Is there any one on here who can make a case for Napier over Kiffin

I'm being serious.

He has the third best record in the SEC over the last four years being at Ole Miss.

He is doubling up #2 Georgia.

He is going to the playoffs with Ole Miss.

Make the case Napier is better.

If there is anything AT ALL true about Golden, fire him, Stricklin, and let Napier carrier their luggage out the door with them. We have had a string of bad hires. I know Spurrier does not want to be involved in day-to-day operations, but we must have him more involved in the Coaching and AD hires, the man loves UF and would be the best judge of ability.

Not that I’m in favor of him staying, but these are some reasons for keeping him:
Players seem to love him.
Assistant coaches seem capable, particularly Gonzalez, Peterson and Juluke.
Seems to have built a good culture.
Adding an OC takes away his biggest negative.
A good recruiter (if we had a winning record and no hot seat).

A great culture of losing.

Kiffin is not going be a Gator. He's not leaving Ole Miss to come to Gainesville. USC? Maybe.

I would rather not have Kiffin as a coach but it doesn't matter because he's not ever going to be Gator.

Hopefully Napier figures this out and, if he doesn't, Jed Fisch is where we should be focusing. We might persuade him to come home and he seems like a good one.

Fisch is way below Cignetti as my choice. Anyone who can make Indiana relevant is elite.

Kiffin's son is moving to Oxford to start high school. He probably won't leave there now for at least three years.

We missed our window.

We're stuck with Basement Billy.

Let it go.

We won a big game and I love it but do you think that makes Napier a better coach than Kiffin?
Probably as good. Kiffin never actually wins anything. Ever. Year after year after year. He's been fired midseason twice. Kiffin's prowess is just myth. Kiffin is a lot like Mike Leach. Entertaining but never going to win you a championship.
