@brocknoxious@On3@walexander It is not an excellent hire. You will learn soon enough. Also us knocking on Napier doesn’t mean we’re knocking on JMU. We just know from experience Napier sucks and we feel bad that you guys made a horrible hire. Especially after the last 2 guys u had.
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB But never did. Or him not ever embracing the UF fans by keeping everything so secretive and then having losing season after losing season. Him never wearing our team colors. And him never taking responsibility for his failures. Then immediately he hires an OC when he’s fired
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB I’m not talking about the comments he’s made in the Matt Hayes article. I’m talking about the comments he made about Florida gator fans that were frustrated with him living in their parents basement and the gas lighting the fans about saying he would hire an OC since year 2
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB If you had your same AD that hired Chesney and Cignetti I would get the optimism but since he is no longer there I think you should taper expectations. In terms of Napier my hatred of him isn’t due directly to his failure here but to his gaslighting and insulting of our fanbase
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB We will see how much free rein he actually gives his OC. He seems like a nice guy because he doesn’t act cocky or arrogant but his actions definitely didn’t mirror his nice guy facade at UF. Napier does evaluate talent relatively well. Sucks at coaching them up
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB Look I don’t have an issue with JMU personally I’m trying to warn you guys from falling for the same sh*t we did. JMU does have a lot going for it but this hire is going to set you guys back. Hopefully you realize it faster than UF did and go out and hire a good coach soon
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB Also go back and look at his time at Louisiana. If you are actually willing to look at it without bias you will see he got insanely lucky. The amount of one score games he was in with horrendous teams is insane and he was lucky enough to pretty much win all of them but that’s
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB He never thanked those that gave him the opportunity or the UF fans that did support him. Even coaches like Brian Kelly wrote a thank you letter. When Brian Kelly makes you look bad you know you’re a POS. What has he done since UF? Blame everyone but himself for his failures
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB Billy Napier never embraced UF, never wore our colors, constantly gas light out fan base and insulted us as well as members of his staff. Refused to hire an OC in 4 years. All while getting more financial support than any UF coach in history. At the end when he was fired
@ISmokeEmWet@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB Put it this way. Many JMU fans are trashing UF fans and UF, saying that UF is and has been irrelevant minus 2 coaches. Yet out of all that irrelevancy you guys hired the worst coach in 75 years at UF making us the most irrelevant we’ve been. That’s 22 years before JMU had a team
@Mush83758068@MattHayesCFB So Florida has been nothing all time minus 2 coaches yet in the last 75 years Billy Napier has been the worst UF coach and JMU are bragging about hiring him
@lut46895@MattHayesCFB You’re trying to brag about and defend a coach who was fired by UF, arguably one of the worst in program history, and with a losing record. That says a lot about the academic standards at JMU.
@lut46895@MattHayesCFB Lol I know math is probably hard for you but JMU has an alumni base of 170,000 worldwide UF has over 500,000 not to mention it’s the premier university in the state of Florida. Just so you know 500,000 is more than 170,000 and JMU isn’t even a second tier university in Virginia
@lut46895@MattHayesCFB How many wins does JMU have in the CFP? How many D1 national championships? How many D1 conference championships? How many people give a f*ck about JMU?
