Yeah, don’t know how you can say he’s a bust.I am not ready to say that about Napier yet.
Napier, Judge, Sarkisian all appear to busts and love him or hate him Leach appears to have been the better hire than any of those guys. So Swing Your Sword!!!
Could care less about Napier. He snubbed us so he's not even worth mentioning at this point.
Napier was 40-12 before FL, inherited Mullen's leftovers (who everybody around here said was reason to pardon Slow Joe when he got here),
he beat #7 Utah, lost to a #11 and a #20, now should handle Eastern WA and Mizzou in next 2 weeks to bring him to 4-2 w/ losses to a #11 and a #20. Damn you're right he's a bust

Conveniently left out Heupel, Kiffin, and Pittman. Two do those three are in our division

Agree with other poster here. Sark is nowhere close to a bust. He was able to get two number 1 QBs in the nation to come. Ewers is hurt and when he comes back they likely run the table this year.Napier, Judge, Sarkisian all appear to busts and love him or hate him Leach appears to have been the better hire than any of those guys.

Everybody just assumes every rumor put out there by an agent is true when it comes to MSU. It's possible he snubbed us. But there have also been rumors that "everybody knew were true" that were pretty baseless.

Heupel was in year 2 at UCF and was 22-4 heading into 2020. We likely put out feelers, but there’s a good chance he shunned us knowing he’d get a bigger offer somewhere else, and he did.
Kiffin had already been hired by OM before we even fired JoMo….so it’s not really even worth discussing him, unless you just want to lay blame at Keenum’s feet for us not firing him after the Egg Bowl.
Pittman was a joke of a hire on paper that has turned out well for Arkansas. Credit to them for identifying a guy they had history with and finding a good fit from under the radar. Easy to say we should have made a hire like that in hindsight….much more difficult to see the future in the moment.
Overall, I’d say we still did pretty well with our hire.
I remember the rumor at one point was that Napier was ready to come here, but JoMo fooled around and won the Egg Bowl, so we kept him and left Napier in the lurch and by the time we fired JoMo after the Gator Bowl, Napier was like 'nah' and we ended up with Leach.

If we beat Arkansas next Saturday, Leach would take the lead in the "who has been the better hire?" race vs. Pittman.
Incredible to think that Huepel is going to be the successful ex-UCF coach and not Frost. I am having a hard time coming to terms with how poorly Frost did at Nebraska. I thought he was a lock to get them back towards legitimacy (not national power or anything, but 8-9 wins regularly).
ok just how much could you care less then?Could care less about Napier. ...
Joe inherited a top 5 defense. Your argument died right there.
Sark is only in his second season and Texas looks improved from last year. Ewers getting hurt against Bama was tough, they likely would’ve won that game.
Napier is only 4 games in and has a win over a top 10 team.
And we would have won at Arkansas last year if not for missing three field goals and a bad defensive holding call on fourth down.
