a play caller – there are any number of those guys.
A great leader type will come in and say here’s what I need systemically to be successful. Is the UF admin, athletic department and boosters on board? That’s another question?
Go Gators!
Roland
Great analysis. I think an early indicator for Napier or anyone else that gets the job will be who they can attract as assistant coaches.
After Bama, this was no longer the 2021 team.
He might be good, but wasn’t impressed with his offense or win over UL Monroe today.

Cristobal had to go check on his mother who is sick, we’ll have him signed, sealed and delivered this week leading up to the PAC Championship game!

I am going on record as being totally wrong about Scott Woodward.
Woodward ran one of the best coaching searches I have ever seen. After Lincoln Riley left for USC I thought Scott had been played. I was completely wrong. I love the hire. We finally have a well spoken, successful head coach.
Congratulations Scott. Welcome Coach Kelly.
I apologize and I am a clueless fool. Scott is the Master.

Brian Kelly haters, listen up!
He is a great fricking hire. Turn on ESPN and tell me if they are talking about LSU or the upcoming #1 Georgia/#4 Alabama game this weekend?
But for the haters, check out these stats…
Record at Cincinnati: 34-6 including 12-0 perfect season in 2012
Players he had during those three full seasons
QBs: Ben Mauk, Tony Pike, Zach Collaros
RBs: Butler Benton, Jacob Ramsey, Isaiah Pead
WRs: Marcus Bennett, Dominick Goodman, Mardy Gilyard, Armon Binns, D.J. Woods
Players Drafted to NFL
2008: 1 (6th Round)
2009: 4 (2nd, Two 5th, and a 6th Rounder)
2010: 3 (4th, 5th, and 7th rounder)
He had no REAL NFL talent on those teams, just his ability to coach his squad, which was 8-5 the year before he got there.
Also, if Notre Dame wins their bowl game, they would finish 12-1, tying his best record while coaching at Notre Dame. HE LEFT THAT to come to LSU and take on this challenge. He can coach and will change the culture in that locker room to rival what Nick Saban has done at Alabama. Respect and hard work is all that matters. He might be a POS in real life but who cares if he is winning.

Noting this. “Ask yourself, where is it easier to win? LSU! Also, Ed Orgeron is a world-class recruiter. Brian Kelly has seen the talent that Ed Orgeron has accumulated over the last 3 or 4 years. Ed can’t coach it like Brian Kelly can, they will compete for a national championship next year.”

Brian Kelly said that Woodward presented a clear plan to him there that he couldn’t resist.
So, I’m asking y’all what exactly is the plan??
To win and dominate like Saban is at Bama.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
The rise of SEC football is because of LSU for taking a chance on a coach from an upper midwest school that practically no one in the south had ever heard of who in return made them a national champion. He hired some assistants that he made even better than they were. Five of them became head coaches in the SEC that is now on their resumes.
While other conferences have either folded or combined or expanded no conference has improved and maintained the status of the SEC. So thanks to LSU for hiring an unknown Nick Saban and the two together being responsible for creating a premier powerhouse conference known as the SEC. The SEC is in your debt.

Coach Brian Kelly, the current GOAT of college football with more wins than anyone currently coaching, is now leading LSU. Even Nick Saban who is nearly a decade older doesn’t have as many wins. The GOAT got a courtesy call from Saban to welcome LSU’s new coach into the SEC.
It’s an understatement to say Coach Kelly’s move to LSU from ND sent shock waves throughout the media and college football. SEC coaches and fans are still in shock, Saban appeared to control himself a bit more than other coaches, maybe trying to get a read on Coach Kelly.

I just watched the press conference in it entirety. I am so impressed by how he presented how he arrived at the decision with his family, his passion to be the best, and how the process will be at LSU. He is articulate, which is something everyone has missed since the days of Nick Saban, and he has the “it” factor of how to build and maintain a great program like LSU. Kudos to Tate, Woodward, and the board of supervisors and all involved in making it happen with Brian Kelly. It’s going to be a great ride moving forward.

Since when does being southern equate to football success?
In football, you run or pass the ball down the field to hopefully score a touchdown, which is 6 points. from there, you have the choice of kicking an extra point for 1 pt, or going for two via an offensive play. the defense is set up to try and stop the offense from doing this.
what on god’s green earth does it matter if a coach was born in the north, south, east, west, germany, france, egypt? how in the fawk does that hold any relevancy whatsoever?

a coach could speak in fukin sign language but if he wins games, why does it matter? all you pussies being persuaded by the media is the sole reason this country is so fricked. but lsu wins next year anyway

LSU vs The World
Let’s embrace being the villains. If they think we have embraced the dark side let’s show them what that really looks like. But let’s be the most frustrating kind of villain- the ones that win doing everything the right way.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Ignore the negativity / jealousy and CELEBRATE Kelly as HC
If he wasn’t a great Coach, nobody would care.
Let’s get started!
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Let’s face it the Notre Dame Media darling is no more right now. We have our coach and the guy is a winner wherever he goes. Brian Kelly is about to frick shite up in the SEC. LFG
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
The more people hate on Kelly and LSU, the better I feel about the whole situation. People didn’t give a damn when we hired Les and O. The country is scared to death what CBK might turn LSU into and what ND might fall back to. Keep the hate coming, there’s something fun about being the bad guy.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Three year expectations from Kelly?
2022: 8 reg season wins + decent bowl game
2023: 10 reg season wins + SEC contention
2024: 10+ wins and national relevance
Anything less and I think the natives will get restless.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Think of the Economics. 1) NBC still has its TV deal tied to ND, if they all of sudden go back to Pre Kelly, that impacts their TV Revenue. 2) National guys like Forde, Feldman, Futiak, etc, get lots of Social media hits when they write something about Notre Dame. Again, they stink on the field, hurts them financially personally.
So this attack on Kelly is all about Money. Riley at USC is from a media Revenue perspective, a win. USC is good again, it is the 2nd largest media market again, FOX, which has 1st tier rights, ESPN (PAC12 at night) with 2nd tier rights all of a sudden become more financially lucrative. Social media hits from those same journalist can increase if USC under Riley returns to what they were under Pete Carrol.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Riley at USC will do what Riley at OU did…
Blow through a basically defense-optional conference to easily secure a spot in the playoff, then get BTFO by whichever SEC team they get matched up with. And USC will be fine with it because they just want to be relevant again.
Kelly, OTOH, will make LSU the only school in history to win a national championship with four different consecutive coaches… and he won’t stop with just one natty.
Anytime the mainstream media (in any form) is collectively melting about something you did, you know you did something right. I’ll leave it there.
Lincoln Riley had just told his boss on Saturday that he was at Oklahoma for the long haul and wasn’t going anywhere. Then, on Sunday, he got on USC’s private jet with four others from his staff and left for SoCal. This is somehow magnitudes better than what Kelly did LMAO
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Dey scared
the media and SEC is secared
They know Saban is on the way out. If Kirby can win a title this year, they’ll be the new media darlings. When talking about LSU, it sometimes sounded like a back-handed compliment, at least from some. If LSU were to ever wake up the “sleeping giant” they’ve always claimed us to be, we would be a force to be recond with for years to come.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Certain aspects of the media reaction are frustrating. First, some pundits are simply ignoring Kelly’s uninterrupted history of success everywhere he has coached. Second, I feel as if LSU is being punished for hiring someone who isn’t sufficiently trendy or hip, as if being a fashionable hire were more important than being a capable, intelligent hire. Third, the media appears to be perpetuating the stereotype of LSU that they created over the last eighteen years: a very talented program led by eccentric caricatures and supported by rollicking drunks which occasionally blunders its way to an NC on a wave of bourbon and recruiting. Not a serious program like Alabama or UGA or OSU. Now they are trying to shoehorn a demanding, intelligent coach into that narrative by portraying him as deceitful and laughable. Finally, I think Kelly stands for many principles that are viewed as antiquated and out of favor: discipline, commitment to excellence, diligence, dedication, teamwork, seriousness, and so on.
I always want LSU to win, but I am particularly passionate in my hope that Kelly proves the doubters wrong in resounding fashion.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
rick anybody who doesn’t like it and frick Notre Dame.
Obviously Coach Kelly had some problems with ND and all their BS so he left FOR A BETTER JOB.
They can’t stand it that National Sportscasters and Commentators like Stephen A, Paul Finebaum, and
Rick Neuheisel all said LSU is a better job and they understood why Brian Kelly took the LSU job.

COACH BRIAN KELLY IS PACKIN SOME SERIOUS MEAT IN HIS PANTOLONES
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
LSU does not need to have an on the job training coach who struggled to beat Nichols, South Alabama, and Arkansas State and who got his arse kicked by a poor Texas team.
Tell me oh wise one exactly what is Napier’s signature win while at ULL? Who did he beat which impresses you so much that you think he is ready to take over one of the Top Football Programs in the SEC and the Country. 1 win over Iowa State? LOL.
Tell me. What is so impressive about Napier winning against a ton of crap teams (many in close games)?
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Apparently there are some ULL (not UL) types who are pro Napier even though he has not proven he is ready to coach at the SEC level at all. Close wins over crappy teams, getting his butt kicked by Texas, and a win over an overrated Iowa State team is not a ticket to becoming the next head Coach at LSU. Sorry.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
ULL was “named” Co-Champion last year due to Covid.
Brian Kelly is a proven head coach who has more wins than any other Coach in College Football. He has recruited nationally and gotten his teams to the CFP twice.
Kelly has coached in Major Bowls and in big atmospheres for many years.
Billy Napier has never WON the Sunbelt Conference.
He got blown out by a terrible Texas team. He beat friggin’ Nicholls by 3 points only because Nicholls turned it over twice and 1 was a pick six.
He beat Arkansas State by 1 point.
He beat South Alabama by 2 points.
He beat Georgia State by 4 points.
None of these “huge” Sunbelt victories are over teams with more than 5 wins.
So based on that information some of you are impressed that Billy Napier is LSU ready? No.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
So beating Iowa State 1 time is all it takes for you to think Napier is SEC ready?
Kelly beat LSU twice. Kelly has had 2 ND teams in the CFP and this year’s team is 11-1 and probably gets in this year. The resume’s between Kelly and Napier are vastly in Kelly’s favor. It is not even close.

Mullen got fired because his class was ranked 40th and he went 5-6

LSU basically recruits itself these days.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Brian Kelly to LSU has brought out the tards in the national media and in fanbases all across the country. He surrounds himself with great recruiters. He has guys pulling top 100 overall recruits out of Georgia BEFORE Freeman got there. His best draft prospect right now is from Georgia in Hamilton. His best WR on the team this year is from Georgia (top 105 recruit).
One thing he’s going to love though is recruiting RBs at LSU. Dude hasn’t had a top 220 commit at RB since Dexter Williams in 2015 (top 100 recruit).

I’m excited with Brian Kelly. I think the whole football program needs to change the culture of leaving early. The amount of players leaving early causes the program to be up and down.
I think Woodward sees this and brought in the best person to change that and build a program that can stay on top.

People are naturally envious of success, because they feel threatened for their own status. These talking heads are pissed that Notre Dame lost their established coach because it hurts their bottom line if the Irish are bad with the NBC contract, and ESPN already has power stories with Alabama and their favorite underdog story Texas A&M. We are redundant to them if we reach Alabama levels of success.
Other schools are mad that we will make good on O’s promise to beat their butts at recruiting and on the field. We are going to take their recruits and hurt their position in football. It’s a cutthroat league; we are here to win.
Who cares if they make everyone think we are cheaters? We know we are playing by the rules, they’re just mad that we’re winning at their expense.
Roll with the hate, let’s ride with Kelly/Wade/Johnson. They hate us cuz they ain’t us

we did steal media darling ND’s head coach while they were “playoff contenders”.
This is great publicity for LSU. No one is talking about conference championship games, playoffs , ND’s new coach, or anyone else’s new coach. It’s all LSU. Worth its weight in gold to have our brand out there. We went out and bought the best. When we walk into a recruits house—-hey, you saw us on Sportscenter—we go out and get the best. That’s you. Come play with us.
I will note that Saban and Alabama got hammered pretty good when he was hired. It’s was non stop CNS sound bite about “not going to Alabama”. Then he made the joke about the “coonass ditch digger” after the opening press conference. Very similar first few days.
Woodward & LSU Making BIG Dog POWER PLAYS
Just before the 2019 season, the mainstream media was just “meh” on LSU. I remember the narrative…
-“Can LSU put it all together?”
-“Joe Burrow is an upgrade at QB but he can’t carry the whole team.”
-“The addition of Joe Brady is good, but the scheme will take a long time to pick up.”
-“The receivers are very questionable after a couple consecutive years of being plagued by the ‘dropsies’.”
-“Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a decent player, but LSU will miss the ‘featured back’ they’ve gotten used to with Fournette and Guice.”
-“Special teams is still questionable.”
-“The immovable object, Alabama, owns LSU.”
I think the (not outright disrespect, but) outspoken doubt about LSU fired that team up beyond what any of us can imagine. So many have forgotten what was said about LSU in the years leading up to that season, because that season erased (at least temporarily) most of those bad memories.
I love it when the Tigers are “doubted”. We almost all doubted they’d win more than one or two conference games this year, and they came out and embarrassed Florida and aTm, and took Alabama down to literally the final possession of the game in a very close loss.
This team just plays better when they feel slighted or doubted.

I think most people in the media are just in a state of shock. The CFB world is changing so fast and the idea of Brian Kelly leaving mighty Notre Dame to coach LSU seemed pretty far out weeks ago. But the reality of the current landscape came crashing down on them this week.
This isn’t Bret Bielema leaving Wisconsin to coach Arkansas. This is a perceived Notre Dame lifer leaving to coach LSU. I keep hearing talking heads ask what LSU can offer BK that Notre Dame can’t. The answer is basically everything aside from the ghosts of great Notre Dame teams of the past.

Notre DAme have all 11 over the last 100 years. First in 1924 lol. I think you means decade or last few decades.
Their latest was 1988. So it’s been 33 years since they have tasted glory. We are absolutely more relevant and a new age blue blood over ND.
LSU is 100 fold a better job and that’s with .500 seasons in back to back years and them being 11-1 this year. That says a lot
It says more that their coach left for us

The media wants and believes that certain markets are entitled to a status that not other programs are worthy of receiving
As far as they are concerned a bunch of down south swamp-billy caricatures just came in and disrespected them and upset the fragile order of things. The sports media does not think highly of us, they laugh at us as caricatures. This also explains the crap they spew about Kelly not being a good fit. They see him as an intelligent northern ball coach that could not possibly fit in with a bunch of inbred cajun hicks. We need a guy that is “one of us”, a dumb loud mouth oaf like Orgeron. That is what they think of we deserve that is what they think of the south
This is also why you will mostly only hear praise for the riley hire, Despite Lincoln leaving the school he “loved” and absolutely poaching them of everything they have, as the LA market restored order

CBK answer to O Linemen Question
Q. You’ve had a lot of success in developing offensive linemen, which is a position group that LSU has struggled with, especially this year. I’m wondering what do you look for in those offensive linemen, and how do you go about developing them, and how can you bring that to LSU?
BRIAN KELLY: You’re looking at what their demeanor is. Playing that offensive line position requires a profile that I like to stick with. I’m not going to get into the specifics right now, but there’s a demeanor, there’s a profile. There’s a brotherhood on that offensive line that we build, and that brotherhood is real. Those guys are selfless, and they are the backbone of any great offense that I’ve ever coached. If you have that kind of resume, sign up. We’re looking for you. That’s the starting point. When it comes to development, it’s hard work. We’re ready to take on those kind of young men that have those special qualities and are ready to really dig in and put in the time.

I keep watching this Brian Kelly PMAC speech, and for the life of me I have no idea what they’re talking about with this southern accent thing.
I know this is a dead horse and I apologize for starting a new thread about it, but the lesson I take is that the sports media is every bit the assclown factory the news media is.
BTW, to make it worth everybody’s while, I heard this evening that Kelly likes Andre Carter, and that Carter and Corey Raymond look like they’ll both be back AS OF RIGHT NOW. But if Notre Dame doesn’t make the playoffs, and they probably won’t, there will be a couple of coaches off that staff who could take a second look at coming here.
We’ll see. I am not gonna claim insider status and I ain’t guaranteeing any of this as gospel.

Da []_[] is back!
I been thinking, reminiscing since watching the Oregon game last night… a lot of talk out there about brining Mario home…he’ll improve recruiting and keep the best players in S. Fla… but let’s be real, he’s kind of a corch…. got his cheeks clapped big time twice in a row by Utah, 62-60 record, fired from FIU…. Oregon didn’t even hire him as a HC, he got promoted when Taggart when to TrailerTown…. I mean, I guess if we can get him for the low that might be worth it, but with Oregon putting up that Phil Knight money up to keep him, is he really worth winning a big bidding war over? Are we really going to give him Jimbo/Brian Kelly money to come home? We could, but is that better than where we at now? I don’t think so…
A lot of talk about Lane too…he’s a good coach, Ole miss is well coached, and it’s not just all Corral, he got hurt as the year went on and they used Connor and Ealy behind stout OL play to develop a strong run game, the D is still pretty trash but was able to get enough stops to win down the stretch too…but he apparently doesn’t like to recruit and is a sketchy weirdo….yeah he has a house in S. Fla, but why do we want someone who loves to vacation here be here full time? We want someone recruiting hard and coaching not chasing co-eds, fishing, and whatever else Freshwater would possibly want do down here…
So…I was watching that game and it got me thinking….and I started reminiscing about if Cristobal is the answer…I lit up a fat L to get my mind flowing….and then it hit me….
As Utah’s qb Rising patted that Duck’s defender helmet in the endzone, with smoke rising all around me, it hit me… The “MAN” to bring back the “U” is right in front of our faces, hiding in plain sight, so obvious that we don’t even notice it like we don’t notice how the sky is blue, or how grass is green… the answer, the “MAN” to bring back the “U” is…
Kyle Wittingham…
Think about it…dude has a ton of P5 coaching experience (nearly 2 decades)…he has conference championships in the G5 MW, and now the the P5 Pac12…his Utes play tough, nasty, and with attitude, just like those classic “U” teams we all reminisce about… and that’s with Utah talent, imagine what he’d so with S. Fla talent….
Take a look at his track record:
1. 144-69 HC record (.676 winning %)
2. Has a winning record vs Nick Saban (who else can say THAT!?!)
3. Built Utah from a G5 program to Pac 12 Champions
4. Outscored Mario 76-17 in the past month head to head
5. Handpicked by Urban Meyer to replace him at Utah
6. And much more
Dude is a DUDE…period…
But what are the drawbacks…does he fit the Miami culture? can he recruit?
Let’s dissect this step by step…we got a “culture fit” as coach right now, his name is Manny Diaz and his dad is a well-connected local politician, how much better of a culture fit is that? But he’s a corch…Mario fits and his a known recruiter…but 76-17….and let’s be serious, if Mario is gonna kill it in recruiting in Miami, the admin is gonna have to drop SERIOUS bags, like really SERIOUS Phil Knight NIKE NIL sized Bags…If we bring in KW and we drop serious, serious, SERIOUS bags, he can probably lock down S. Fla no problem…without adminitration buy-in we’re looking to pay $8-10 mil for Manny 2.0 with Mario because he won’t be able to recruit as well without Nike/ Phil Knight Bags…
KW not known as a recruiter really, but think about it, what’s his recruiting pitch to get kids to go to Utah? Probably like: “Do you kids know who Joseph Smith is?” or “Can I tell you about the Book of Mormon?”…seriously, how is he supposed to recruit bigtime with those pitches?…if he came to Miami and the admin got him bags, he’ll recruit just fine….
But now, the other side of the coin with the culture question is will KW want to come here? It seems like he might not be a culture fit, but as lee corso says “not so fast my friend”…peep this…
first of all he should be easily able to persuade….he’s been in utah for over 2 decades, this is a state where the majority of the population believe that Jesus dropped off scriptures for Joseph Smith to find to start a new religion in a country that didn’t even exist when Jesus was alive…can you say gullible? he should be easy to convince to get out of Utah to Miami….
Also if he’s mormon, just bring him Nikki Beach on a nice day and tell him “look at all these chicas that could be your wives out here, you got talent like this sitting on the coasts of Salt Lake?”…dude would become a culture fit right then and there…
And finally I say he’s already a culture fit…think about it…he already has been coaching a program for 2 decades that throws up the “U” when they score a TD, run out the tunnel, or make a big play….He just needs to add a few fingers around those index fingers and BOOM…he’s there.
Kyle Whittingham is a bit older but he can give us abouy 7-8 good years of good coaching and program building and if he doesn’t win a natty, he’ll stock the roster and elevate the program enough for the next guy to come in and get the job done…in other words…he could be the next bUtch Davis.
tl;dr
Kyle Whittingham is “the MAN” to bring the “U” back!!!!!!!!! Maybe even the next Butch….
Da []_[] is back!
Not being Debbie Downer, just realistic.
With all the leaks about Raaahd The Impaler and Super Mario…
AND no decisive announcement about them coming to our University of Miami…
not encouraging developments.
Let me be clear, this is not to say they won’t end up, BUT if their minds were truly made up to come. to Hecht, in light of all these leaks, I wod hope they are men lf character that wod stand up and tell their current organizations they are leaving. IF that had been done, the words wouldn’t finish echoing in those rooms before X x 10 leak sources broadcasting it far and wide.
I look forward to being wrong and the appropriate pull your tampon out ribbing deservedly comes my way.

Will the recruits follow Mario like they are following Lincoln Riley? Should we expect some of them horses he is recruiting to Oregon to flip to Miami?
Da []_[] is back!
If Mario comes to Miami, some recruits will follow. Some will stay with Oregon and some may go to another school besides UM. Rest assured, Riley is already pursuing some of Mario’s recruits to Oregon and recruiting got tougher in the Pac 12 this week.
Da []_[] is back!
If Mario comes home can y’all imagine justin flowe, T2 and possibly Wesley to go with chase smith? Instant upgrade at LB.
Da []_[] is back!
Kris Moll is in the portal from UAB. He’s as good as anyone in America at MLB to play beside Keontra at WLB and Chase Smith at SLB.
Would be my first call if I got hired. Him and Elias Ricks or the Bama corner

Brian Kelly had it figured correctly.
Notre Dame not in playoffs
Got an earlier start for recruiting and staff formation
Haters gonna hate
Da []_[] is back!
Joe brady to Miami?? Heard he is not a fan of recruiting, but When TVD wins the Heisman, the position will recruit itself. UM, Heisman QBs, with NIL? He can sit on his sofa eating cheetos during recruiting season and high school QBs will be blowing up his phone.
Da []_[] is back!
MARIO CRISTOBAL = next Miami coach
Don’t worry about Georgia anymore
Because Da []_[] is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Da []_[] is back!
Oregon fans went from “Pfft, we got Phil Knight money, Cristobal would never leave here, we’re a top program in the PAC-12, better facilities, less competition in recruiting, blablabla” to “Whatever, he sucked anyway. He can’t coach. Wasn’t ever that good anyway. We can do better.” 🤣
Da []_[] is back!
Let’s fucking gooooooooo!!!!
RAD AND CRISTOBAL WELCOME TO THE U!!!!!
WELCOME BACK HOME.
BEM-VINDO MEU IRMÃOS!!!!!

Why would USC care?
I don’t see why they would care if he’s fricking a booster’s wife at OU right up to the point he is hired away.
The only issue is if OU could prove he was recruiting for USC while on OU’s payroll. This is obviously a conflict of interest that could cause a legal problem for USC if it proved they were participating in the fraud.
I think it’s a long-shot though. The behind the scenes shenanigans associated with college football are so ingrained in the system that I’m not sure OU could open that can of worms without making themselves vulnerable for similar situations in the future.
Athletic directors talk a big game about feeling betrayed when a coach leaves. I get it; it makes sense if they think their most visible employee isn’t working for them in reality. But, there’s generally little they can do except fire someone. There is one example of a guy getting fired for interviewing for another job (Jeff Jagodzinski at Boston College for interviewing with the Jets.) But, that’s a case where the AD knew about the desire to interview and specifically told JJ if he interviewed, he would get fired. I know of other cases where a coach interviewed without telling the AD, everyone got mad, but in the end nobody did anything and the coach still has his job many years later (though his ice might be getting thin.)
It’s an ugly business, not for the fainthearted.
GEAUX TIGERS!
Fire Dan Mullen
By “pandemic” you mean the UAA. The UAA has a love affair with mike white .
They will never fire him unless he misses the ncaa tournament like twice in a row and they get saved by the field being so large and watered down
They love him he is jeremy Foley’s protected pet

This Mickey Mouse athletic department like who the hell is in charge ?
I hope billy napeir works out I really do but it’s super scary that our only candidate we even vetted is from a group of 5 school when everyone including even Miami is going out and hiring big splash guys . Like do we even know if Lincoln Riley wanted the Florida job ?
Did we tell lane Kiffin no because of his “personality”?
What won Stricklin over with napeir was a clip of him saying excuse me to a woman in a hall way during a tv interview?
Like don’t get me wrong mannors are important and should be taught in like church and stuff but this is ******** football for crying out loud. Like it wasn’t something football related that won u over?
Again hope it works out I’m rooting for Napier but this is a prime example why our football and men’s basketball programs are in the mess that they are in
Like white lost to a 15 seed with a nba lottery pick not even taking a shot in the last 10 minutes what the hell else is there to see??????????

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true
I said
Dance hall days love
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true
I said
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true
I said
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days, love

Let’s dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance
To the song they’re playin’ on the radio
Let’s sway
While color lights up your face
Let’s sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run
I’ll run with you
And if you say hide
We’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let’s dance
Let’s dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let’s dance
For fear tonight is all
Let’s sway
You could look into my eyes
Let’s sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
And if you say run
I’ll run with you
And if you say hide
We’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let’s dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
Let’s dance
Let’s dance
Let’s dance, dance, dance

I’ve had a little bit too much, much (oh, oh, oh)
All of the people start to rush (start to rush by)
A dizzy twister dance, can’t find my drink or man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone (oh, oh, oh)
What’s goin’ on on the floor?
I love this record, baby, but I can’t see straight anymore (woo!)
Keep it cool, what’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember but it’s alright, a-alright
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record, babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance
Wish I could shut my playboy mouth (oh, oh, oh)
How’d I turn my shirt inside out? (Inside out, right)
Control your poison, babe, roses have thorns, they say
And we’re all gettin’ hosed tonight (oh, oh, oh)
What’s goin’ on on the floor?
I love this record, baby, but I can’t see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember but it’s alright, a-alright (woo!)
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record, babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just
When I come through on the dance floor checkin’ out that catalog (hey)
Can’t believe my eyes, so many women without a flaw (hey)
And I ain’t gon’ give it up, steady tryna pick it up like a call (hey)
I’ma hit it, I’ma beat it and flex and do it until tomorr’ yeah
Shawty I can see that you got so much energy
The way you’re twirlin’ up them hips ’round and ’round
And now there’s no reason at all why you can’t leave here with me
In the meantime stay and let me watch you break it down
And dance, gonna be okay (oh) da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance (ooh yeah), spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm

Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, it’s symphonic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint electronic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, it’s symphonic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint electronic
Go!
Use your muscle, carve it out, work it, hustle

Drive it, clean it, lights out, bleed it, spend the lasto

UF and FSU are scared sh!tless. They know. Trust me, they have never seen a high octane Miami operating like a top tier college football team. Never, not even when we won, which is why it fell off in the early 2000s. I imagine even Clemson fans are up in arms.
