Currently unemployed. (Not coaching) Clearly hates sitting next to Pat Mcafee (who wouldn’t) every Saturday. Would be an instant success recruiting. Pay him $10M a year to turn this puppy around!

What the hell happened in that game??? UK hasn’t looked good and almost beat uga? 😳

That's who I want with the preface that he brings in a high flying offense. Yes, Muschamp lost to GS when he was our coach but we had nasty defense and he can flat out recruit. This will never happen but that's who I would want- once we figure out Lane ain't coming and Meyer is a dream. start the bashing...

Thr swamp is ok, but not the main page.

I honestly can’t remember a Gator team that has looked this bad in my lifetime. UCF is better, FSU is better and probably USF too. We have zero talent on both lines of scrimmage. Our secondary STILL gives up easy completions on third or fourth downs. It is gut wrenching to watch. I’m 48 and can remember all the way back to the G. Hall days, but honestly don’t remember a Gator team this bad. The regression from last year to this year is difficult to understand. These kids have bought in and planned every minute of their lives and have been led down the sewer

I much prefer FSU to play after Florida, so I know what to root for. I think Florida is going to win today. So while I want FSU to lose, I also want to be able to enjoy my day and the game, which will be difficult if FSU loses.

That being said, if Florida loses, then I want to share my misery.

Tough spot right now.

There’s typically a full lobby of us as the Gators leave the hotel. BN is always cordial, fist bumps the kids, smiles, etc.

None of that today. Less than 10 people, BN didn’t acknowledge the kids, etc.

Couldn’t tell if it was laser focus or they were checked out. We’ll know soon.

So is this a 50/50 platoon now? Maybe I didnt read up enough this past week, but my assumption was Mertz as QB1 with Lagway packages. I'm certainly not against Lagway taking over; I've just never seen, off memory, a QB platoon situation where the QBs are alternating entire series and certainly not this type of setup that worked. And it obviously wasn't about finding and riding the hot hand because one QB would lead a scoring drive and then get yanked for the next series.

I witnessed with everyone else Spurrier sending the playcalls in with alternating QBs every play on various occasions but even he admitted that was not ideal. Yesterday's QB rotation just seemed so...odd. Along with the OL rotations vs Miami and (as another thread notes) yesterday's WR grouping -- specifically walk-on Spierto seeing the third most snaps among the WR room.

By all means set me straight if this QB shuffling every series has been done before and worked at a high level. Otherwise it just looks to me like a head coach that can't make a big decision.

This is who in my opinion would be the best possible hire. Reportedly wanted to come here back in 2021. Knows Lagway and his family, recruited him very hard before he committed to us. We have some good weapons on the roster in DJ, Tre, Mizell, Baugh, Tank, and a few others and can bring some in with him. Reminds me of a Spurrier offense. Would recruit well here with the talent pool in state and nearby areas OOS.

Tell me I’m right or tell me I’m wrong, go.

Chancellor Campbell, who is plenty aware of the chatter around Napier's status right now

Looks like this game opened up A&M as a 3 1/2 point road favorite. I can see why the line was set like that but unlike the Miami game I think we have a much better chance to win this game. Unless our defense makes him look much better than he has (which seems to happen a lot lately) their QB hasn't played good and doesn't seem to be in sync with their receivers. He is definitely not in the same ballpark as Cam Ward. They look like they will probably try to lean on their running game a lot. Their offense is limited.

Their defense is an above average SEC defense but this defense isn't as talented as their defense last season and is not in the same league with a team like Georgia.

I think as long as Dickson starts instead of Waites we can use TEs at times and work around the O line issue some. Dickson appears to actually be able to move his feet some on pass protection unlike Waites. I think if we keep them at 24 points or less we will win this game. A&M is also on a long SEC road game losing streak.

More details to come but Trump is said to be ok.

You get NO guesses who they’re talking about..

About the elephant in the room. I get not wanting to burn bridges but every other outlet has posted something about the situation. Not like you would be breaking anything at this point. I think your subscribers would love to hear from you. TIA @JasonHigdon

Smart offensive coach, well organized, and knows how to build from the line of scrimmage out. I understand he’s a Northeast guy, but I’m just not convinced Lane is coming. Haven’t seen a whole lot of realistic options out there better than Bill.

If Stricklin doesn’t make the new hire, who does? The Interim President, the Board of Trustees, Big Boosters, some ad hoc committee…

He knows it’s over, that’s my take.

I mean any single one?

Regardless, of who plays quarterback, I think the biggest failure of Napier is his inability to develop lines of scrimmage in year three

If your could choose between an elite coach on the one hand, or an elite booster willing to give unlimited funds to nil, which would you choose?

I was at the gator walk yesterday with my nephew who was at his first game. When Lagway approached our area a bunch of kids called his name and he came over and gave them high fives. When Mertz approached the same spot, the kids also called his name. He didn’t even look… just walked by with his smug smile… maybe he as in the zone, maybe he wasn’t. All I know is seeing that made me want to root for DJ even more.

The Gators aren't going to compete with the elites anytime soon and Kamala is going to be the next President.

The democrats and their media are doing a very good job packaging and protecting Kamala.

Either the republican party leaders are idiots or Trump doesn't listen to them. Why do republicans repeatedly agree to debates with democrat friendly moderators? It's always going to be a no win situation.

I will pray hard that I am wrong on both counts.

We have heard names like Muschamp, Meyer, Malzahn...

I'm on board with Jason. That way we could have all the insider information at our disposal. He could hire the best coordinators money can buy and he can spend his time informing all of us on EVERYTHING that is going on.

Genius I know!
