"Is an absoloute beast on the recruiting trail. Great guy to have on your staff, while I like billy and hope he gets a better gig than Co st, I sure hope he doesnt land in tallahasse"
"Great coach and ace recruiter. Would be a great hire for y'all."
"Yep, great coach and recruiter. Would be a heck of a pick up. He just wasn't quite ready to offensive coordinator at the time he was here. That is not to say he wouldn't be a very good one down the road. I liked a lot of what he packaged and I liked his interviews. Has a bit of a prickly side which personally I like...kind of he tells you what he's thinking and feeling whether you like it or not...Really would like to have him back at CU in some capacity."
"What I can tell you is that Dabo wants no part of Napier being in Tally. That I can promise you."
"I think he's a pretty serviceable offensive coach who was difficult to assess as an "OC" due to Dabo's dabbling, Kyle Parker's injury in 2010 and some bad receivers. That said, if I were a southern power i'd hire him in a second, stick him coaching RB's, TE's or WR's, and make him the RC. He'd do pretty well in that role I think."
"I always thought Napier was overrated a little both recruiting and coaching. I like Pearman better as a TE coach...Napier obviously crushes him in the recruiting category"
"Billy was in way over his head, but he wasn’t all bad. Just inexperienced. I remember many games where Clemson came out and the first drive or maybe two that were clearly scripted were really well done, almost beautiful. They would look unstoppable. Then once adjustments were made they’d stall and get predictable. Maybe he’s learned something in the last couple of years, but I doubt that he’s ready for FSU. Very good recruiter though"
"Like others have said, he was a great recruiter, he and Dabo made a dangerous combo. Not sure how he would help out with the blocking part, but he was a good WR coach."
"As for Clemson fans hating on Napier, I wouldn’t blame all of the 2010 mess on him, I would blame most of it on Kyle Parker"
"Great recruiter and pretty good position coach. He was put in way over his head as OC."
