On my way to the UK game. Watched the game through midway 3rd Qtr. That long TD run by Johnson provided a brief spark, but no real positive takeaways from todays game.
Football Miami @ Florida...
- Thread starter Gator Fever
- Start date
This is a complete disgrace. CBN should be fired immediately for putting a team like this on the field in year 3.
Props to Mertz for gutting it out in this debacle.
I agree. And a good coaching hire will embrace Lagway and make it Lagway's team. With the whorishness of CFB under the new rules, the Bull Gators can buy a contender in 2 years or less. There is no excuse for this. UF dominates college sports in almost every category.
I hope our big boosters are as motivated as other SEC teams are.
Unfortunately, in today's world Napier won't get fired after today. We are stuck with him for at least 3-4 more games.
Napier absolutely blew this one by not mixing in Lagway when the game was not out of hand. I guarantee you Nick Saban would have done it.
His buyout at the end of the season is around $24 million, about $30 million if they fire him now. Are we finished paying Mullen to go away?
Mertz is a decent QB. But playing behind this O line and play calling mix, you'd better be Patrick Mahommes to succeed at all. Lagway might turn out to be that caliber, time will tell.
Inexcusable to be this bad in the trenches on both sides of the ball in year three.
Bye week firing before GA probably unless things change. Don't see us scoring much on A&M or KY. Heck Miss State if they score some will have a chance probably.
Yep Mullen loves this crap but he owns the 1st year of it.
1-11 is a realistic record and the transfer portal and decommitments will set it all back even more.
Mullen checked out just like Urban Meyer did when he lost his cookies. Only Urban gave us two Natties. Mullen didn't give us shit other than false hope and shitty defensive coordinators.
Miss State and UCF aren't guarantees that is for sure.
Mullen is the illegitimate father of this mess.
Yeah - Vanderbilt's really upset that we got taken off their schedule!
Getting worried about @ Miss State. They are at least scoring in their FCS game.
Lagway didn't play until tissue paper Mertz got hurt.
Not a single 'PACKAGE' for Lagway for 3 quarters.
Fire his D2 nappy-head azz ASAP.
And can we all now get off the idiot Mertz bandwagon???
HC/OC + Mertz will give UF their 4th consecutive LOSING season.
4-8 is now about the best that can now he hoped for......
Can't fire Napier, but can we all agree now that he's the worst OC in UF history???

Who says we can't? Also, Muschamp just entered the chat. 😂
Year 3 of "Build Back Better". This sounds all too familiar.
Also, this is as bad as Willie Taggert, almost.
3rd Down Efficiency = scUM 5/10 -- UF 1/9
Total Yards = scUM 529 - UF 261, only 190 without MJ's 71 Yd run.
Team Passing =
scUM 26/36, 72.2% for 385 yds, 3 TD's
UF 14/26, 53.8% for 122 yds, ZERO TD's
scUM 41 - 17 UF (-24)
The Gators just gave up the most points in a home opener in history.

2022 - 6-7 LOSERS
2023 - 5-7 LOSERS
2024 - 0-1 LOSERS,,,, with 4-8 on the horizon....
It's his 3rd year and it's now his players and his system.
Napier - On Overall Performance: Keep it simple.................
Because HC/OC Simple-Minded is apparently what he's best at.

And that my friends is really really bad. 😳Year 3 of "Build Back Better". This sounds all too familiar.
This is for the Gator fans displeasure:
"The loss was UF's first in a home opener since 1989, snapping a NCAA-best 34-game winning streak in kicking off the third season."

3 takeaways from Miami’s shellacking of Florida in The Swamp
Miami dominated Florida in The Swamp to open the season. It was the best possible start for Cam Ward and the worst possible open for Billy Napier.

Can we hire Mullen to coach the games and Billy to recruit? 2 HCs instead of 1? What's the answer here
So,,, what do the Gator fans have to look forward to now?
UF Volleyball kicked off their season with a 3-1 win over ColoSt.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – We interrupt the Florida-Miami football hype for some basketball intel.
The fall semester began just over a week ago and Todd Golden wasted no time getting his third and most talented team back on the floor to resume workouts in the run-up to the start of preseason practice Sept. 24.

It's a good thing the 2021 Sanford team that dropped a record 42 first half points on us in the Swamp isn't the same team coming in this Saturday.
