Florida reportedly brings back familiar face as WRs coach
Florida coach Billy Napier is reportedly bringing back a familiar face to join his Gator coaching staff in 2023.
Longtime Dan Mullen assistant Billy Gonzales is reportedly making his return to Gainesville to coach the Gator wide receivers, per Nick de la Torre of On3 Sports.
Gonzales was on staff at Florida under Mullen from 2018-2021 before leaving for the same position coaching receivers at Florida Atlantic in 2022:

Prior to Florida, Gonzales was with Mullen at Mississippi State from 2013 to 2017. He also served as a WR coach on Florida’s staff under Urban Meyer from 2005 to 2009 while Mullen was the offensive coordinator.
Clearly, Gonzales has deep ties to the Florida program, having spent multiple stints in Gainesville. Now he’s back under a new head coach’s regime. We’ll see if he can continue to work his magic with the Florida receivers under Napier in 2023 and beyond.
Florida finished the 2022 season with a 6-7 overall record and will look to improve upon that this fall.
Longtime Dan Mullen assistant…
I love how that easily just rolls off of the tongue. Next on deck… Todd Exotic…
Not a chance Grantham returns to Gainesville! He can stay with the Saints because the Falcons need all the help they can get.
Don’t be funny. I heard Napier was talking to Todd Exotic!!!!! LOL
PS. Dan Mullen turned down the OC job! LOL
Negan
Really love seeing this
Hmmm ,
Before you troll this guy humper you might want to look at all wide outs he coached ..
Percy harvin, kadarious toney , Louis Murphy , David Nelson , Riley copper
Are a few to mind ..:
all nfl
Wide outs and successful ones at that …
No
Issue with this hire
Don’t bother with Humper, as a hardcore puppy fan he ignores fact and truth when posting here
Amen
TheRealcojones……..
” Don’t bother with Humper, as a hardcore puppy fan he ignores fact and truth when posting here ”
You mean TRUTH like Georgia just went back to back???? And the FACT. That Florida is no longer in the same stratosphere as Georgia in football any longer??????
PS. Well said Cody Jones, well said!!!!
Negan
He’s an excellent wide receivers coach.
All ribbing aside, if he was such an excellent WR coach, how did he end up at FAU when he quit taking Mullet’s bs?
I don’t know him so I don’t know his reasoning, but a few reasons I could think off the top of my head are that he wanted to stay in Florida either because he and his family like the state or the kids wanted to finish out the school year, or maybe he wanted a lower stress job for a bit, or maybe he was waiting to see where Mullen ended up, or maybe being linked to Mullen gave him negative stigma last year. CBN seems to be an analytical and detailed guy, so there must have been things he liked about Gonzales to hire him.
Too bad Billy couldn’t find any Sunbelt guys for this gig he had to go out and hire a proven veteran WR coach with an excellent track record. Just waiting for Phil & underthelake to inform us how Billy missed the boat again
Not much of a recruiter. Hopefully, Billy will handle the recruiting of WRs.
This is my concern.
IF HE CAN’T RECRUIT…….
Someone recruited the former big-time receivers he coached. Was it Mullen? If so I wonder how they were still available!!!!
Y’all wouldn’t have been slipping them a few dollars under the table before NIL???? Surely not! Daddy Dan would never have recruiting violations. Not on his watch!!!!!!
That show-cause was just the NCAA getting even with the Spurrier lineage!!!! Rumor has it that Mullen is Spurrier’s son!!!!
PS. I’m not sure I trust the source! Dan has been known to lie!!!! LOL JK
Negan
Great developer of talent, poor recruiter. On balance given Napier is weak on development and play calling, and much of his success depends on recruiting I don’t love the hire, especially after the wr talent dried up at the end of mullen’s regime. But it could be possible that Billy supplies the recruiting acumen and Gonzalez provides more savvy talent development. Unlikely but possible.
Spot on assessment Les. Gonzalez has never recruited well. Even those great Meyer recruiting classes didn’t include any top notch WRs, other than Harvin and he was a Meyer personal recruit.
Thanks St Louis. Based on past history, we might see a big jump in production in year 2 with Colbert’s stellar wr class from 2023. But after that unless another assistant picks up the recruiting slack we’ll likely see a big drop off in production/talent, similar to what he did with Mullen.
There’s no arguing Gonzalez’s record developing WRs. My only hope on his recruiting going forward is that Napier’s big analysis staff identifies the proper targets and Napier makes it a serious condition of Gonzalez’s continued employment to land at least a couple of the top five prospects every year.
Not every guy on staff needs to be an ace recruiter, you just need several of those. Between Napier, the position coaches and the 978 analysts we should have plenty of top notch recruiters. Why expect BG to be an ace recruiter when his boss didn’t give a rats arse about recruiting
Whistle…red flag, 15 yard penalty for excessive you love biden political double talk…which one is it, “he had to go out and hire a proven veteran WR coach with an excellent track record” or “Why expect BG to be an ace recruiter when his boss didn’t give a rats arse about recruiting”? Is he a slacker because his boss was? Or is he a WR coach with “an EXCELLENT” track record? Make up your mind palley, I’m getting dizzy…
Sorry Humper my bad, I come here for the back and forth between my fellow Gator brothers and sisters. I forget that you are a closet Gator fan and can’t live without coming here to join the fun and camaraderie. Who can blame you, right?
So to slow it down for those of lesser wit, or mental capacity, or understanding and comprehension, in other words, for you. BG is a veteran coach with a proven track record when it comes to coaching and development. Some have complained here about his recruiting prowess, thus my qualifier about working under Mullen. Same thing would apply to Brewster the TE coach, he of build the wall fame. When your boss is a slacker there’s not much you can do to improve the recruiting as a position coach.
BTW the slacker is Mullen, not BG.
In summary BG is both a veteran with an excellent track record and one who was not considered an ace recruiter
I appreciate the simplistic approach, palley…one simpleton follow up question, if your boss was the slacker and you are helpless to improve recruiting, shouldn’t it concern you that it took him 4 years to figure that out before he tucked tail and ran to leave his mark on the football power known as 5-7 FAU?
Nahh, the guy is loyal, he did what he could. He had some great results with the WR room production wise
I wonder, can you still see the bruises around his neck?
WOW! Out of the park home run hire. Lemme lay it out for you doubters/dumbasses. Fantastic WR coach with as formidable a track record as anyone coaching WR today in SEC, maybe entire P5. I’m going with the latter. Outstanding recruiter AND evaluator. Players learn the right way fast from him, play hard for him, and get better and better. Really well liked and respected by his peers, his players, his bosses and administrators. Proven history of loyalty, and always welcome wherever he’s been. AND a fresh offensive mind to THIS group of coaches (sorely needed), which is going to have a synergistic effect that will reverberate dynamically throughout the team. Gators just got SOOO much better! Billy(N) finally showed me that he can get to a core issue problem and come up with the right answer. I don’t know about Austin, but I have hopes. I know this team’s offense just got a whole lot better.
Who did he leave Napier with in year 1 in terms of recruited (not transfer) wr talent? Daejon Reynolds? Marcus Burke? Slow, tall, big bodied receivers who weren’t skilled route runners nor speedsters who could take the top off opposing defenses. He created part of the problem that CBN was hired to fix. And now CBN hires Gonzalez back to fix the problems in the wr room that are partially of his (Gonzalez) making? I hope you and CBN are right though and I am wrong.
Les, I think we’ll find out if Gonzales was the issue, or Mullen and his culture. I’m thinking that even if Gonzales isn’t much of a recruiter, CBN has people in place to help him, and Gonzales definitely develops talent well. I’m thinking it’ll be a good hire.
You are a smart one, Napier has an army of analysts in place to help Billy and everyone else
I believe leeland had counted north of 900 off field staffers and analysts
Leeland is a god among mere mortals.
Here’s what’s undeniable knowing Gonzalez’s record. He’s a high energy, likable position coach. His players listen to him and his coaching yields great results.
The curious thing about his recruiting, across both his Meyer and Mullen stints, is that the guys he brought in were mostly 4-stars, with some 5-stars (under Meyer,) and some 3-stars (under Mullen.) So, if you stop there, he was a good recruiter on paper. Unfortunately, none of the 4 and 5-stars Gonzalez recruited out of HS ever developed into anything special, other than Percy Harvin, who was a unique talent and Meyer’s own personal recruit.
Nice to see the cautious optimism approach, share that reality drink you’re having with mee palley cojo, won’t you Stl?
There’s good and bad coming along with Gonzalez Humper. I’m just a “glass-half-full” kind of guy.
If you’re gonna be perfectly honest, you guys have a similar situation going with Bobo at OC next season.
Perhaps, one big difference however, we know that Bobo can recruit and had shown glimpses of a topshelf OC prior to his venture into the HBC world…the other difference, Bobo is a Dawg alum, Gonzales does not have that tie to UF, his tie is Meyer-Mullet…
We’re at a similar place with Gonzalez. We know he can develop NFL quality WRs and he can talk 4 and 5-stars into playing for UF. Question is, can he be told to go recruit X, Y and Z and talk them into playing for UF? If he can, then someone else will choose the targets, hopefully on some better criteria than his in the past.
The part about not being an alum doesn’t bother me. Most coaches at most P5 programs are not alums. And, as far as I know, graduating from UGA doesn’t score anybody a halo. ;)
Most coaches at most P5 programs are not alums. And, as far as I know, graduating from UGA doesn’t score anybody a halo…
I hear you mi compadre…food for thought…most P5 programs don’t win back to back…
Of course they don’t, you are implying UGA is a special place that has the bestest of everything. Wonder why it took north of 4 decades to get that back to back
Let’s stay on topic. Those back-to-back NC’s had very little to do with Bobo’s contributions. That will change next season.
All I know for sure, Stl, is that UGa had never won back to back natties prior to Coach Bobo coming on staff as an analyst last year, just sayin…lol
Wonder why it took north of 4 decades to get that back to back…
Think about it, because it took north of 4 decades to hire a coach that had alum ties to the school, silly cojo…work with me bruh…
Hump’s “coach with ties to the school” is apparently his 2023 silly theme, just as “teams with open week breaks before playing UGA is an SEC conspiracy” was his 2020 silly theme.
Georgia is good right now because Georgia has strung together multiple top three recruiting classes. It has less to do with scheme and coaching and more to do with talent.
Do you know what other teams have strung together such recruiting classes…and yet
Go ahead and enlighten us. What other teams besides Bama are you referring to ?
LOL! Humper, you’re such a homer! The 25 years from 1990 to 2015 must’ve been really painful for you.
“Go ahead and enlighten us. What other teams besides Bama are you referring to?”
Sure palley, you know how I like stats (versus facts). Keeping in mind Nash’s point (and Nash is never wrong when it comes to points) “Georgia is good right now because Georgia has strung together multiple top three recruiting classes..”
Not exactly sure how many back to back to back seasons qualify as “multiple top 3 recruiting classes” nor how far we should look back in time but let’s go with 4 years before the first 4 team CFP format shall we?
Top 3 Recruiting:
2010 UF Tex USC
2011 Bama FSU USC
2012 Bama Tex UF
2013 Bama tOSU UF
2014 Bama LSU tOSU
2015 Bama USC FSU
2016 Bama LSU FSU (Kirby year 1)
2017 Bama tOSU UGa
2018 UGa tOSU Tex
2019 Bama UGa Tex
2020 UGa Bama Clem
2021 Bama tOSU LSU
2022 aTm Bama UGa
Let’s review, shall we palley n nash?
2014/2015 CFP No UF (yet they just came off of 3 of 4 top 3 classes stacked up) and also no USC and no Tex either…and Nash, no stacked top3 classes for the champ tOSU, yet they won it all…
2015/2016 CFP Bama with Okie-Clem-Mich St no top3 stacked classes, Bama did win with multiple top 3 classes
2016/2017 CFP Clem-tOSU-Wash no stacked top3 classes yet Clem won it all
2017/2018 CFP UGa-Okie-Clem no stacked top3 classes but again Bama did win it all with multiple top 3 classes…
2018/2019 Clem won it all without multiple stacked top3 classes
2019/2020…LSU won it all without multiple stacked top 3 classes…well, you guys get the point, yes? Like Nash said, Georgia is good right now because Georgia has strung together multiple top three recruiting classes. It has less to do with scheme and coaching and more to do with talent he says…if that were the case Bama would win every year, yet they are only 3 for 9…66% of the time they failed to win it all, must be more to it, perhaps scheme and coaching with great athletes? naw, not Kirby…
As for your well thought out question Palley, the jeopardy answer of the day is “What happened to Tex-UF-USC-FSU”
Hump, the answer in your data is so obvious that I’m surprised you wasted so much time writing it.
Of course there are other variables, most notably generational quarterbacks at Clemson and LSU. But those other variables are still players.
But for the answer to your, “What happened to Tex-UF-USC-FSU?”
The answer is:
Bama.
Nash, you have a great point there. A generational QB at UF, coupled with a generational TE and a great WR, nearly beat the 2020 NC Alabama team in the SECC game, in spite of having nearly zero defensive support.
I agree Humper’s answer is Alabama and I contend that Urban Meyer knew it when he had that “cardiac episode” that sent him to the hospital after losing the 2009 SECC game to Saban’s “process.”
Nash…that was the counter point to your “Georgia is good right now because Georgia has strung together multiple top three recruiting classes…it’s about talent, not scheme and coaching” silly theme.
Couldn’t agree more, definitely about generational players with (say it with me) the right scheme and coaching…Otherwise, we would have to view Saban as an epic failure in the theme and coaching part for not winning it every year, he has had top 3 talent for 12 of the last 14 classes…
StlG8r mi compadre, my answer wasn’t Bama, it was any team that could out coach and out scheme Bama. Previously that was Dabo, now it’s Kirby…tomorrow my money is on Kelly.
Hump, it’s good to see you’re still unable to admit the obvious.
For the whoever knows how many-eth times, Kirby is a very good coach and he’s had a very good staff. But the players are the difference (and yes, he gets credit for recruiting them), and the players at the quarterback position were the difference in the non-Bama / non-UGA years.
In particular, all top classes are not created equal… even if they look equal on paper. Bama’s and UGA’s talent stacking on the line of scrimmage after 2010 was qualitatively different than TX-UF-USC-FSU.
Funny thing about that, Nash…do you know the difference between stacked quantitative top 3 classes and stacked qualitative top 3 classes? The teams that win it all are the latter, except in years when they don’t win it all…I bet Bama leads the country in both. Got to admit though, the past two years they appear to have floundered in quantitative waters…
In my experience, “qualitative” is very specifically top notch QBs and big uglies. What made Alabama special was all the NFL level OL and DL talent they stacked like cordwood between 2008 and 2016. RBs and LBs begged to play behind those guys. Then tOSU and Clemson outscored Saban’s plodding offenses and he adapted. He brought in Kiffin, his high flying O and his west coast HS 5-star QB connections, but the talent level along the LOS fell off some as running the ball took a back seat to passing and a premium was put on quick over large.
Kirby took with him to UGA the concept of stacking NFL OL and DL talent like cordwood and he already had all the recruiting connections. Then, he lucked into Bennett at QB. Let’s see how UGA performs post Bennett. They’ll be good, but not sure three-peat good.
What killed UF, FSU, USC and TX was their OL and DL talent didn’t keep up with Alabama’s, LSU’s, UGA’s and for a brief while Clemson’s.
BTW, is it only me who noticed that the slow recession of Clemson over the last 5 years coincided with the rise of UGA, as Alabama held fairly steady? I guess there just aren’t enough talented big uglies in the south to support more than two “dynasties” at a time.
He brought in Kiffin, his high flying O and his west coast HS 5-star QB connections, but the talent level along the LOS fell off …
Hence the conundrum of a high flying offense. O-liners tend to be very good at either pass blocking or run blocking. Rarely are they good at both. It takes scheme and coaching to turn a 4*/5* big ugly into an effective dual threat, this above all is the secret to Kirby’s success and thankfully the media and football experts keep him and his front 5 hungry in that area…Joe Moore after Joe Moore rejection…
Oh, and by the way, he didn’t “luck” into Bennett, he coached him up and then schemed him perfectly…he saw something in SB4 that none of us saw, not even me. I don’t expect a big drop off from SB to Beck or Brock. Talent wise and arm strength clearly I see an improvement, its field acumen that will need grooming.
While I absolutely HATE that we aren’t getting to play Okie this year, starting the season with a few cupcakes could not have panned out any better. I would give our 3-peat odds a flip of the coin chance if we can teach our guys to drive 55… We shall see. That early tift with USCeast will show a lot…
As for Clemson, I don’t buy that it was the rise of UGa, and Bama has been rising since 2008. Clemson was fine until they missed on DJ as QB and Dabo loyalty took them off the rails for a couple of seasons. Add in losing his two chief offensive and defensive architects and I don’t know if they’ll regain their spot at the top anytime soon, but as we all know, give Dabo the right QB and good things are ahead…but Dabo will have to surrender to the new age of pay to play TP/NIL football for that to happen. While I love his stance on it and his loyalty to his players, his reluctance is doing him no favors in staying competitive. It’s the new age of college football, love it or hate it.
Humper, you just hit on something very few CFB fans even notice. College level O linemen are usually only good at run blocking, or pass blocking. The rare ones that show dual ability in college usually go very high in the NFL draft, as Torrence is about to demonstrate again.
The “lucking in” part about Bennett was in the kid swallowing his pride and going back to UGA as a walk-on and dealing with the rejection he got from the OC, until he caught on. Most HS QBs of that caliber don’t deal well with rejection.
Trask is another example of the loyal, patient and determined type. He may surprise a lot of people this season at Tampa Bay.
Finally, I also agree with you that Dabo needs to adapt to the new CFB landscape, or retire. However, the quality of his big uglies has gone down steadily over the last 5 years, especially on the defensive side of the ball, where UGA has been cleaning up over the same stretch. Clemson is likely to remain an ACC power as long as Dabo is there, but their days as a real threat to win a NC are over, for now.
Blue chippers Burke, Reynolds, Henderson, Fraziars, and Copeland (transferred after coaches were sacked) and Red chippers Marks, Weston and Whittemore. Feel free to shape shift the facts as suits your needs. Billy G will recruit MUCH better in this environment than he did in the last. He has a leader who knows Jessie’s and Joe’s, the (I’m in) Heavener center, nice digs, support staff, budget, I mean JHC need I go on ad nauseum? I think Nape and the gang have a lot more to prove than BillyG at this point.
For what it’s worth, Mullen put a premium on size and outside blocking ability. Several of the future NFL wide receivers under Mullen were McElwain recruits and/or transfers. Napier seems to be looking more for guys with speed and hands on the outside.
For what it’s worth, the NFL agrees more with Napier than Mullen on priorities in a WR. That should’ve made a difference to Mullen, but clearly he had other ideas.
We’ll soon see how that affects BG’s recruiting.
gatorfan8115……Based on those names of PAST RECEIVERS he’s coached, who would question his hire??? NOT ME! The problem is that it’s not Dan Mullen’s offense. Plus you still have got to have THE TALENT!!!!!
Napier thinks he’s going to build another Georgia or Alabama based on discipline alone!!! Thus far whether they deserved it or not. Napier has only separated Florida’s top players from the team. Calling it all discipline!!!!!
THAT NICK SABAN COMPARISON FROM THE MEDIA WENT TO HIS HEAD!!!!!!!!
THE MEDIA ALSO SAID KIRBY WAS THE MOST LIKE SABAN!!!!!
Yet, they forget Alabama hasn’t looked nearly like they used to since Kirby Smart came home! So how do they know it wasn’t Kirby making Alabama great??? The last team to go back to back before Georgia was Alabama! Who recruited and coached that elite defense??? Umm yep, Kirby Smart!!!! Now he’s done it at Georgia, his home school!!!!
WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GIVE KIRBY SMART HIS OWN CREDIT, WITHOUT THE MENTION OF SABAN EVERY TIME???? KIRBY WILL NEVER SAY A WORD BUT GOOD ABOUT SABAN!!!!
Kirby will always give Saban all the honor. That is just who he is!!! I wonder when Saban will ever open his mouth and say. ” Without Kirby Smart, Will Muschamp, Scott Cochrane, Jimbo Fisher, Lane Kiffen, Sark and a host of others. I might not have any of these rings without them!!!!!THESE GUYS MEANT EVERYTHING TO MY SUCCESS!!!!! And especially without Kirby Smart recruiting and coaching at both LSU and ALABAMA. I ABSOLUTELY WOULDN’T HAVE 5 OF THESE CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS!!! Kirby was with me the year I won my first at LSU and was with me for 4 at Alabama! KIRBY HELD THE TITLE OF CO-HEAD COACH FOR YEARS AT ALABAMA!!!! So THANK YOU to all these guys and more who helped make me what I am today. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE ONE AND ONLY KIRBY SMART!!!!! ”
Yep this is what I would love to read or hear, but it likely ain’t coming. Unless it’s a retirement speech! Oh I forgot Napier spent a season or so under Saban didn’t he? I believe he was an analyst???? Honestly I can’t remember….
As for this hire. I certainly don’t see any downside to it. He did coach some massively talented wide receivers!!! Yet, I will still caution the reader to remember. GOOD OR BAD AS A HEAD COACH, WHO KNOWS WHEN IT COMES TO DAN MULLEN??? Still he absolutely knows how to put points on the board!!!!
In fact had Mullen chosen to GO FAST LIKE JOSH HEIPAL AND TENNESSEE. He would have easily done just as well as Tennessee!!!! TO HIS CREDIT. MULLEN TRIED TO PLAY COMPLIMENTARY FOOTBALL!!!! His downfall was LACK OF DEPTH ON DEFENSE AND TERRIBLE DEFENSIVE COACHING. BECAUSE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR TODD GRANTHAM IS JUST TOO PREDICTABLE!!!!! The opposition knows to be ready for lots of blitzing ESPECIALLY ON 3RD DOWN!!!!!
What was once EXOTIC & A BIT SNEAKY. Well now it was now ALL ON TAPE 1000Xs OVER!!! Now nothing is new or SNEAKY! ITS ALL EXPECTED NOW!!! If Todd Exotic manages to stop anyone these days. Either they have NO TALENT, or they stop themselves. Otherwise they just haven’t watched any tape!!! GRANTHAM DOES EXACTLY THE SAME THING EVERY THIRD DOWN!!!! Yea, he changes the Blitzer but everyone does that!!! It’s only a matter of PRE-SNAP READS!!!!
HONESTLY I TRULY BELIEVE JAKE FROMM ENJOYED 3RD DOWN VS FLORIDA/3RD & GRANTHAM!!!! I THINK ITS POSSIBLE HE DELIBERATELY GOT INTO 3RD DOWN VS GRANTHAM!!!!!
Go back review those old games. Florida was doing pretty well on 1st or 2nd down. It was 3rd down that Fromm made a living off of!!! I mean without 3rd and Grantham Florida likely wins at least one more of those games!!! YES, MULLEN HAD A HUGE DISCIPLINE ISSUE AND I MEAN HUGE!!!! STILL MULLEN’S REFUSAL TO FIRE TODD GRANTHAM COST HIM NOT ONLY HIS JOB. MAYBE IT ALSO COST HIM A POTENTIAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN…..
Had Mullen hired a real ACE RECRUITER that also coached hard-nosed stout real defense! The kind Florida used to play. Way back when their D LINE owned the line of scrimmage and their DB’s were all fast NFL type guys. Not to mention their linebackers were, well like Georgia is now! That Florida team would have been TERRIFYING!!!! THE COCKTAIL PARTY WOULD HAVE AGAIN WRECKED MY LAST NERVE. THE WAY IT USED TO DO!!!!!
Honestly, Mullen was a great DC/recruiter away from being just that!!! Dawg fans need to all say a huge THANK YOU to Dan Mullen! For recruiting only during the off-season/recruiting season, and especially for sticking with TODD GRANTHAM!!!!
Napier has a good vision, but this ain’t the sun-belt conference. Honestly I believe Mullen was a better fit for the Florida culture in general. He knows the SEC way better!!! I’m telling you the truth. MULLEN WAS A DC/RECRUITER AND SOME DISCIPLINE AWAY FROM BEING TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE!!!
THINGS WE CAN ALL BE THANKFUL FOR….
It’s a blessing for everyone. That 3 HUGE brands all call Florida home. That being FSU, MIAMI & FLORIDA! Now UCF has joined the pack to some degree!!! All 3 and now 4 brands. Help to prevent just one brand or team, from getting all that great Florida talent that we all love to poach!!!!! LOL
LSU ALWAYS GETS A TON OF HOMEGROWN TALENT. BECAUSE WHO IN LOUISIANA IS THERE TO CHALLENGE THEM???? NOBODY!!!
TEXAS HAS A&M AND SEVERAL OTHERS LIKE BAYLOR WHO TAKE FROM THAT RICH TEXAS TALENT!!!! REALLY THERE ARE TONS OF TEAMS IN AND OUTSIDE OF TEXAS WHO ALWAYS STAY TEXAS RICH AS THEY SAY! THAT IS THE #1 REASON TEXAS AINT BACK! THAT AND COACHING!!!!! SO BE THANKFUL ONE TEAM HASN’T FIGURED IT OUT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE 2 BIGGEST BRANDS WILL BE SEC SOON!!!!!!
THIS BRINGS US TO OUR BACK TO BACK NATIONAL CHAMPION AND CURRENT SEC CHAMPION GEORGIA BULLDOGS!!!!! A HAND FOR OUR DAWGS!!!! THEY AIN’T NOBODY CAN POACH GEORGIA ON THE REGULAR!!! SABAN MIGHT GRAB ONE NOW AND THEN, BUT GEORGIA ALWAYS REPAYS WITH INTEREST!!!! GA TECH/GA WHO? BEING OUR BIGGEST IN STATE RIVAL….Let’s just say. Georgia is set to GOD WILLING DOMINATE for a long long time to come. So learn to love it!!!!!
PS. Since our gator brethren will be down for a good time to come. Just paint the SEC sky RED & BLACK!!!!!!
ITS A BLACK & RED DAWN!!! © Negan
RISE UP ANGRY DAWGS AND SHOW THE WORLD HOW A BULLDAWG BITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not going to lie Negan I read 10% of that you wrote and stoped. You turn every comment on a gator article into a kiss Kirby’s a— festival.
If you want to be like humper and troll that is cool but do not write a novel and turn your comments into something completely off the topic bud.
That was rather diplomatic and tolerant of you gatorfan8115. Cojones wouldn’t have been nearly as kind to that Georgia Troll.
BTW, Humper’s just a smart aleck playing catchup for 25 years of mostly embarrassment suffered by UGA at the hands of those mean old Gators. He’s really a good Dawg at heart, even if he’ll still occasionally have “an accident” on your carpet.
Bro as usual I couldn’t make it past the first paragraph.
As usual that was enough to know that you need some professional help. Long winded, delusional, fantasy land same ole manure.
See, I went back and read the second paragraph and what I said before stands but I need to add another qualifier, false, wrong and full of sheet (like Biden I went for 3 instead of the one).
The best players on our team were brought in by Napier and are still on the team, exceptions would be Ventrell Miller and Jason Marshall, although Jason is still with us.
Advise to you, keep it simple you dumbass
Funny, I didn’t read a word… just looked at the length and the all caps sentences and immediately knew who it was.
Scrolled to the bottom and sure enough.
Negan, perhaps you could write your next treatise comparing the player culture at Georgia under Kirby to the player culture at Florida under Meyer. Seems like there are some developing similarities.
FAKE “PUNISHMENT” FOR BRANDON SPIKES’ EYE-GOUGING – nope
EDITING TERRELLE PRYOR OUT OF TRIBUTE VIDEO – negative
UNFUNNY PRANK CALL TO BARON BROWNING – not yet
LYING TO–AND LOSING–RECRUIT JEVAN SNEAD – nae
CAM NEWTON CONTROVERSY – N to the O
ALIENATING NON-CHRI$ TIAN PLAYERS – hmmm…nope
READING SCRI PTURE IN HIS OFFICE WITH AARON HERNANDEZ…nay nay winny
FAILED DRUG TESTS UNDER THE RUG …Percy Harvin, Brandon Spikes, and Aaron Hernandez all missed a game due to failed drug tests for mari juana. Officially, Meyer reported that the three were injured…who can forget that little ditty – not today, Sa tan, not today
SPEAKING OF (HARVIN CHOKING) THE RETURN OF WR COACH BILLY GONZALES – no way, Jose
Kirby gonna have to up his game I’m afraid, Nash…and so are you, do try harder…
But hey, if all it takes is 2 natties and a Tebow Ed Smith for all is forgiven, we have 2 and an almost with Stetson so far…
Hilarious that you’re tracking this stuff, although I think your stream of consciousness goes a tad off the rails. I have no idea what at least half of your all caps tirade is referring to.
Rough day yesterday?
Should we start calling you Negan’s Mini Me?
That was actually done in jest to your Funny, I didn’t read a word… just looked at the length and the all caps sentences and immediately knew who it was…comment. Sorry ol boi, couldn’t resist.
Not going to waste time on it, but the more I thought about it, Georgia has had more than a few of its own instances of misbehavior, with multiple players interacting with the criminal justice system.
One big difference, nahs my man…Kirby took care of the issues and didn’t try to hide them under the rug…Brenton Cox say hey…
Nash…I recall hearing Urban Meyer say that he recruited the Top 1% of elite players. Kirby’s doing the same thing and yes there were incidents with that Top 1% like Aaron Hernandez, etc.
Yes AFan, it’s an inevitable consequence of recruiting significant numbers of highly entitled genetic lottery winners, whose every misstep throughout their lives has been excused and swept under the rug.
I would rank Kirby above Meyer on the character scale, but a lot of this stuff is just inevitable. Saban, Meyer, Swinney, Smart, can’t be avoided.
Im not reading all that
we know…you can’t read
Love the passion you ALL have for Florida!
It’s Great to be a Gator!
You’re welcome, It’s even greater to be a G8RH8R!
Humper, as GFA would say, you’re so cute. Just look at you, dreaming you’re one of us. But know that you are accepted here for who you are, we are inclusive without being woke. So enjoy yourself.
You are welcome
Hey look, spring ball in UGa’ville and we have not 1 but 3 Jamie Newmans competing, any prognostications on how underachiever do less with more Kirby will muck that up?
Come on man, even I, that don’t follow puppy ball, know that the 3 guys you have are nothing like my fav Jamie Newman. Now it remains to be seem if Kirby will muck this one up. Do you have any D’wan Mathises around?
Finally, a good question palley…no.
CBN better get the bullg8r NIL collective together to count their change and get their offer together, someone is going to get a great QB when 1 of our 3 transfers out after spring ball…
Hump, I don’t think “great” means what you think it means.
Great point, Nash…oh wait
Well even without a Mathis Kirby can still make the wrong choice and as you said one or both of the un chosen will probably bail.
I know you assume all 3 of your guys are “great “ but not only do you not know the meaning of “great “ you shouldn’t assume
It is flattering that Leghumper prefers to “hang out” with Gator fans on the comments section, one day he will come out as a Gator fan I’m thinking… :)
Hanging around the UGa pages has become really boring other than the occasional Nascar incident, generally speaking the only thing that comes out in our articles is how great we are and how great we are going to be again, and what 5* is going to replace the 15 5*s that got drafted, and, well you get the point. As I have often admitted, I prefer to read fantasy novels sprinkled with delusion and being this site is cluttered with UF writers…I find it much more entertaining hanging out with my downtrodden homies here. Don’t you agree?
all those words
and yet…
2008
Actually I’m excited for the possibilities, life is too short to be downtrodden over football. :)
Dawgs, 2008 was a wonderful year in many ways, glad you enjoyed it as well.
Not really. I was in Iraq. Still managed not to shoot anyone. Can’t say the same for the 2008 Gators
My brother did 3 tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, they were rough. Glad you didn’t have to shoot anyone. As for the Gators, who was shot in 2008? AH did his killings in the NFL.
Dawgs2021 – GFA has answered with a reality check, but in all seriousness, what unit were you with in Iraq? That was a III Corps rotation if I remember correctly, so I’m really asking if you were at Ft Hood.
Lord no. 2nd BDE, 10th Mountain Division. I was a Sapper at the time. Hold is my second least favorite place in the Army behind only Leonard Wood.
Engineers! The 4th Combat Arm. Why it was ever classified as Combat Support I’ll never understand. Engineers bailed my a** out of a jam more times than I can count.
Hood is actually a good place. I always avoided it too, but telling my branch that I’d be up for any assignment EXCEPT Hood was the only way I could get out of Ft Bliss after two years of waking up screaming every morning. Throw me in the briar patch – I was quite surprised at how good it really was. So much so that I stayed for 6 years and actually retired here.
Now Bliss – another story entirely. If the Almighty were ever to give the world an enema, you can be quite sure that’s where he would put the hose.
At least your short and to the point humper ..wish negan could learn that
THAT, I’m afraid, is a lost cause.
YOU ALMOST BEAT VANDY!!!!!!
