I'm with you mookie,Scott Strickland needs to be fired too. He's hired the last three football coach's and hired Napier. The biggest failure in Florida football history . He gave Napier the money for the he army of Staff billy said was needed.he gave billy a contract with a 28 million dollar buyout.
You can't feel sorry for the guy. He has broken records you don't want your name associated with and has brought Gator football to rock bottom and the day he is fired he will be headed to the bank smiling and be 26 million dollars richer.
Get rid of them all. No reason to keep the stench of this staff around. Clear out the building and start over
You know what you get with Kiffin. With the resources in Fla that in my opinion is the best hire.
It doesn't matter who UF plays under Napier his team makes them look like National champions. I believe A@M had less yards against McNeese State then they did against UF in a half. Never have I seen an OL this bad. The bridges kik they ejected for targeting which was BS. He should play more. I feel your pain gator fan's and It looks like in ts time for another rebuild.hopefully they will get it right this time
I'm all for billy giving Mertz the start if he isn't man enough to hurt his feelings. If Mertz fails like he did against Miami. He should then turn the keys over to Lagway. Hopefully he doesn't wait until the game is out of reach are has already been decided.
I kind of get not throwing the freshman to the wolves.After his performance Saturday night although against Sanford at least gave or gives gatorfans hope. But like the writer says why not move onto the future now. Mertz didn't evens sniff the endzone against Miami Lagway led a td drive . Billy will hear it about this . Both these guys make us harder to defend. I guess we'll have to wait and see how both perform against theA@M defense.
The A@M game get ugly next week Billy may be headed back to Louisiana.
It's going to be tough. You have a Sanford team coming in tonight with the way the UF defense is still a work in progress. This Sanford put up 50 the last time they went to Gainsville. They have a mobile QB Hoping gator's are ready to play and do some punishing instead of being punished. Some how they beat Sanford . I believe with Billy's play calling A@M comes in here and does what Miami did to them.It may be the end of Billy ball. To think when they hired him I thought he would get it turned around,but seems as if Billy can't get out of his own way. I don't think him getting an OC would have changed anything because he would still have some type of say in the matter.but it would of shown that he was willing to listen about a playcaller instead of being hard headed and not wanting to give his duties up so maybe he could help in other area's where the team is struggling. In which there are many areas this team still needs a lot to work on to look like a team instead of the Bad news Bears.
I will say he had it going at UF his first few seasons. But you could clearly see when Grimes Toney Trask and Pitts. Went on to the NFL and how bad they looked against Oklahoma that it was only a matter of time before cousin Eddie was toast.
He sure does think he is the guy that got fired from UF after making to 3 NY6 games. And shouldn't after the Oklahoma blowout and leaving the cupboards bare from his will to be a lazy coach drawing instead of recruiting. I think Cousin Eddy likes the television scene better than coaching. Still making the big bucks and gets to be an arrogant @sshole that he likes to be.
Watch the SEC podcast the one on the first article. I believe it says who goes 2-0 in the second eek then it Lagway and Napier. You have to listen to the pod cast o gara is interviewing the gator writer. Can't remember his name ,but talks about Napier and his dismissal His and Strickland.ifthe Texas A@M and UK games go like the Miami game. They didn't even say anything about Sanford that put up 50 on U in Mullins last year. Then Ogara ask him for a list of candidates these boosters are eyeing. You'll have to listen to the podcast for that info.the other writer is Blackmon. The Gator homer.
Hey at least this guy did it to his face and with cops around. I'm sure it was a character Meyer wouldn't want to get into with. Any one who has no regard for law enforcement surely was packing behind that chain link fence and would love to put a bullet in a coach of the UFGators.
I will say one thing they did due@ THEREALCOJONES. They did beat ur UofF Gators. Now all they need to do is get really pissed of about it and be ready to go out behind the out house when UCF comes to the Swamp and put a good ole ass wuppin on them for running their Carolina cockholsters.UF has players when is the time when guys are tired of being the laughingstock and get out there and play ball like they have all their life. Napier can't make all sideshow stu going only the players can. I'm not a gator fan ,but know they have some dudes on that team. Well it's about time they a get their heads out their arses. And falling farther and farther down the standings of the conference. They have a win against Va Tech. UF is now behind Vandy in the standings. That's basically rock bottom.if your a Player Napier cant play the game. There is no way UF is now his bad with the talant they have
Humper your only goal of the freshmen starting any game other than the Sanford game is to break the big man's spirit.your worst fear in all of this is this rivalary going the opposite direction the way that it once was in the ninety's. You know by your situation is all it takes the right coach and definitely a big 5 STAR can't hurt. As long as he's not thrown to the wolves to soon. Kind of like AR was to your dawgs a few year's back.
Mertz looked likhe was in a lot of pain and in the same way in which he did in the Mizzou game when he broke it and was screaming in agony.Naoier played the part of getting mertz hurt by clearly it getting g his Rt. Tackle help blocking the rushend who was in mertz face all day because Waited was overmatched all day and on many occasions and the rushend on Miami didn't have to do much to get around the 300 pound Waites. The announcer's said on several times Napier need him to get Waites help wit a running back or tightend because he was having no problem beating Waites off of the snap. Not once did I see any help for the right tackle.and Mertz was hurt a few plays later.
Billy ,you would think that with the army of staff he has would run a program that was more organized. Is it that it is more organized on the inside of the program. The stuff we as fan's and people on the outside don't get to see. His coaching seems to not be that at all.He seems to have as far as the last two years seems to have used the portal more. I feel as if during the off season he had several o line men transfer out that it would be a position of need and you would need better higher rated o linemen to replenish your roster. You don't see that at all on Napier's o linemen class he brought in through the portal. His online is not very good from what i saw in the Miami game. During the broadcast the play by play announcer was saying how the tackle that was getting beat ,Waite's was his name they were saying Napier need to get him some help from either a running back or a tightened to help you get guy out because he was clearly being beat by the smaller more athletic rush end. Napier can't see that. That's coaching and it ended up getting Mertz hurt and will get Lagway hurt too. If your coach can't recognize this. Napier was told he needed an OC to call plays so he could be doing more important things and one of them would be to make sure a running back or a tight end is helping your tackle block the rush end when he's being beat on every play.
I would seem to think the way UF played and even if Lageay was to start the Lsu game with their OL issues and the way they looked against Miami that should be a LSU W. I know that the game still has to be played and it's not an automatic win .LSU should still have over a 60 percent chance to win that game if not a little bit higher than that. Then they still have Ole Miss Bama and Oklahoma at home.
Is it that Miami is that good or is UF just that bad. I like Napier and he's probably a great father,husband. Just not a good football coach. Seems like he's getting all the accolades that you wouldn't want your name to be beside. Such as three consecutive losing seasons. Giving up the most points in the swamp today to Miami. Break the streak of consecutive home opening victories. My take is his team looks no different then his first or second year teams. Still making undisciplined penalty's. Two today resulted in stops on third down in which extended drives and Miami scored. Guys are still running around wide open in the secondary,busted coverages,offensive line play is horrendous.i feel for the Florida fan's.
I assume you are talking about Tank Black. If so I thought I read in an earlier article that he had transfered. On leghumpers comment on big Dez Watson. The kid may have a weight issue,but for the past two years has won the starting job at NT. Now if UF can get there defense out of being one of the worst into the top fifty catagory UF might be able to pull out seven maybe eight wins on the season. This first game will tell a lot on if the defense has improved on getting teams off the field on third down. They also need to shore up there tackling. They seem to have a lot of those.if they don't it will be a long season.
That's usually what happens when you end up in the dog house .there is some reason he didn't play in the Superbowl. I know they ment ioned something about him being injured. Makes you wonder if he's becoming a distraction in the locker room for them Togo out and draft a receiver and give another veteran receiver a one year contract. Makes you believe Mr. Toney is in with it's all about me crowd and is in Andy Reid's doghouse.
Ole miss must-have some outrageous NIL collective. These guys aren't lining up at Ole Miss to make there couple plays a game there's not enough balls to go around all the wideouts they have. Lane getting all these kids compensated some how with the thought of national championship on their mind. They still have to get by the beast which is UGA. They didn't fare well at all in last year's attempt and don't see it t this year either with a few more wideouts. That chore would definitely would have to come on the defensive side of the ball. I know they got a few defensive pieces to try and get them over the hump ,but don't see them three boys having any success against the Great Wall of UGA offensive line.
Those receivers sure got by those Fla dB's last year didn't theyVOLTRAINCONDUCTOR.
It stinks for A@M,you go from a team on the cusp of winning it all to a team that not only losses it's coach to lossing the top three ,four guys in your lineup to the portal. I'm not quite sure how the portal works,but if all four of these guys want to transfer to Texas and Schloss then something needs to be done about the transfer rule. I know there is no sitting out a year do to a coaching change ,but in this case with ex coach and player's you shouldn't just be able to transfer and play immediately in this circumstance. Not saying that this is where these guys are heading are trying to play ,but if so they should have to sit out a year before being eligible.
I already said in another article OSKI needs to come and eat his crow and humble pie after the Vols 1-0 loss to A@M and he was as all negative Nancy on there was no way the Vols could comeback and it was an epic UT collapse. Yes I would say he need to eat his crow and humble pie and a lot of it for having doubt in his team.
What is sad is A@M eliminated UF and A@M helped UF eliminate UK. The conference played a big part of eliminating their own team's. There were four SEC team's and four ACC teams. The final two were SEC. I know UF beat NC. State for one of their losses, UT beat FSU twice to eliminate them. I think the ACC may have accounted for one of NC. States. Losses.
Yes because all of us SEC fan's know if A@M was playing a team from any other conference they would have won.
Now get the football and basketball to win One. You'll be surprised how much the other fan bases shut up. You will literally hear crickets.
OSKIE needed to get in here and eat his crow and humble pie after doubting his team saturday. And he did that alot. NNeed to put him on an island with lake life gator after that scarade he played after the Vols lost 1-0 Saturday toA@M
