And @fatman76 doesn’t think these companies are crooked. lol.

At this point why? Put the money towards making this a winning program. I’m pretty sure fans, boosters etc would rather be slightly uncomfortable while watching a legit football program than comfortable and leaving in the 3rd quarter or worse yet not going at all. I can be comfortable with great food and AC at home with the ability to change the channel when it gets too embarrassing to watch. I don’t have much say in this but would rather postpone this and get the program back on track. Whether those funds go towards coaches, NIL, whatever just get the damn team back on track

that Canes Connection is working with a budget north of $15 million.

This thread is not to discuss the merits of firing Napier and hiring Kiffin. It's about money.
Kiffin will demand to be the highest paid HC in college football to come to UF. But that is not the problem. Since 1980 UF has had 14 HC's. Let's throw out the interim coaches, Darnell, Strong, Durkin, Shannon, and Knox so now we have 9 coaches in 44 years, Spurrier was here 11 years and Meyer 6. So throw them out and UF has had 7 HC's in those 27 other years meaning their average tenure is less than 4 years.
Which leads to the question: How much do you think Kiffin will demand as a buyout if he is fired (not for cause)? I'm thinking it will be north of Jimbo's buyout, the vibe on the HC job at UF is you are hired to be fired. SOS is a unicorn. Urban Meyer...well he is Urban Meyer. Kiffin would be hired to duplicate SOS/Meyer' success. What if he doesn't? If Kiffin is hired, then fired, the economic results might be a financial death penalty at UF football IMO. Risk vs benefit. Is this worth the risk?
I'm thinking the buyout for Kiffin added to Napier's would be over $100 million, real money for a public university with an endowment fund of about $ 2 billion. This represents 5 % of UF's total endowment. I'm sorry but football is not worth putting a flagship university's academic programs or research at risk. Once again, my opinion.

Just saw someone report he’s a captain for the Samford game tomorrow. Can anyone confirm this? If true feels like a massive and intentional slight against the fanbase from Billy given the complete lack of effort out of 70 against Miami at home. Like naming Marco a captain after the shoe toss

Caleb Rillos got some nice hype when he signed with us out of the transfer portal earlier this year, especially from J. Higdon. What has happened to him…and why do we no longer hear a peep about him? Is he injured? Lord knows we could use as many offensive weapons as we can get!

This will be fun to watch. If you're in town swing by...

I believe Napier does a lot of good program things, just not coaching. Since we would have to pay him a huge buyout to fire him, could he be some kind of a general manager of sorts? Utilize his strengths and maybe renegotiate his contract? Just make sure he has no say in anything related to coaching or assistants.

Even if we had to pay his full salary, cash flow would be more conducive to paying top dollar for a new coach and staff.

At least we used to be relevant, though SEC nation is coming back next week.

Florida & Samford The Storyline

Week 2 marks the fourth all-time meeting between Florida and Samford and the first since 2021 (UF 70, SU 52).

With 122 combined points, the 2021 meeting was the highest-scoring game in the history of The Swamp.

It was the second-highest scoring game in team history behind the 1913 season opener vs. Florida Southern (W, 144-0).

Florida’s 717 yards vs. Samford in 2021 sits second all-time in team history (774 yards vs. West Texas State in 1982).

Prior to the 2021 meeting, it had been 99 years since the Gators last played the Bulldogs on Oct. 28, 1922 (UF 57, SU 0).

Going further back, Florida defeated Samford in consecutive seasons from 1921-22.

In those two games, Florida topped Samford (then Howard College) by a combined margin of 91-0 (34-0, 57-0).

In each of its last three FCS games since 2021, Florida has eclipsed 560 total yards while rushing for over 250 yards.

Florida is 23-1 vs. FCS teams dating back to 1981, with the lone loss coming against Georgia Southern in 2013.

The Gators have outscored their opponents in those 24 games by an average margin of 38.8 points.

Florida has totaled 400-plus yards while passing for 200-plus yards in eight-straight games vs. FCS teams since 2014.

The Gators have racked up 400-plus yards in 16 of its 18 games against FCS schools dating back to 1996.

Florida could start its first true freshman quarterback in 115 games - since Treon Harris started the final game of the 2014 campaign on Jan. 3, 2015 in the Birmingham Bowl (Florida 28, East Carolina 20).

Florida has seen six different true freshmen combine for 12 starts at QB, going 7-5 in those games (Wayne Pace in 1980, Donald Douglas in 1989, Jessie Palmer in 1997, Chris Leak in 2003, Jacoby Brissett x2 in 2011, Treon Harris x6 in 2014).

Florida had its NCAA-best, 34-game winning streak in home openers snapped in Week 1 against Miami.

The Gators have lost just three season openers since 1990, going 32-3 in that span (2017 vs. Michigan, 2023 at Utah).

In Week 1, Florida had 20 Gators debuts and 10 collegiate debuts while seven defenders made their first starts at UF.

Florida owns the No. 1 strength of schedule in the country, featuring eight Preseason AP Top-20 opponents.

Last season, Florida ranked second nationally and first in the SEC in completion percentage (72.3%).

This is the first meeting between Florida HC Billy Napier and Samford HC Chris Hatcher as head coaches (more in ‘Crossing Paths’ on Page 9).

Dating back to the 2018 season, Napier ranks 14th in the FBS with 51 total victories. He has more wins than Mike Norvell (50), Lane Kiffin (50), Sonny Dykes (49), Mark Stoops (48) and Mario Cristobal (48) in that time, among others.

The Gators have won 13 of their last 18 games in The Swamp (including eight of 12), but are 2-16 in their last 18 contests outside The Swamp and 2-12 in their last 14 true road games.

Florida boasts a 359-116-13 (.749) all-time record at The Swamp, holding the third-highest home winning percent- age in the nation since 1990 with a 178-37 (.828) record. The Gators have outscored opponents, 8,034 to 3,517 in 215 games inside The Swamp since 1990, putting the average outcome at 37.4 to 16.4 (21.0 points).

Florida has scored in 449-consecutive games dating back to 1988 - an NCAA record and 53 games longer than any other college football team in the history of the sport.

UF hosted Old Dominion QB pledge Ryan Huff, off to a strong start through 2 games as a senior (35/49 525yds and 6Tds), on Saturday and continue to communicate with him.

"Had a great experience. Coach Ohara and the staff gave me a great time and heard a lot of good things," Huff told Rivals. "Obviously the game didn’t go the way we wanted but I enjoyed my time. (They were) Saying I’m on the right track and they love the way I’m playing right now -- just want to make sure it’s consistent."

Open Canvas today folks, on you..........

a type of guilty plea where Biden would acknowledge prosecutors have enough evidence to convict, but does not admit wrongdoing while accepting sentencing from the judge, according to CNN.

the only reason states want drop boxes is they are dim controlled and want to be able to stuff the boxes

So as not forget how bad it was under Dan Mullen in 2021 (especially as he and his buddies try and /romanticize/reframe his tenure and collapse), we almost lost to Samford at home.

We were down 42 - 35 to Samford at home AT THE HALF.

Samford kicked a FG to make it 52-56 IN THE 4TH QUARTER.



I need to see our defense step up this week. There may be some inconsistency on O with DJ in his first start, but our D needs to show up and dominate.

Their son is about to make his first college start and the first thing they do is offer prayers and support to Mertz.
