Texas A&M @ Florida...

He brought his whole staff with him.

Let that soak in.

You are the new HC of Florida, and instead of taking that money and facilities and getting the best staff you can you bring all your buddies and hire an army of analysts.

Had Scott Frost been hired at UF, the same exact thing would have happened. Others Frost met with, not Stricklin supposedly gave him conditions on upgrading his staff upon being hired but Frost wanted job security for his every one of his assistants.

These head coaches getting paid millions of dollars needs to stop. Compensation needs to be based on performance of a football team. Somebody has to come up with the system that starts paying these coaches lower compensation and then increase their pay after each season based upon the performance of the team. if a football team is under 500 for the season then HC salary should reflect this.

Since these universities receive taxpayer funds, maybe it's time to put on the 2026 Florida ballot to allow we the people to have a say so and how much these head coaches gets compensated. It's time we have a say and yes it can be done and legally we can place on the ballots mandates since colleges receives our tax money.

It would never happen with the schools that want to win. With the agents etc you will always be overpaying with your next coach you hope can turn things around. Its a good thing Napier didn't make a bowl game in year 2 or the idiots would have probably extended him with an even bigger buyout and claimed it was for recruiting purposes..

I happen to agree with you. Offer a midrange package.......but packed with incentives based on number of wins, conference championships, and a 20 million dollar bonus for a national championship. Has that ever been tried? Let's face it, CFB has become a mercenary sport, both coaches and players, it is what it is. In order to keep up with the times, you have to embrace the new paradigm, or simply admit we no longer care to be competitive in the sports arena.

 

[gatordad3]

It all started with Spurrier being the first ever million dollar collegiate coach. Even Bowden, Fulmer and many other too coaches envied Spurrier's new salary.

This defense has not improved one bit with tackling.

Our defense is trash...

How this DC still has a job is beyond me.

Damn I thought Todd Grantham sucked.

A&M hadn’t converted a third down all SEASON! Think about that.

Dan and Todd are still laughing, and both have other jobs, while UF is still paying off Dan's contract.

The upside is that the Billy experiment is likely over. Sort of like when Zook lost to Mississippi State when they lost to Maine the week prior.

Navi, please never try to make any comparisons between the fiery WINNING Zookster, and the LOSER turnip Nappyhead....

Zookster - 8-5 8-5 7-5 -- 19 -12 Fired with a .613 winning percentage.
While Zook's tenure saw modest success, it was well short of what Gator fans had come to expect.
In his three seasons, the Gators lost six games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

The difference between UF and Socialist-U DEI...

Napier --- 6-7 5-7 1-2 = 12 - 16 with a LOSER .429 and still collecting millions.
Billy has already lost 4 games in the SWAMP, with 4 more likely coming this season.

Should have fired Tater last season. Fuchs the buyout!

While I don't disagree with firing Napier.....

If you're gonna fire a HC after 2 seasons, then EVERYBODY involved in his hiring needs to be FIRED FIRST....

It's time for the guillotine. Just cut the head of the snake off now. Billy Ball is done.

Sorry Navi, but Napier is not the head of the Socialist-U SNAKE.
Others need to go, even before the dangling chad HC.....

Not sure who it was..... But wasn't someone here against firing Mullen in order to hire Napier.... 😉

And they're still paying winning Dan off, while paying Billy even more to be the worst LOSER in UF history...

NOT SORRY IF MY COMMON SENSE OFFENDS YOU --- 😛

The iG's 'JUST FOR CHITS & GIGGLES' wild conspiracy theory of the day is this.

A combination of UA - AU - TN - UG all got together and pooled their money and resources to get rid of UF football after their wild success in the 1990's and 2000's. They have since infiltrated and taken over the program from the inside, so this is now the results that we have to live with.

Say it ain't so,,,,, or better yet, PROVE it ain't so while staring the results in the face.... 😁

Mullen and Napier have really took our program to the sh*tter with their crappy recruiting. This next coach will be the 2nd coach to take over without even good young SEC defensive talent on the roster. Both missed quite a bit on their blue chipper recruits the last years. Mullen because the last 2 years he had to take ones others schools stopped pursuing that much and Napier evidently just sucked at evaluations.

Fever, you and other here have boosted for 2 years about what a great recruiter that Napier is.
Now you're FLIP-FLOPPING like the K-mala Hyena Demonrat....

According to a 247Sports article, UF has the #14 roster going by their star ratings coming out of HS.
The raw talent is there, proving where the real problem is. -- Socialist-U is the head of the snake imo.

You many twits wanted Dan & Todd gone, so now you have to live with the Socialist-U results that has earned.

Napier never panned out recruiting like people thought. His one good looking class collapsed and it appears most of his recruits are bust city. Any person with a brain can watch us and see we don't have the # 14 roster as far as NFL talent. Miami with about the same blue chip ratio has so much more NFL talent than us its not even funny.

You mean like YOU and brainless others have claimed, while constantly over-ragging on Dan's recruits....

The talent is there by their proven HS performances that EARNED their rankings.

The real problem is the coaching & development of the talent, and their use in a crappy system with incompetent coaching.

I never acted like he was a 100% guarantee in recruiting. I have been saying we seem to be lacking on NIL to buy some of the top recruits and portal players. He sucks bad but no coach is winning a lot of the games in the SEC with our current roster.

In that case it's time for UF to drop the LOSER football program altogether, since NO new HC can win with this roster.

This isn't political. It's a meritocracy. Napier can't handle the stage at UF, it's been pretty obvious but now it's crystal clear. Hire someone qualified for the job. He ain't it.

[Gator Fever]

The highlight tape of this game is hard to watch. Even when our OTs did a decent job on their guy in pass protection all A&M had to do was have one of their D linemen delay rushing and our Guards would screw up and go to double blocking someone else allowing that lineman a straight shot to get after the QB. Early in the game our D linemen were just playing patty cake mostly never shedding any blocks hardly allowing A&M to bounce stuff outside where we tackled like crap as usual. Later in the game the D linemen were just getting manhandled. We have almost zero ability to create a pass rush without blitzing and most times we blitzed they burned us for doing it.

I don't know who is to be blamed, other than Stricklin who is AD. I don't even know who was president when Napier was hired. All I care about is that this guy is OUT, and someone who can coach and recruit is hired. I was disappointed in Mullin because he was capable but refused to pull his head out of his ass, get out and recruit and surround the program with coaches that were competent on both sides of the ball. Mullin was a great OC, but horrible HBC and not the best at recognizing the best players to be on the field.

The O line does look like some poor coaching with not real good talent. I think our D line just isn't that talented and it looked like they were not giving a good effort later in the game. We will know if they are just checking out if they let this crappy Miss State team roll them.

Dan went 21-3 his first 2 seasons with SECe-C's and NY6 Bowl wins before he was hit by Socialist-U and their Demon-rats fostered Scamdemic.

When Dan said to FILL THE SWAMP after the @ aTm game, they went for his throat. For the rest of season 3 and all of season 4 they went after him. Seeing the writing on the wall, he headed for the door. The blind and the clueless still think that Dan (their 3rd consecutive fired winning HC) was the problem.

Yep Mullen won with top of the line players on defense already on the roster that Napier didn't get from him when he took over and 2020 was just Trask dominating. Once those 2 things were gone we found out what Mullen was actually building.

I think I said that with just more of a Kamala word salad. 😂 3rd and Grantham and an utter lack of discipline with the defense cost us a chance at another natty. With Grantham, it was like we had a 45 and were shooting ourselves in the foot during every crucial moment. That guy doesn't need another job in CFB ever again. That's the main bone I have with Mullen, he allowed this to continue and then got butthurt when he was finally forced to send him packing. I'm still not sure that Mullen had anything to do with his dismissal.

He went 7-4 at W.Ca in 2023.

But you might be correct that he's to smart to join this cluster today.
