It's time to move on

[Born2beagator]

I think by this time next season any of the remaining Napier supporters are going to feel like morons when we look back and realize he’s the worst coach we’ve had at UF. Ever.

Sharkhumper. I don't think Napier is a POS human being. Sharkhumper was.

 

[G8trwood]

At least we didn’t overpay, again.

Billy sounds like he is taking Urbs special vitamins

 

[Tunaboat]

Can't wait to see Slingblade's patented romance with a bottle of water before kissing Norvellllll's ass. Fuk him, he's gone.

 

[MertzJay26]

This is wild, Napier’s shortcomings have made it across the pond into Europe and they’re ready to see him canned. Didn’t see this coming.

Agree. I think he's the worst in gator history. Horrid.

I posted it in the chat, but we need to fire Stricklin ASAP. He shouldn't be AD on Monday. The new AD should then get to decide Billy's fate and find his replacement when it is time to part ways. If we let Stricklin hire another HC, we're going to get another clown.

I don't think Billy is the answer, but I don't think now is the time to fire him. We need the talent he's bringing in for the next guy. So if I was the new AD, he stays for next season unless one of the following happens:

1. He refuses to bring in a new OC and hand off play calling duties. The OC needs to be a splash hire and someone the new AD likes as well.
2. He loses the recruiting class. This is defined as losing either Lagway or 5+ other players with 4* or more.
3. He needs to get enough guys out of the portal to effect a complete turnaround next year. No more mulligans, no more weak units.

Next year, he needs to stay above .500 at all times and end the season 8-4 or better. If either of those doesn't happen, he's fired. I think the odds are low, so now is the time to have some back room conversations with boosters and get funding lined up for his buyout and the new hire. Pull some money from the "make the swamp smaller and worse fund", too.

If he manages to survive next year, the benchmark the year after is 10 wins and a playoff berth. It stays there after that; that's the standard we hired him for. There's no reason we should ever settle for less than that consistently with the resources and location we have.

I have no illusions any of the above will happen. The likely outcome is he's fired after Georgia next year with a losing record and Stricklin, still AD, picks another crappy unproven coach and pays like we're poaching from a blue chip.

I just don’t agree with any of this. He should be fired tonight. The experiment is over.

I hope the recruits still sick to UF

At this point I'd let him hire another one if it means the Napier era is over.

If I could only fire one right now, I'd choose Strickland. He's botched his last two hires. I'd rather he not set Gator football back another 4 years on top of the 6-7 years he's already screwed up.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Sharkhumper. I don't think Napier is a POS human being. Sharkhumper was.

Sharkhumper at least won games. Hell we got to Atlanta under him. Napier couldn't carry that dude's jock strap.

 

[GatorJB]

But to be clear, both need to go.

 

[GatorJ]

 

[Tunaboat]

Finebaum was right. Napier is a dead weight around Florida's neck so cut it loose and move on with competent people doing the hiring. This is unacceptable and will not change until we get rid of Slingblade.

He won't be here this time next year

 

[Bait'n Gator]

Don't be surprised if we lose Etn and Wilson to the portal.

 

[GatorJ]

 

[t-gator]

Napier is a fraud. A snake oil salesman. I'd make fight us in court for the buyout

 

[MertzJay26]

Don't be surprised if we lose Etn and Wilson to the portal.

Please no. I want them to be Gators til they hit the league. Gotta have something to root for, and rn the only thing to root for are former Gators in the league

 

[t-gator]

Don't be surprised if we lose Etn and Wilson to the portal.

Couldn't blame em. I just entered the portal, myself.

 

[Gatorbait25]

He flipped a significant amount of the roster bc that's what he wanted to do. He claimed we needed to upgrade talent and brought in a bunch of guys he claimed were upgrades. We are worse and more embarrassing in year 2 with his guys than yr 1 with Mullen players.

His playcalling is complete ass.

His defense lacks fundamentals, is extremely undisciplined, and can't tackle for crap.

The STs are consistently bad and routinely horrific.

His crootin so far has been below Mullen and this current class he has projected to be better is crumbling with a decent chance of more decoms after this latest abortion of a game plan.

He has a losing record. Not a losing conf record or even a losing season record, although yes he has all those too for the 2nd year in a row, but no, he has an overall losing record and we get worse the deeper into each season we go.

Let's give him another year and see what happens.

To put it more simply and less eloquently than my dear friend dirty ….Billy just can’t coach . OL is a mess, special teams is among the worst in the country,
And the play calling is what I would
Expect from my 7 year old son….**** Billy Bob . I hope the good for nothing bastard rots in hell

Players are usually smart enough to spit on someone in the pileup, Evidently our guy wanted to do it in plain view of the officials. And in no way do I condone spitting on someone under any circumstance.

Stop being a pussy.
