Good friend is a booster there. Has told me multiple times we'll win by 35 to which I laugh. I say, well, he hasn't watched us and he replies I havent watched them.

Says Dogs and Lebby in serious rebuild. Will take some time to recover from the Leach years where serious reaches and complete whiffs in recruiting along the defense and OL probably make them the "rock bottom of the SEC." They easily handled an FCS school week one he says he put zero stock in, in terms of a measuring stick for how the season would look. Lost @ Arizona State week 2, 30-23, in a game that was 30-3 over halfway thru the 3rd quarter when ASU called off the dogs, went soft zone, and Mississippi State was able to get some easy stuff underneath, score, gain some momentum, and suddenly ASU got tight before hanging on to win. ASU RB ran for 250-ish yards on MSU defense. Last night they lost to Toledo, at home, 41-17, in a disaster that was never a game. Toledo led 28-3 at halftime and had close to 500 yards of offense.

Point is, this is a booster's take on their program. Numbers may show Lebby's offense moving the ball, the QB having 7 TDs blah blah blah but this is not a good football team in, traditionally, any kind of shape to beat an SEC program in Year 3 of a regime. Our running game should move the ball, if not have a huge day, among quite a few advantages on paper. Of course the game isnt played on paper and we all know what we've watched under Napier.

Really struggling in this one or, worse, getting blown out would clearly signal a breaking point. I have seen attempts online to explain the Miami loss as "to a playoff team" and A&M as a loss to a program that has probably recruited as well as anyone else in America the last few years. And I dont think those statements are inaccurate. But the message they're inferring is and the Mississippi State game, it sounds like, can be used as a line in the sand for this group at this point. Gotta win this one.

Going to live in this thread for today to keep things in one place.....



The Day After: Pitch Forks & Witch Hunts

I want to talk about something today; this is not a shot at any other company that covers Florida athletics for a living.

Let's clear the air. The recent report about a team meeting (newly scheduled) for today is not accurate. I understand the current climate of uncertainty, but I'm here to provide you with the most reliable information, which is simply incorrect.

When the wheels are in motion, they only pick up speed. You are what your record says you are; in this case, the record says you are an overall 12-16 team. Your record says you are 3-12 in your last 15 games. Think about that for a moment. Again, this is not rocket science to figure out what comes next. The last tidbit I want to leave you with is that Billy Napier has had more home losses in two and a half years (6) than Spurrier or Meyer (5 each) in their careers.

As far as the decision-making process is concerned or, more importantly, the decision-makers - yes, clearly, yes, of course, they are talking just like the rest of the world. All anyone can do right now is jump on board for the rest of the ride, and we will see where and when it stops, but this ride is over. I am only giving you my opinion on the severity of the situation, and my take only reflects what I believe. When a search is underway publicly, or maybe not even until it is over, but when the time is right, and I am allowed to discuss, I will tell you how many there are and who they are - only the select few making the hire. There are two people that will be responsible for making this decision and I all I can tell you is one of them is on our site and you are very familiar with who he is.

Sounds like the end may be very near for Billy Napier. Nice guy ( Gonna be a rich guy with his 26.7 Million Dollar buyout ) but, he can’t coach worth a lick at this level. But, Mike Norvell shows you that you can be a Hero one day and a Goat the next.

It appears Billy Napier’s time as the head coach of the Florida Gators is coming to an end.

After Florida’s embarrassing 33-20 defeat to Texas A&M on Saturday — a game in which loud audible “fire Billy” chants could be heard in the second quarter — it seems fans are going to get their wish.

On3 reported that the University of Florida Board of Trustees has called a meeting for Sunday morning, and that coupled with the fact that Florida boosters have come up with the money to pay Napier’s buyout according to Matt Hayes of USA Today, could mean the 45-year-old coach might be looking for a new job as early as Sunday afternoon.

The last splash homerun hire we had was Urban. That is the last hire I got excited about. Muschamp had never been a head coach. Mcelwain had done very little at Colorado St. Mullen was decent at Ms. St. And don't even get me started on Napier. We HAVE to swing big. You start with Kiffin and then Meyer.

i have purposefully not checked the depravity on this thread for months. But I did today to see how many REAL AMERICANS are remembering the deadliest terrorist attack on our homeland. NOT ONE...repeat NOT ONE
No, you guys are only concerned about Trump getting his ass kicked last night and you are blaming the moderators. That would be like Mike Norvell complaining that the referees cost FSU the game against Georgia. Both were blowouts.
Adios....

Perfect time..we need each other.

Even if we only get 3 years we erase 15 years of futility.

Do what has to be done.

I saw someone thought about Will Muschamp. I think there are some teams out there that are doing well in the SEC that we should consider their HBC mainly because I am not sure we can get Lane.

What about Dirkowitz? He has done a nice job at Missouri. He has a nice offense and he has good defenses. He knows the SEC and would recruit better at a school like UF.

Thoughts?

I’m getting old, I’ve been beaten down by how bad we have been for years and I’m enjoying more golf and travel of late, so I’m not up on a lot of the college football teams like I used to be and don’t watch much football right now. For those of you calling for an exciting offense, which I would be one, what teams are running an exciting type offense you would want to see at UF?
I need another team or two to follow this season.

Sorry for not being able to share the picture. I’m sure someone with an X account can, but after reporters posting on social media that Billy needs to be fired, apparently several of our players have been liking and sharing these posts

Not that it’s a shock to anyone, just wanted to share

Sorry for a new thread, but I haven’t seen this specifically addressed.
With as many people that have been involved with Napier’s Army, how is it possible we are still so bad and have seen no real signs of improvement anywhere but special teams? Is the benefit of an “ army “ overblown or is it that Commander in Chief was over his head and led his troops accordingly?

I've seen this comment made ad nauseam and I understand why, in effect, we saw the worst of what we've seen the last 2 years. But, from what I witnessed in the stands and saw in replays, this offense did look different. Given these differences I am going to assume Billy was not calling the offense.

1. Not a single time did we run our bread and butter, PA Roll Out Right with Flood to the Right. We run this play 5+ times every game since Billy has been here.

2. In the 2nd possession we went empty with 5 WRs. A very rare occurrence for this offense. I imagine we see a bit more of this with Lagway.

3. In the 1st Quarter with 5 minutes left at Miami's 42 we pass the ball on 3rd and 7. Billy always runs in this situation to set up a 4th and manageable. Unfortunately we had a 1 yard dunk to Montrell that forced us to punt.

4. The emphasis on downfield passing. This probably was a mixture of game planning and/or play calling but it's something we've all wanted, maybe to a fault. Against Miami 56% of Mertz's pass were 10+ yards downfield, with 50% of those being 20+ yards downfield. Relative to last year, we threw the ball 10+ yards twice as much and 20+ yards 2.5* as much.

5. The lack of play action. We called 50% less play action plays. This may have been an in game adjustment because after the first completion we may not have had another completion on play action all day.

Not against the law to notice a kid who’s done something positive.

I see you are itching for someone to meet up with you at a football game in Gainesville to talk political differences. I know I have extended an offer before, but got no response. So once more, I would be thrilled to meet you anywhere from Gainesville to Pasco county. I certainly am not one to hide behind a keyboard. Understand that I am a military veteran…. Not my mommy and daddy. To be clear, there is a zero percent chance that you would say the things you say to my face…. ZERO. You would bury that tail between your low T having ass. I’m available. Easy to find. Go Gators.
