There’s a lot of chatter out there that boosters wanna go back to Florida’s roots. Bring in Florida guys.

One podcast is constantly pushing for Kerwin Bell. Shane Matthews says that Kerwin Bell will never be an OC anywhere after working under Charlie Strong. He said it was completely disastrous working under a coach who did not give him the freedom to do what he needed to do.

He will only do head coach jobs from here on out.

How the hell do we not have Keiwann Ratliff on this staff?

For starters at QB, Mertz has played light years better than AR did at any point last year. We've actually won games because of Mertz and instead of losing games for us like AR did. Our WRs and TEs are better as a whole this year. Ricky, Wilson, boardingham, and etc have performed better and are a more talented group than we had last year. And the majority are all Billy's guys. Yes our O line is struggling but you can't blame Billy for that, we had guys transfer out for different non related football reasons and he made the best out of our bad situation.

Defense is solid up front and we added depth on the d line and LB through the portal. You guys give Marshall a hard time but he rarely gets thrown at because he is playing so well. The rest of our secondary is mostly young guys learing on the job. And shemar went down at LB but he was playing lights out before that. The proof is there, you just REFUSE to see it because we haven't won every game and beat everybody by 20 points. Get real
First paragraph I can agree with. Marshall is playing so well? He is like the one DB that when the offense needs a big play it's like their go to play...match up their best WR on Marshall and bingo. He can't or won't tackle, have you actually watched him in pursuit? Buford T. Justice has a hotter pursuit than Marshall. Kimber is no different.

I guess that’s my point. I don’t hate him because the guy puts the work in. He’s just not good enough. So he needs to be fired.

You could own a company where you have people out there that are busting their ass every day but they’re not performers. In the end if you’re not a performer, you’re let go.

If our program had any balls at all, they would go out and get Dan Lanning. Just like USC did with the Oklahoma guy.

But don’t do a 10 year deal. Do a 5 year deal. And pay the shyt out of him for five years.

Have Dan Lanning grab Sam Pittman as his OL coach. I think that overnight this team would be a contender.
Last night it was Elko you wanted and today you've changed your tune to Lanning. Let me guess once Lanning loses again this year you will be calling for us to go after Ryan Day. And you want to just recklessly throw gobs of money at them, and be A&M 2.0. This is the Univeristy of Florida, not some dumb hicks that stumbled upon oil fields and have more money than they know what to do with. We're a little more sophisticated. Lanning isn't even proven. He is living off of Cristobals talent. I'm sure if Mario was still the HC at Oregon you would be salivating at the mouth over him. Also, Lanning has the QB with the most CFB starts ever, give Mertz another year with Billy and we will be putting up 40 points a game.

I don't really have anything to add, yet another lowlight, embarrassing performance. I guess the only thing I have noticed is that Taterhead has totally lost the fanbase, only the most diehard pumpers who are always the last one's off the Titanic are still true believers. Nobody believes this guy has what it takes to be successful. He should be fired now, but he'll make it into the middle of next year before the inevitable happens, thus wasting yet another season.

Go to the 7:40 mark, case closed


So let me get this right, he is featured in 3 total plays out of the 10 minute video and ONE play is enough evidence to say he is lazy, sorry, or whatever bull crap you want to spew about him?

You do know LSU is the best offense in the Country right? You do know they have the best WRs in all of college football, it's not like he is getting beat by some nobody. Joe Haden never got burnt? Give me a break.

Nobody will ever be able to meet your PERFECT standards

I wanted Elko? Interesting. I’m sure there has to be a post from me last night saying that…

You know, even though Saul is being absurdly hilarious in this thread, there are actually posters on other websites that are all in on BN. They don’t even think he should fire AA. They think the players just need to play better. And we just need to take a couple more years to get there.

You don’t want to visit those cesspool threads.

Well sue me, (I wouldn't try it if I was you). I'm trying to respond to all of you negative woe is me eeyore types and I made a mistake and didn't take the time to read what you actually posted and lumped you haters all together.

You got one over on Saul, there are you happy?

These type of fans are the worst. What does Mike Hocke have to do with that? Wingo was trying to make a play with relentless effort and got blindsided. Should have been an obvious flag but the refs and their home cooking.

Stricklin needs to be fired

And Billy needs to be fired. Just take the bandaid off. Recruiting may suffer but fill in with portal kids and bring in an offensive minded head coach who can bring in an elite DC.

This whole shopping for our coaches at Walmart has to stop.

Walmart? Shyyt, we wish we went highbrow like that.

The BOGO bin at Big Lots is where we’ve been shopping the last 12 years.

You can't honestly expect Billy to be a miracle worker and make us a playoff contender overnight. He came into a situation that was the worst in the country. No other football program was even close to as bad as the situation Florida football was in. Nobody have ever taken a program to a championship and won it in year 2, nobody. And with NIL and the transfer portal to take into account, it's the hardest it's ever been.

Congrats. This post managed a full cycle of reactions. Bonus Oxbucks or something .

This is the ever popular trend with nearly ALL of our defensive "5 stars"....been here for about 5 years now and are still 15-20# undersized and 3or 4 tenths in the forty too slow for their positions....This started around 2018 and is becoming a tradition.
