Think about this. As bad as Colorado looked last week, they are in the game.

Deons team looks better than Napier team. Let that sink in.
I and I hope most are beyond comparing our team to another or another coach. I understand your point, but just seeing how the team I root for is constantly going down the wrong path and nothing is being done to change it for the positive is punishment enough.

Billy is just another Zook.

Also, don’t share that view. Zook absolutely killed himself to try to make it here and simply didn’t have it. But everything he did was within the basic framework of coaching. He didn’t have these asinine views that were completely unorthodox that he insisted on going with. He just wasn’t good enough. Napier, McElwain, Mullen, and Muschamp all knew what they were doing wasn’t working and refused to change, because they didn’t care and are all losers.

I seriously think it's time to move on.
We've seen the best and the worst of Billy's coaching acumen. This is big time college football.
Just let him go at the end of the season, and move on.

Let's not F around this time. Let's reach out to every damn big name coach in the country. Throw some serious money around. We now have the facilities, the organization and everything a coach could possibly ask for to be successful.

We've built the infrastructure.

Let's get a big name coach in, that could save this class, and move on from Sunbelt Billy and his no O coordinator, No Special teams Coordinator and two offensive line coaches.

So when does the administration realize this is not working and start the search. We all know deep down inside this needs to end. What does it take besides the money for them to pull the trigger?

A moot point if we don't fire Stricklin first. We need a football first AD who understands what makes Florida football tick. I'll give you a hint, it isn't playing smashmouth football.

Really thought provoking and enlightening given the results. Re the No STs or OC, "well coach, what did you think was going to happen?" Hell, I still miss the Spurrier days when our team looked SHARP 9 games out of 10. It's one thing to lose, another when your team rarely looks sharp, ie, well coached.

Am not completely against the two OL coaches, except that, it doesn't appear to be paying off.

I would have no problem with Billy being Run Game coordinator, or if I only knew he had discussed his pass game with proven winners and they had more or less signed off on it. But today, what I had thought was going to happen, a bobbled ball exactly where the first down marker was, along with three kentucky defenders, turned into a really unfortunate play. Is it my imagination or does just being in that area put a defender close to the play most of the time requiring our QB and WR to be perfect?

Not going to blame Mertz for not seeing a few open receivers. All QBs do it. It's the system I dislike. Do we run crossing patterns or create open spaces by sending guys deep... I don't know, I do not see the field well, just watch the ball and the plays unfold.

Exactly! Go the fuch around the defense. Broken record be damned, the farking end around that never gets the ball is silly, sophomoric football. 4th and 2, end around never gets the ball and we run up the middle into a line of defenders. The smashmouth team identity is nice, but it makes every game a tough game. He seems hard headed or, pardon me, dim witted.

Offense was meh.
Special teams were good.
Defense was abysmal.

We’re now officially Kentucky’s bitch.

Um, every game is a tough game on this level every week, unless you are supremely talented to your opponent which we will never be. Any system will work if you are good at it. Look at today's game. We got trucked by a smash mouth team that could not throw or catch a cold. I watch plenty of finesse, sideways teams every week lose plenty of games. Whatever you do do it as close to perfect as possible and you will be successful.
