It's time to move on

[oxrageous]

We don't need a guy named Fish, or Bell or some other guy who the moon and stars lined up for a year and will be outta a job by 2026 like the west coast guys mentioned in here.....ONE CALL...AND YOU DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER....

TWENTY FIVE MILLION A YEAR. That's how you get a guy.

 

[maheo30]

He's getting fired. Everyone knows it but our AD. The question is will he be getting fired now or 3-4 games into next season?

 

[URGatorBait]

I don't want Napier fired.


Until there is another AD in place.

That would still be cheaper than throwing untold millions at 4-5 failures.

 

[Gator CPA]

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

Very true and sad at the same time!

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

Successful P5 coach who has won their conference with Florida ties.

Not complicated.

Sounds like you want us to make a play for Day. I wouldn't be opposed to that.

 

[AnObfuscator]

Throw the bank at Day and see what happens. The Bucknuts want him gone because he’s lost 3 straight to the booger eater. What’s the worst that could happen? We get embarrassed?

Seriously. He even has ties to Florida (sort of).

Florida ties?

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

Florida ties?

He recruits our state pretty well. Isn't that what was meant, or are we talking alum here?

 

[Gatorbait25]

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.

Where is Darry? Where is NoTeNg?

I think that would be worth Jimbo $$$$. The offense and recruiting would instantly be better.

@URGatorBait .

TWENTY FIVE MILLION A YEAR. That's how you get a guy.

Done

$2M base
$1M for each SEC win
$5M for SECC
$10M for NC

of course, it's also
($1M) for each SEC loss
($2M) for a loss to the Leghumpers

 

[t-gator]

Florida ties?

He was like a ga or something when urbs was here.

 

[t-gator]

For the record, if we think there's even a hint of uncertainty with Ryan Day and OSU, we'd be idiots to not blowing his phone up

Why wait for a hint of uncertainty? Ask him to name his price, go to the boosters and say "we can get Ryan Day if you cough up X million dollars", and then we get our coach.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Haven't you guys learned, you can't poach a high caliber coach from another P5 university. It's just not proper nor civilized.

 

[Swamped Gator]

As bad as Billy has been, we should have beat Utah, Mizz, and Arky. We could have and probably should have beat FSU. With a reasonably disciplined team all of those games are wins this year. Mullen absolutely left a talent gap for Billy, but it’s hard to think a decent coach wouldn’t have gone 9-3 this year.

Despite our problems, we could have had a very solid year with just a few tweaks:

-Solid OC
-Top 50 defense (we didn’t need to be world beaters on defense this year)
-Basic tackling
-Special teams that isn’t a disaster
-Decent o-line play
-Disciplined players

None of those things are too much to ask with this roster and all of them are absolutely within reach with a mid-tier coach. We don’t even have a mid tier coach..

I just don’t see how Billy improves next year with an absolutely brutal schedule. It’s hard to envision a solid year next year. I really want Billy to work out. I just don’t see a path to success. Maybe, and it’s a big maybe he can turn the corner with Major staff changes. I just don’t see it.

 

[Homer J]

Basic tackling and decent O-Line play should be at the top. That would have added more wins the last few years, had we corrected or recruited for those.

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Need Stricklin to have ZERO to do with the next hire, ala Bernie with Foley.

Along with the major staff change, UF needs to get 4-5 very solid OL transfers. With exception of Barber and Waites, the returners are weak, slow and unatheletic. Then the Gators might have decent OL play.
