Having family living in Florida… when looking at college's I did a Florida tour; UF, Rollins, USF, and Ringling. I almost became a Gator. Napier going to Florida is going to be fun to follow. I will be adding Florida to my very small favorite school list on my sports apps.

On a serious note; I will be curious to follow BN building his staff and if he reaches into the upstate. Based on his Lousiana staff makeup. I think Napier will look at some coaches that have Florida connections - UF has to start recruiting Florida better.
My recollection is that when Napier went to UL, he hired mostly Louisiana guys as assistant coaches. He may do a similar thing at Florida. Hire the local talent.
Didn't Art Baker hire a bunch of top flight S.C. high school coaches to be on his staff when he came to Furman? I think Sheridan and Satterfield might have been a couple of them?
