for @bblake08 @Heisman Gator 1 @kcflagator
First off, a significant "thank you" for all that you do financially, emotionally, and other both for the program and this community we have hear.
I was at the game yesterday. We actually did not look that bad outside of Warner - a good, intelligent young man with limited tools and very poor secondary tackling. We have significant issues with injuries as well. We controlled the lines of scrimmage well. Perhaps surprisingly, that was not our issue.
On Napier, I can fully appreciate that none of you want to reach into your personal balance sheet and write, collectively, significant checks ($40M+) to have a new Head Coach and series of assistants. I saw what we all saw and agreed with Nick Saban that our teams have indeed showed strength and "won the first half" of many games against top 10 opponents.
Napier's biggest issue remains as Offensive Coordinator. I called this out over two years after the Kentucky game. Little has changed.

I am partner in a global consulting firm and run our strategy business of one of the global Hyperscalers. I will not share which one.
When we work with executive teams and boards who are underperforming, we work with then to force changes that the individual executives may not want to make. There is likely nothing in your contract with Billy to force him to hire a new OC.
Force him to hire a new one anyways. You can put plenty of pressure on him through many other avenues. Yes, there is an election analog here which I will not explicitly cite.
Pay that person a significant sum with a performance package (based on both W/L, recruiting and offensive output) that aligns his total compensation package with results. Finding a "hot shot" OC is far easier than a new HC. Go hire Lane's OC. You may pay him a 50% bump in base and a 100% jump in total compensation.
That Gator Nation does need to see a change, but can fully appreciate that in today's NIL and monopolistic agent structure, it is not reasonable to ask individuals like yourselves who do not have money coming from their land holdings in the Permian Basin (UT Austin has a ton of oil money, incredible to see) to make these kind of persisted investments.
In the end, you all will do what you think is right and reasonable. Whatever that is, whether it is some form of the above or another path completely, thank you for your commitment to the University and the program.
Go Gators.

Stubbornness is the Death Nell....
All of us, to varying degrees, are processing the events of Kentucky and are making proclamations on all sides from "I told you so", "the staff is terrible", "...terrible over-reaction", "Mullen was better than we thought", Napier inherited a mess, ad infinitum. I have gone through some range...
