But no one wants "IT". It makes one dumb and is highly contagious.

No Lame Kitten (oh what a perfect nickname for him) for UF. Lame needs to cheat too badly! Just ask his former wife!

A person would have to be a total idiot to cheat on Layla!

And Lame is a total idiot.

He's rich and she has a fish mouth. Decent but not special.

You've had 27 posts so far to get on the right side of a position and have yet to do so. Plus a few spats with others. It has to be the worst start ever for a poster here since they started keeping records.

Ive been trying really hard to find enough to like this Napier guy. He seems like he is a guy that works hard and wants to build a program versus draw plays in the sand but I just can't get past the butters stank thats on him. He did really good things at UL, but that is UL and going to UF is a HUGE step up. Will he assemble a staff or will he bring his buddies so he is comfortable? Will he continue to be the OC and bring that boring run possession offense with him or will he go get a coordinator that is much more Florida friendly? If he is our guy that Stricklin (Im spelling his name correctly again until he fugs up this search) brings home these are important answers to me.

Ive already pretty much resigned to the fact that no matter who we bring in, next year is going to suck because of the hole muLLLLLLen put us in so Im prepared for that. But I just dont know how long I can recognize that fact if we got butters jr.

Seeing Threat and Bait melt down after the Napier hire is going to be entertaining as hell.

:dubster:
Not as entertaining as watching the whole site melt down after we hire Tony Elliot.

I am quite proud of my start!

As a great person once said, "See what the majority of people believe and believe the opposite and you will be right almost all the time!"

People are dumb. I counsel them every day and they will hold to the most ridiculous ideations until they die rather than change!

It is called denial and it is part of the human condition. So I always suspect a commonly held opinion.

Not gonna lie I teared up little when I thought that up. It was between sling blade and Lennie Small. I figured sling blade would have more kick. :lol:
Baitn is truly one of our top tier talents.

And make him boring as hell and not a fit for a program that DESPERATELY needs a splash hire right now.
That's true. But I believe the kind of coach that will do well at UF is the kind who recruits at an elite level, wins big games, AND actual championships, on a fairly regular basis. Everything else is window dressing and will be dismissed out of hand in the face of real success on the field. FTR, I'm not actually sold on anybody at this point. But TBH, I'd probably take a chance on Kiffen over anyone else who actually seems to be "available" at the moment - including Napier. If the sky should open up and a great hire came about that nobody saw coming; Bob Stoops, Aranda, Cristobal, Fickle or someone really good from out of left field, that would be cool as well.

You sound like a 12 year old, trying to sound like an adult, but you still post shet that a 12 year old would post.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't get why we'd make fun of Napier. I recognize he is a run-first guy that maybe isn't exactly what we want on offense. But his W/L record is ridiculously good. His worst year(rookie season) he went 7-7. Between that and his reportedly demanding a staff commitment similar to what he saw at Alabama from his suitors last year, he seems to at least get it. Most of these coaches have a southern draw and don't sound particularly bright(because most aren't). But someone that's demanding and meticulous and is putting that into practice with success isn't a bad thing, imo. The comparisons to WM are wrong, imo, in that he has shown at multiple stops that he's not a head coach. He wouldn't be doing what BN is doing presently. In addition, Napier seems like he has an offensive identity and doesn't simply want to kill the clock and win each game 14-10.

Well as someone pointed out his conference recruiting rankings since he has been at UL are

2018: 5
2019: 1
2020: 1
2021: 1

So compared to his competition the recruitniks believe he has the talent. This year he has:

1. Beat South Alabama on the road by 2.
2. Beat Georgia State at home by 4.
3. Arkansas State on the road by 1.
4. Nichols (FCS) at home by by 3.
5. Georgia Southern on the road by 8.

Now there are so wins by big margins on this record this year too, but that is hardly the killer instinct that one would be hoping for in a new UF coach.

BTW, I says a post comparing him to people around him like Saban. This is messing up causality. Saban has 40 guys around him because he has consistently won and lobbied. Saban has not had the run he has because he has 40 guys around him.

According to reports LSU has all but finalized a deal with Lincoln Riley meanwhile we're busy low balling sling blade. Sounds about right.
If I understand you correctly...you are saying that the caption under this picture should say.....
