While I agree Mullen left us in rough-ish shape, we need to realize we still had top 25 talent and a 1st round QB (side note - if we think he couldn’t develop AR but he’s going to develop Mertz for next year…..start Rashada).
I really like Napier as a person and think he can still be very successful here, but being honest with where we’re currently at, we should all agree it’s not good enough right now. We shouldn’t treat UF coaches making $6-7M with kiddie gloves, UF is a place you should be able to win at immediately with all the talent you’re surrounded with and especially now with the transfer portal. This shouldn’t be a learn-on-the-job program, and our admin needs to stop acting like it is in both football and basketball.
Idk if the plan is to not emphasize winning for first couple years while the foundation and culture is being built, but what I can tell you is going 0-2 vs UGA, UT, LSU and FSU will not sit well with Gator Nation. Here’s to hoping Billy gets us turned around sooner rather than later
Oh, and I do realize the admin is a large part of the issue too. If we rid ourselves of Foley and Strick, I’ll allow Nape more time to get this turned around
