It appears that this thread is no longer about Billy Napier.
Just go shampoo your hair. It appears Billy is missing a little something on his resume still, but I would be happy for him to move on to greener pastures sooner rather than later. If not he may eventually beat an App team.

BN may get an offer from Boone, although that might be considered a lateral move.
Pretty sure that would be a pay decrease, and it would be as lateral a move as he could make. His name has not surfaced and I would be shocked if there is any interest from either party.

After APSU makes a deep run you guys should take a long look at Hudspeth. All he would have to do is cut the "P" out.

Funny you say that, he would never go over with the App crowd. He whined about us joining the SB, then he whined about how hard it was to reach Boone from Lafayette. He burned bridges he never built.
Looks like we are going to go with Clark. The App natives have had their fill with short-termers and will frown upon anyone from outside the family this go round. Plus we have to salvage what we can with our recruiting efforts. Clark checks all the boxes.

Now it looks like App AD headed to Cincinnati. The price of success. In football at least.
Feeling a little more comfortable suggesting we have dodged this bullet for now.

Can't imagine it's any easier getting from Boone to Lafayette. :D

Precisely, but naturally it's easier for hillbillies to navigate swamps than it is for cajun folk to traverse mountains. Legend is the Hudspeth led cajuns lost their equipment wagon and a prized team of oxen on their way through the Linville Gorge. They did not like; the weather, having to scavenge for food, sleeping in tents and losing (again) to a lessor opponent.

To his credit, BN has never complained about App or its location. I figure he wants out of that swamp and have no doubt that unlike his predacessor he will leave for a better gig.

Despite being very hard to get to, and me leaving incredibly unhappy the two times I went (2005 & 2006), Boone is beautiful and I would love to go back for a non-football adventure.

If you are looking for a culinary adventure, Lafayette wins hands down. It's only a short distance from the Tabasco plant. Try finding a crawfish plate half-and-half in Boone!

Since he's an alum I put it in the FU football forum....looks like he's about to hit paydirt....Ole Miss, Arkansas and maybe even Florida State...

"Napier makes $875,000 at Louisiana-Lafayette. " <--IMHO, he's already hit paydirt.
