Good article - long but worth the read.

Explains why UF can’t and shouldn’t move on from Napier. But also chronicles what Billy has done poorly and must fix.


Honestly the first paragraph just further proves how over his head Stricklin is with this job, and how much the Chip Kelly pursuit affected the recruitment and hiring of Mullen's replacement.

You can't honestly expect Billy to be a miracle worker and make us a playoff contender overnight. He came into a situation that was the worst in the country. No other football program was even close to as bad as the situation Florida football was in. Nobody have ever taken a program to a championship and won it in year 2, nobody. And with NIL and the transfer portal to take into account, it's the hardest it's ever been.

Are you serious? We are playing the most freshman in the country! Do you not remember 2007? We played a ton of true freshman and sophmores on offense and defense and then what happened in 08?
Y'all lost to unranked Ole Miss? :dunno:

No all you guys talk about is beating Georgia and competing for championships. Georgia was irrelevant for 40 years and you didn't ever see their fans get mad. They just waited patiently for their time. That's all you can do as a fan. No reason to get mad. You all should just be happy we have a football team and get to watch us play on Saturdays
I've seen Georgia fans get plenty angry when Mark Richt was Richting all those years. Maybe you were watching Georgia State?

Ok so in summary. Despite billy being a terrible on the field coach, we should eat another bad season because of the optics?

Which is a worse look? Another losing season that consists of us being a shcit show on the field. Or us paying a guy 32 million dollars not to coach here anymore?

Meyer chimes in. Is he saying BN needs to beat the girls school to retake momentum? (he gets it)

I think we should split the difference and pay me $16M to never coach there. :lol:

Fans, Like me, Just want something to feel better about.
Going in to next season with this same poorly coached team, is damned depressing.

The only hope out there right now, is a coaching change. A coaching change to a new coach all full of "We're going to build this the right way"...and "We're going to build young men out of these guys"...and don't ever forget......."This place is special, and we are going to compete for Championships!!"

All the excitement for something new, something bigger, better and the Gators back in the top 5.
It helps with the doldrums but alas, it's not real. It's not going to happen and, people like me, need to accept the facts.

We are a laughing stock, a joke, a complete disaster, a disgusting display of poorly coached kids that are soft.
We just flat out aren't competitive.
Honestly, I have no idea how we beat Vandy, Much less Tennessee.

Now, with the fact, we are getting next year what we have now, it's just terribly depressing and, there is no hope for the future.
HUGELY SAD.

He knows what it means and takes to be a winner. Not sure Billy gets it. Really, it would be hard to make the case he does. Who on Billy's staff would be hired by a top ranked school? Also, it's not that enlightening what Meyer said. We mere fans knew that already.

It's still good to hear it from a coach that won 2 NCs at Florida. 13 years of purgatory has many fans doubting themselves.
