Watching Bob Stoops last night had me thinking it would have been cool watching the HBC call ball plays one more time. Although, he’d probably decline with this undisciplined bunch.

What's the chances of Wilson getting a ranking boost to 5 star status on his final eval for the year?

@JasonHigdon

That's all

Followed by Napier and Bolden

6’6 280


Since entering the portal some of his offers are OU, LSU, UGA, USC and Cal

Heard on good authority that our team hotel was a party zone with players and coaches partying Wednesday night with coaches saying who cares we aren't being retained.

According to a former staffer:

“We recruited with no home base, no foundation of what we were looking for,” a former Florida staffer told me. “The prevailing idea from the top down was we’re not begging players to come here.”

"“Both of those years, we were adding guys late that we probably shouldn’t have,” the former Florida staffer said. “We’d lose on guys, then scramble for Plan B’s that may have those stars, but that we knew didn’t make sense for us, and may not make it for one reason or another.”


Imagine that...

"I dont know when my official would be but I definitely am new to Florida football, and football in general. This was my second season ever playing so everything is new to me. Coach Napier has shown me nothing but love, and interest my way."

NFL announced; no cause of death yet

New Year’s Resolutions: Nine things that Napier needs to do in 2022​

https://www.gatorcountry.com/featur...-nine-things-that-napier-needs-to-do-in-2022/

I zeroed in on His last point - win the games you are supposed to win - no upsets because of poor preparation.

Hughes divides next year's schedule into 3 parts -
Those we should win
tossups
not mentioned - i.e. no chance

Those we should win; not sure I agree that all these games belong in this category -

"...There are seven games that the Gators should win next season."

Kentucky - @BHG Stadium; Wildcats won 20-13 last year at home; a tossup IMO
South Florida
Eastern Washington
Missouri - @BHG Stadium; Missouri wins on last second 2 pt conversion; not a tossup, but closer than you think
South Carolina - @BHG Stadium; Gamecocks crush Gators 40-17; hoping for a tossup
Vanderbilt
Florida State -@Doak Campbell, last year, 24-21 Gators @BHG; toss up on the road

"...There are three games that should be considered toss-ups"
Utah - even @ BHG Stadium, not in the 1st game under a new staff
Tennessee - @Neyland Stadium; Gators 38-14 @BHG before wheels came off; Vols beat Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina - hope its a tossup on the road but doubt it
LSU - @BHG Stadium; LSU beat Gators 49-42 at home; 3-5 SEC; 6-6 overall; last in the west; tossup

Losses - added Utah
EDIT
Utah - @BHG Stadium; Utah Overall 10-3; 8-1 Conf headed to Rose Bowl; NOT a tossup; Strickland's policy of better quality OOC opponents bites us; Gators start out 0-1

Obvious problems -
Texas A&M-@Kyle field
UGA - WLOCP in Jacksonville

"...If they win all seven of the games that they’re supposed to win and go 2-1 in the toss-up games, that should be considered a successful debut season for Napier."

Right now, I don't see Gators going 9-3; hoping for more of a 7-5; losing to Utah in 1st game bound to have a big negative impact.

BUT - glass half full - we haven't even -

filled out the on the field coaching staff
had NSD
had Spring practice

So maybe I am being a Sad Gator needlessly & crying too soon; I hope so !

A lady by the name of Judith Orr luanched a gofundme for this a couple of days ago. Their goal was 50,000.00 and they have already raised 51,447.00 Thought some of you might want to contribute. Not sure if the link will work....but some of you more Tech savy members can assist I'm sure.

You already expected this bc he is on our list already but here it is.

Napier Names Pasqualoni Director of Advanced Scouting and Self Scout

Pasqualoni spent the last two seasons at Florida as a special assistant to the head coach under the previous coaching staff.



GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida head football coach Billy Napier announced Tuesday that Paul Pasqualoni will serve on his staff as the director of advanced scouting and self scout.



A veteran of the collegiate and professional ranks, Pasqualoni has spent the last two seasons (2020-21) with the Gators as a special assistant to the head coach under the previous coaching staff.



A 2021 Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame inductee, Pasqualoni spent a total of 18 seasons at Syracuse (1987-2004), 14 of which he served as the Orange's head coach (1991-2004). During his tenure as Syracuse's head coach, Pasqualoni complied a record of 107-59-1, leading the program to four Big East titles.



A native of Chershire, Conn., Pasqualoni also served as the head coach at Connecticut (2011-13) and the defensive line coach at Boston College (2016-17).



At the NFL level, Pasqualoni's experience includes coordinator and assistant stints with the Detroit Lions (2018-19), Houston Texans (2015), Chicago Bears (2014), Dallas Cowboys (2005-07 & 2010) and Miami Dolphins (2008-09).
