Quietmaninthecorner 1,945 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 There are some seriously dramatic posters in this thread. It is looking like a cross between a preteen girl's birthday party going to a Justin Bieber concert and an old lady's bridge club gossip room.. Yeah, lot's of this news SUCKS, but there is no reason to get all hyper and dramatic about it. Man up and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones Field 47 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 JGT: Latest on Napier: We’re told he pulled his name from consideration after he was offered limited flexibility on staff hires. Napier wanted full authority. It’s a ballsy move for a younger coach, but he’s not your normal young coach. His pedigree is outstanding and he also has that trailblazer attitude. He’s the kind of guy who walks when he’s seen enough. He’s heard the chatter about Auburn’s political treachery, saw it with his own eyes with the staff edict and said: Nope, I’m good. Interesting twist to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napier and company can kiss it. We will find a great coach in spite of this clown show we have been forced to watch unfold. That's what you do. I've done it several times. You interview to see if it fits, and if it doesn't, you walk. What clown for take a job where the circumstances aren't right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,837 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I would very clearly explain to Jimmy Rane and the ptb that their true worth isn't in how much money they give, but in what their contributions bring to Auburn. Jimmy Rane's contributions couldn't even bring in Louisiana's head coach. So is there any point to taking his money??? Why keep a structural model that can't even bring in the head coach of UL LAFAYETTE?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't reflect poorly on Napier, just the opposite, it reflects poorly on Auburn, and the s***-show that is Auburn athletics. No HC should be made to hire who the boosters want. No coach should have their hands tied like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this in a previous thread, but it makes a ton of sense. Basically, I was talking to a USCe fan and Napier pulled his name from contention there, because he wanted $5m and full autonomy with HIS staff making top 5% in their field.

aubietiger14 147 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Can’t blame Napier for pulling his name one bit. Auburn will look back and regret this. Can’t understand how Auburn (ptb) wants to win but won’t be hands off and let a coach win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
