I know some of you are disappointed. I’m not necessarily disappointed, nor am I ecstatic. The misses today hurt a little, but I am simply going with the flow of this weird transition year, while tempering expectations and beliefs.
This is a tough, awkward situation for any coach to be in, and I feel for Coach Billy Napier. He has a ton on his plate, and most, if not all, of the negative aspects we are experiencing now can be blamed on the previous staff and their short-comings and lack of work ethic in many areas (most notably, recruiting).
I reserve any solid judgement on UF’s recruiting for the 2023 class, when I can give CBN and crew a fair assessment and time to implement their program and practices completely; time to scout/review the top players from Florida and beyond; time for potential recruits to see CBN’s system and coaching on the field for a full season.
Feel however you’d like, but you’re asking our coach to hit the bullseye every time with a half-loaded gun. We must accept that some things are out of his control, and the stings of disappointment or anger some may feel today are actually remnants from the previous group of lackluster individuals that controlled the program.
Save your distrust and pessimistic opinions for when (IF) they are actually needed.
