Good article. AM most likely will finish 6-6. Hard to imagine what Ole Miss, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee will do to our defensive front. Their Olines are much better than AMs.Column: It's time for a coaching change in Gainesville

Ability might have been helpful as well.
If it's a done deal, pull the cord now.
Billy Napier will not make it past the 2024 season | GatorCountry.com

Hindsight being 20-20 is pretty fun. haha
What I think should happen, almost guaranteeing that it won't happen, is this:
Lagway should be benched and redshirted for 2024.
Mertz should be the full time starter going forward.
One or some of the other QB's should play and/or backup Mertz as needed.
Lagway should be brought in for his 4th (redshirting) game as the starter for the FSU game. That will give him a good start to getting ready for starting in 2025 for his rsFr season.
That way the new HC will have a chance to have Lagway for 4 years,,,, IF HE STAYS...
==========
Napier & staff have twice proven that they can't defend a QB-dt (scUM/aTm),,, proving that they don';t know how a QB-dt plays (i.e. bench DJ to save him).
Going forward, I only see one possible win and that's the next game @ starkvegas cowbell MsSt, and I won't bet on that one.
Gator's are now looking at a real possibility of going 2-10 (or even 1-11) in Napier's 3rd season.
All of the coaches and players are now of Napier's choosing and it's gotten worse every year that he's been here, with the worst being NOW!
Both Mullen and Grantham are now LTFAO at the Socialist-U chumps running this place into the ground right now, while the true long time Gator fans sit in total disgust at the situation.
The iG is now looking forward to the start of Basketball season, even more than I was at this time last season. Here's to earnestly hoping that Goldie doesn't also 'Screw the Pooch.'

Lagway had a 15.4 QBR against Texas A&M.
Astonishing (sarcasm) that he didn’t look quite the same as he did against…Samford…
And everybody still wants to kick the senior leader with experience to the curb…smh…
He played against an SEC team with a defense vs playing Fred Samford that doesnt.
I guess you missed my post, directly before your post.
I'm for benching DJ and making Mertz the permanent starter.
Oh wait, I'm not really in the EVERYBODY category anyway, so you're okay with your post....
He played for a clueless loser HC/OC, and that's really where the problem lies...
Due to the great recruiting of Napier his Asst. Coaches, plus his 50+ staff.....
The Gator roster now contains the fabulous JACKSON 5.....
99. DL Cam Jackson 6-6 342 Sr
22. WR Kahleil Jackson 6-3 215 rsJr
24. RB Ja'Kobi Jackson 5-10.5 209 rsJr
2. DB Ja'Keem JACKSON 6-0.5189 So
7. TE Amir Jackson 6-4.75 228 Fr
And they are being backed up by the Johnson 3....
1. RB Montrell Johnson Jr 5-11.25 216 Sr
27. DB Dijon Johnson 6-1 200 So
81. TE Dawson Johnson 6-3.5 225 Fr
Ole Howard must be very proud of them....
Sorry, but someone has to notice and comment on the important things during a season like they/we are having.... 😏

Brian Kelly is a solid coach. He's in the big leagues now.

So, kinda like the real one…
I'm just giving you schitt, sad, but sometimes I wish you were a Gamecock fan.
Gators, Napier Refocus on Basics; Mertz and Lagway Both to Play at Mississippi State.
This alone is cause to fire Napier now."Napier said Monday the plan is to continue to use a two-quarterback system with
starter Graham Mertz and true freshman DJ Lagway."
Bench DJ for a redshirt year and just play Mertz.
If he's got to play 2 QB's, then put in one of the other QB's on the roster.
"Florida's loss was its 7th in 8 games going back to last season and dropped Napier to 12-16 overall at UF."
Put DJ in as the starter for FSU (4th game redshirt) to get ready for 2025.
HC/OC Napier can't put together a good game plan for 1 QB, much less for 2.
""Hence my frustration,'' Napier said of the lack of a consistent running game.
"We got to do better in that area. It's one of the things that make the engine go."
Maybe Napier would have better results if he first ---

We are so bad you play Lagway some hoping to keep him
If you told him the above plan for him, he'd say,,,, IF he's going to stay...
Let him be the Scout Team QB-dt so the defense might be able to learn how to defend one....
IMO, if we didn't have an interim president Napier and Strickland would already be gone. He doesn't want to make such a big call as the temp.Gators, Napier Refocus on Basics; Mertz and Lagway Both to Play at Mississippi State.

Billy Napier reveals Gators’ plan at QB for Week 4 at Mississippi State
Billy Napier told the media on Monday how he plans to manage the quarterback position in Week 4.

LOL........let Lagway be the scout team QB against our D, they'd be so defeated they'd probably all quit. 😂
This is actually I think a hidden dynamic of the Napier era. Both his offense and defense are so incompetent that somehow both units come away from practice way overconfident.
Excellent point BG. The sad thing has there been NO improvement to any phase of our game in the last 3 years. Kickers are solid, but that's about it. Trenches are still horrible, lots of good skill players but discipline is bad, execution is bad, play calling is bad, defensive schemes are bad, tackling is bad and we are a soft team with no identity. Very, very sad.
The head coach doesn’t understand what a winning team at this level looks like or how to prepare them…And That’s why we have what we have.
The standard is low.
The standard is low.
He does; however, understand that you need 100+ people on staff to prepare for whatever you are preparing for…
All sadgator can say is, the coffee served in the Heavener Center ought to be world class level…
If the coffee sucks, then the entire Napier tenure has been a complete fail…
