OT: Norvell vs Napier

[Lurker123]

I was one of those. Him or chadwell.

It's just funny to me because there were a lot of people, here and elsewhere who were convinced Napier should have been the hire here. I don't blame Florida for hiring him. It made sense. Sometimes good hires don't work out. That's happened here as well.

The hot list a few years ago was: Tom Herman, Justin Fuente, Billy Napier.

I was not particularly enthusiastic about the Beamer hire at the time, but the above list just goes to show that you never know. Those were 3 absolute can't miss guys and they are fired, fired and about to be fired.

Chadwell continues to pile on evidence that he's a winner. Not an argument or counter of any sort; just a statement. Liberty is 3-0 so far, hosting ECU this Sat.

A frequently overlooked point is that at Louisiana he had the advantage of better facilities, finances, and a better infrastructure concerning football over most of other schools in the Sun Belt.
At UF they do not necessarily have such an overwhelming advantage over other SEC programs. I'm not suggesting that is the main reason for his less than stellar results, but it is a point worth considering.
