Most of us played sports growing up and most of us probably sucked, that said we all wanted to win more than anything else. Now consider a kid with world class talent who's for sure always dominated every physical competition he's ever been a part of in any sport since he was a small child. Of course he wants to go somewhere that he has a chance to win. He's getting paid here and his brother is a star NFL running back, he's not making decisions based off a couple thousand dollar difference in NIL money.

By the time administration acts, this program will be so devoid of talent, not sure who would be the answer. We are watching the total destruction of a program and no one who can do anything about it seems to give a ****. When guys that the current coach recruits transfers away from said coach, the ship has sunk. There will be no offensive changes and I have a bet with a buddy that our recruiting class will bottom out outside of the top 20. Meanwhile, nobody but the fans seem to give a ****.
You can't amass talent and develop "your roster," if all your best recruits leave before that is ever accomplished. It's a leaking boat with no buckets in sight. Fire his ass now. Or...or, or, or hear me out, let him get stomped in 2024, then fire mid-season. 2024 is a lost cause at this point. We plan to fire Sticknine first or simultaneous. All we know for sure is that Stricknine will NEVER fire Napier unless made to do so.

We switched football organizations with my son this year. We left it up to him on where he wanted to play. He chose to go play for a winning organization, like almost all the good players.
I can’t blame anyone for leaving the sh*tshow we’ve got going on right now.

Sun Belt Billy is such a pathetic fcvking loser with a bunch of losers on his staff. He really fcvking sucks. Gawd this guy is such a tool & a clown.
The argument can be made given what can and was accomplished at UF that this is the worst coaching hire in the history of college football. I’m 100 percent serious . **** sunbelt billy Bob

Stop kidding yourself. Ultimately....it's about money
Yeah it has nothing to do with losing 7 games 2 years in a row while running behind the worse coached oline in his lifetime. You do realize over 50% of Napier's 2nd recruiting class is gone. Name a single other college coach who's lost over half their bump class before their third year? I bet there's not but a couple over 25%.

Winning cures everything, we're just addicted to hiring losers.

3 things:

1. Brandon Olsen is a wannabe insider who just has a bunch of subscriptions to all the gator boards and then acts like he actually knows something. He aint talk to nobody and is just taking **** others are saying off boards.
2. Shemar James is our best defensive player. Princely was a let down this year. Maybe it is because of development and S&C...dont know.
3. Even though Branden Olson is a twattwaffle and 10x more annoying to listen to than David Waters voice, well...he aint wrong.
He does have the most annoying voice and style in radio

My son just made the same decision. Got tired of giving everything week in and week out and feeling like he's having to do so to compensate for others not as dialed in. Don't blame him at all.

I have no issue with guys wanting to leave but I am not in the camp that ETN is trying to solely get more money, etc. He had some type of ad or commercial deal at UF and sure he is a good player, but he is no Barry Sanders. I doubt whatever extra NIL money he might get will make a difference. I think he would like to play for a winning team and perhaps think he is being better developed.
He better be glad BN didn’t beat him like a mule. He very well could have. A RB only has so many hits and he’s not very big.

Funny you bring that up we did as well with my 8 year old. I coached his rec and all-star team, we won the state championship last Sunday. Being involved with that since Aug has made this shyt show so much more bearable. If those 7 &8 year olds hadn't been so successful no doubt Ox would of already banned my ass. :lol:

Undeniably the first coach to have two losing seasons since the 40s.

By next year he will be the first coach to have 3 losing seasons since the 30s.

And keep in mind that untilnthe mid70s, Florida was mostly a swamp and had less population than Mississippi. It isnt really fair to compare us pre population growth to today, when we are the state that consistently produces the first or second most talent in the country.

Of course winning cures things....not that we would know anything about that, but....ETN is thinking about him and that still comes down to money. This isn't defending BN because I don't really blame him for leaving. It's about the money AND winning.

I'm leaning more towards money and he wants to be THE featured back. He wants to be a high first rounder.

Also, he doesn't want to block.

I don't blame him.

But I don't think for a second it's soley because he wants to win.

Ready for your head to explode? If he were the featured back, we’d have won more games and he’d be well on his way to the first round.
