If LSU lets Napier go to Florida, that's a major whiff by the administration
apparently they are still going all-in on Lincoln Riley.....

Well Riley's getting richer either way.

Florida coaching search: Matt Campbell, Billy Napier reportedly viewed as Gators' top choices (247sports.com)

Interesting, a bit, if true.  Folks had Napier staying in the state of LA.

I am content to wait and simply be a bit amused at the sportswriters.

Napier would take the lsu gig if offered--he came on Moscona's show to openly campaign for the job--but I'm pretty sure he hasn't been offered and won't be. 

I'd rather take a shot with a guy like him than the splash hire like Riley.  There's winning the press conference and there's winning the hire, and they're not necessarily the same thing.  But that's Woody's m.o. and that's what he was hired for and what (possibly shortsighted) power brokers want.  He brought Pedersen to U-dubb and Jimbo to A&M, and the majority of the people who matter expect him to get a name like Riley or Franklin or someone of that recognition.  They didn't bring Woody to hire a Napier...however much the right decision that may or may not be. 

I don't really look forward to him being UF's coach.

Riley's a darn good coach, he'd be by far the best coach LSU has had since Nick Saban.

would his style of not playing any defense work though in the SEC?

SEC offenses aren't  as prolific as B12 offenses.  His defenses would look significantly better in the SEC.

I agree he's a good coach, but he seems to have a definite ceiling...OU doesn't fare too well outside of the big 12 and that would concern me.  My preference is to take chances on someone that may have a higher ceiling with the risk of a lower floor (Napier, say). 

It's academic still...I'm not really sure why Riley would leave OU, even for the rumored $12 mil/year.  

Your other comment....you're a few years behind...the SEC offenses have been amongst the best for several years now.  I don't know by what metric I should buy that sec offenses aren't as good as big 12 ones.  Riley would have to field a stout defense or the base won't be with him.  That's the gig in BR.

I'm comfortable with my assertion.

Riley's defense would look plenty good against shit-ass offenses like the one LSU is facing tonight, for example.
