Only one reason - there are no cliffs in Florida.
Thanks Threat
The quick answer to me is that he’s finally fleshed out a Florida staff that is comparable, if not quite equal just yet, to the elite CFB programs in terms of both quantity and quality. His emphasis on recruiting has been long overdue and will eventually be an equalizer if not difference maker. With the support staff, just the volume of stats and information that can be disaggregated by the analysts into utile information for game-planning, self-evaluation (game and practice), and recruiting is worlds ahead of where we’ve been, due in large part to the heightened emphasis and attention by the HBC. To the latter point, Napier obviously is not bound to the old myth that Florida recruits itself or the Mullen tenet that he’s smart enough to beat anybody with his lesser roster. It has not hurt that he has added some well-regarded position coaches. We look more like Alabama’s organizational structure than Austin Peay’s. For the first time in a while, optimism outweighs doubt, or it looks that way to me at least.
Watch the Austin Peay references, ok.Thanks Threat

Didn’t mean to offend, Homer. Just a difference in size reference. Besides, how could I disparage AP who once had NY playground legend Fly Williams on the basketball squad? As I recall, the student body would chant at games “Fly’s Open! Let’s Go Peay!”
