I'm going to try my best not to hold the first year against him in any way. Hell, Meyer struggled in his first season, so did Saban who lost to Louisiana Monroe at Bryant Denny for Christs sake. The first year is all about building, not the record.
McElwain also proved that UF does not naturally recruit.
yeah, looking at the schedule and roster. Anything over .500 is gravy.
What?Anything less than second in the SEC East and we will have much to worry about this guy. I fear he will be like Zook who inherited Spurrier's program and acted like he needed a total rebuild. UF is not Spurrier's program today, but it has a supremely talented QB prospect, some highly rated RBs, plenty of receiver, decent OL and DL returners and prospects, one highly promising CB and a promising S coming back. What did UF in this year was errors particularly special teams errors and going into a shell on defense.
Guy has only been on the payroll about 4 hours and he's already reaching out to recruit. And probably has to do with more on availability and location with his busy schedule for this week. Probably will do more recruiting this week than Mullett did over half this football season. Go and recruit.
I like our RBs but we lose at least 4 off a weak OL. hard to run with no OL.Anything less than second in the SEC East and we will have much to worry about this guy.

Insti is famous for not knowing shtt about the roster, looking at it, just reading names, including walkons etc, and saying we should be fine at OL or whatever because we have three 300 lb walkons that also play tuba in the band.What?
We DO need a total rebuild. Zook taking over in 2001 is NOTHING like Napier taking over now. The cupboard is bare.
Sober up.
Not saying he’s going to blow the doors off the place in year 1, but I think Napier could do pretty well the first year. I think he’ll start Richardson and build a much improved staff.
SEC East is soooooooo much easier now.Demanding he go 10-2 in his first season is horse chit. Neither Meyer nor Spurrier did that. Mullen and Butters did.
SEC East is soooooooo much easier now.
Wife's from Lafayette. Family has season tickets. Been to a few of Napier's games and witnessed his O-style. Spurrier was obviously not involved with this hire. On the positive side, You'll have plenty of time for beer runs while the Gators are running the ball. Nothing against Napier; just not my kind of football. Hope it works. GO Gators!
Great QB play can win a lot of games alone. If AR plays lights out, this Gator team could easily make some noise next year.
