7 reasons why it will be Billy Napier

[chirurgo]

1. He has a good history of calling plays as an OC for a power 5 school(Clemson). A better history than his predecessor Matt Canada did when he was hired by PItt.
2. Has a connection to the Pitt coaching staff in Andre Powell. They coached together at Clemson.
3. Is the recruiting coordinator at Alabama. See how high they are rated in recruiting rankings. This is a place Pitt also needs help, especially since they are trying to recruit southern talent.
4. Saban just retained Locksley who was an offensive analyst for Bama this past year and paid under $50000. He was rumored to be kiffin's pick for OC until Saban paid to retain him but didn't name his title. He will likely takeover Napier's job.
5. Napier sent a smoke signal via Twitter by following Conklin and Narduzzi. Why would an Alabama coach have any other reason to do that? I am a proud Pitt alum and fan but I can't see how anyone from Alabama would give a damn about anyone at Pitt unless they had an offer with some money.
6. Napier likely wants out since he was passed over for the OC job and would probably leave Alabama to get the autonomy Narduzzi is willing to give him as an OC. He is young and would use it as a stepping stone to a head coaching job somewhere but so will anyone else.
7. Napier is probably obligated to stay at Alabama until after LOI day so as to not disrupt their class.

Does reason work concerning college football coaching searches and Pitt?

Actually, I think Coach Duzz is a pretty good problem solver - I hope you're correct that he has a good candidate ready to go (in 2 weeks).

Go Pitt

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

When it comes to Bama, I want to read JpRipper88 Posts too, he knows Pitt and Bama. I like your thinking but sure filling this job is taking long.

Was at Pitt Today, Jordan Whitehead arms totally Healed I was told, might have some news on Foster Tomorrow.

Addendum:
Chirurgo, Today at 8:54 PM
1. He has a good history of calling plays as an OC for a power 5 school(Clemson). A better history than his predecessor Matt Canada did when he was hired by PItt.
I did not know that and agree but can Napier be as Innovative as Canada did in less than a year.

2. Has a connection to the Pitt coaching staff in Andre Powell. They coached together at Clemson.
Good Info Again!

3. Is the recruiting coordinator at Alabama. See how high they are rated in recruiting rankings. This is a place Pitt also needs help, especially since they are trying to recruit southern talent.
Bama has 30 Staffers on Recruiting Alone, and could serve as Great Blueprint to improve Pitt's Own Staff under a New Athletic Director help chosen by Coach Pat too!

4. Saban just retained Locksley who was an offensive analyst for Bama this past year and paid under $50000. He was rumored to be Kiffin's pick for OC until Saban paid to retain him but didn't name his title. He will likely takeover Napier's job.
Once again, makes good sense!

5. Napier sent a smoke signal via Twitter by following Conklin and Narduzzi. Why would an Alabama coach have any other reason to do that? I am a proud Pitt alum and fan but I can't see how anyone from Alabama would give a damn about anyone at Pitt unless they had an offer with some money.
Great Info!

6. Napier likely wants out since he was passed over for the OC job and would probably leave Alabama to get the autonomy Narduzzi is willing to give him as an OC. He is young and would use it as a stepping stone to a head coaching job somewhere but so will anyone else.
Ditto as Above!

7. Napier is probably obligated to stay at Alabama until after LOI day so as to not disrupt their class.
Excellent Analysis!

Two Last Points......I

1. if it is Napier then does Robert Foster follow with him, like Peterman and Hendrix followed Jim Chaney? I think it is why it has been so quiet on the Foster Front lately, and Napier would know how to use Foster faster than any other OC!

2. Bama Underclassman Junior WR ArDarius Stewart also Declared for the NFL Draft!

Just adding Info, I have no clue but do trust on Coach Narduzzi'z Judgment Chaney was was a good pick and Canada a great pick, but hope Pitt gets an OC that stays at Pitt at least 2 to 3 years but just as good was both if not better.

Your first premise is absolutely false. Not sure where you could even come up with that. Matt Canada has been calling plays as an OC for nearly 20 years. Napier did it for 2, and that was 6 years ago no less.

Who do u want for OC?

 

[Pitt1992]

I don't care how many years a guy has in being an OC as much as I do with how he connects with the players and the other coaches,if they can work well together and he can recruit we will get results

More Info By Link: OC Canada was fired by NCS too.

Fired from Clemson, Billy Napier took new route at Bama
PHOENIX — Six years ago, Billy Napier’s route appeared straight and smooth. He did not know that one abrupt turn would redirect his career but reaffirm his values. From 2003 to 2009, Napier accelerated rapidly from a standout career as a Furman University quarterback to a promising start as offensive coordinator at Clemson University. One year later, the man who made Napier the youngest coordinator in school history made Napier the first cut of a makeover. Napier wandered briefly in remorse and regret. Yet, his GPS was not malfunctioning. It was recalculating. His destination did not change. He simply needed a new route...............

What Happened Between Clemson Coaches Dabo Swinney and Billy Napier?
By Jeffrey Fann , Analyst Oct 13, 2009
The hot topic coming out about Clemson this week was the rumored altercation between head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Billy Napier at last Wednesday's practice. This has turned into an Internet mini-sensation. There are reports of Swinney changing up to 25 of Napier's calls per game, and that during the final Clemson drive of the Maryland game, Dabo signaled a different call from Napier and didn't change the protection scheme, which resulted in a sack of quarterback Kyle Parker. The reports go even so far as to claim that Napier is often unaware that Dabo is even changing the call. These are stemming from a handful of independent websites that I won't link because they are unsubstantiated rumors, but they did create enough of a buzz to have Swinney answer questions about it in this week's press conference. In that regard, it became a legitimate story. What really happened then? During Swinney's press conference he addressed the alleged rift. This has really been blown out of proportion. Sounds like just a couple of coaches getting into it after a tough loss.

For Clemson, this is a good sign in my opinion. When losing becomes acceptable and coaches are satisfied with moral victories, you might as well hang it up and go home. Both coaches stated the situation is old news.............

Regarding point #3, you seem to have the mistaken view that many have that a recruiting coordinator is a big recruiter, one that greatly impacts the quality of recruits that come to a school. That's totally incorrect. A Recruiting Coordinator is a boring admin job, often done by a young assistant. They plan the travel on visits, manage calendars, update the recruiting database for other coaches, gather transcripts, handle travel expenses from visits, work on compliance issues, etc.
Here are the functions of the position posted a few years ago at U of Texas:

• Coordinate the daily recruiting operational and logistical processes within the University of Texas Football Program.
• Plan and supervise execution of twelve (12) month vision of Recruiting Calendar (Mail, video, graphics, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).
• Identify, evaluate, collect data, collect video, etc. on prospects to provide direction to the Coaching Staff through available and permissible sources (e.g., recruiting services, internet, event website, etc.)
• Monitor permissible recruiting websites at direction of the coaching staff to provide them updates on committed prospects and prospects coaches identify.
• Create and update recruiting lists at the direction of the coaching staff.
• Coordinate updates to the recruiting database.
• Monitor the number of contacts and evaluations conducted by the coaching staff and work with Athletics Compliance Services to ensure records are consistent.
• Coordinate securing, evaluating and filing of transcripts for selected prospects in collaboration with Student Services and Compliance Services Staff.
• Supervise planning and coordinating of official and unofficial visits to campus (itineraries, travel, hotel, hosts, meals, name tags, seating charts, compliance paperwork, complimentary tickets, etc.).
• Coordinate completion and submission of required paperwork and expense reports.
• Coordinate solicitation and securing up-to-date physicals for annual football camp.
• Supervise coordination of travel (commercial, charter and state pooling board) for coaches on the road recruiting.
• Supervise operator/dispatcher when coaches and/or prospects are traveling to campus.
• Monitor and work collaboratively with the staff to keep them updated on changes in the rules (University, Big 12, and NCAA).
• Serve as a liaison between all departments on recruiting matters (compliance, student services, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, travel, business, facilities, housing, parking, tickets, etc.)
• Position will supervise On Campus Recruiting Coordinator, Administrative Assistant/Associate, and Recruiting Assistant.

Thanks. I think all of those would be welcome experience for the coaching staff.

"Absolutely False"?? He has 9 years as a coordinator. More than half of those was at a MAC school. Followed that with a year at Wisconsin, 3 at NC state and 1 at Pitt. Point being he had as much potential for this job as Napier does now.

Bad is correct, Canada had a MUCH stronger resume as an OC.
I get the appeal and would get behind him, but lets be honest about him, he would be a markedly less accomplished hire than Chaney and Canada.
And he follows A LOT of people on Twitter, and followed other college AND nfl coaches recently.

This a good post. I'd bet the best recruiters are the polar opposite of the person (likely plural in some elite programs) who fill this role. They're important because they set the table and clean up the sloppy messes of the mundane junk the dynamic hustler and shakers who do the recruiting, but the organized, careful nature of the job itself suggests they wouldn't be good at the recruiting side.

You've likely noticed similar yourself when buying a car. The sales person is typically the slick, hustling "people person". The best seem to thrive on the chase. But they typically are bad at the details and paper work after the deal. In fact most dealers shuffle you off to a far less frenetic type in the back room for that.

Some good info in there.

I disagree with the Canada comparison but understand your point.

Gotta watch these hard ass gangsters on the thread though they don't play

Steve Pederson was a recruiting coordinator at OSU.

 

[PittHOFs]

I believe Napier is going to be the new OC but I don't understand waiting until after LOI Day. If Napier really is upset and wants out of Bama for being passed over then why not leave asap?? That part doesn't make much sense. Why should he care about him leaving hurting Bama's recruiting class? Doesn't add up.....

And Foster hates Napier so not sure he would transfer here if Napier is the OC.

 

[thebadby2]

"Absolutely False"?? He has 9 years as a coordinator. More than half of those was at a MAC school. Followed that with a year at Wisconsin, 3 at NC state and 1 at Pitt. Point being he had as much potential for this job as Napier does now.

10 years as OC, 2 years at NIU, 5 in the B10, 3 at NCSU. That;s a helluva lot more experience than Napier has, 5 times more by my count.

Napier was an OC for 2 total seasons, 6 years ago. One of those two seasons was a disaster. And for these posts blaming Napier's bad second year on Dabo, I would counter by saying it seems Dabo has done pretty well for himself since jettisoning Napier.

 

[thebadby2]

Steve Pederson was a recruiting coordinator at OSU.

That;s true--and at Nebraska and Tennessee. Each school had a #1 overall recruiting class during SP's time as recruiting coordinator. For whatever that;s worth.

Perhaps he has a financial incentive to stick around? Not sure. I wouldn't think sticking around for LOI would matter too much if you have another job lined up. Its like landing a new job but sticking around at the old one for a few months to finish up a big project....that usually doesn't fly with the new employer.

What is the evidence Foster hates Napier? Not that I don't believe you but I haven't heard this before.

 

[chirurgo]

I think he sticks around for LOI because of an agreement with Saban. I would think he wouldn't want to burn the bridge.

Napier had a less talented Clemson team in the top 5 offensively one of those years. Canada was fired from his NC state job and was bounced around a lot. I like Napier's pedigree and am just not seeing a big gap between him and Canada (again from where Canada came from). Northern Illinois doesn't qualify as a relevant place to build a resume in my book. I will give you Nebraska, Wisconsin and NC state. But he didn't last long enough at any of them. So to me that's a wash. Calling plays? I am sure he was paying attention the last 6 yrs at Alabama to learn how to more effectively playcall. As far as Dabo firing him...maybe he wanted more autonomy and Dabo didn't see it that way. Could say the same for Canada at NC state.

Maybe PN is good at finding an OC who wil flourish with more autonomy.

Thanks for the continued conversation and feedback.

 

[MajorMajors]

I've never gotten the sense that Bama is some kind of incubator for creative play-calling. Much like Ohio, they depend more on their athletes to best your athletes. That said, Napier would appear to be a good hire - if it's him.

 

[pittzap]

Here's my thought....zero leaks. No one who covers Pitt knows anything.

That leads me to believe he has the guy already. What is the holdup? LOI day? Currently coaching in the NFL?

You could say he has struck out some some guys, but the more people he interviews or reaches out to, the more chances of a leak from Pitt guys or the guys who know the new OC or ones who said no.

I know some folks who are close to Foster. He wasn't recruiting by Napier....the WR coach that recruiting Foster left right after LOI to the NFL. Napier favored other WR's over him is what I am being told.

Hah. No, no, no, no, no. Those are completely different jobs and CERTAINLY an entirely different function for the football staff. I cannot believe anywhere here believes any of our on field assistants do that stuff, let alone Alabama's on field assistants. Alabama has an army of support staffers and "special assistants" to do that stuff.
