You think we can win a title in less than that? :lol:
Yeah. For starters, a competent coach should be able to beat garbage like Missouri and SC next year.

A competent coach lands a balanced and better class in 2023 and plugs some gaps through the portal. At that point the two-deep in 2023 should be about 75% recruited by the new guys. And didn't this year's team have a talent composite of 7? That feels absurd, but a competent coach doesn't lose six games with a top 10 roster.

A competent coach should be able to build a roster in that should be favored in all but 2 or 3 games in year 2 and build from there. Your boy Napier did exactly that in year 2, and so did most of our targets.

I think Napier will be great here, the issue is competing in the SEC with the programs that are way ahead of us, such as Bama and UGA. Will take some time.

So, if the median age of the board is 55, you expect everyone over that age to die in 7 years. Thanks for the blessing.

I feel like we’ve got the natives situation under control, but typhoid, TB, dysentery, lack of clean water. All a real concern.

A top 5, top 3 class with a few difference-makers is a great panacea. I think Smart is still a questionable in-game manager and that can be exploited if the talent gap is closed... and if the new coach doesn't do gomer stuff like intentionally taking safeties from midfield while up five. Stuff like that.

If he can get a staff to recruit the hell out of Florida AND get somebody to call an offense that moves the ball down the field, he may end up being a good hire. I still want a "splashier" hire to tear up recruiting and change perception, but if he can do those things, I'm in. But I just can't watch his press conferences at normal speed. It's painful.

Welp, the thing about message boards, you can pretty much take all posts at face value without sarcasm or hyperbole. As sofla would say, that's not what this place is about... never has been.

Napier has given LSU til Sunday. He will either be announced to LSU then or UF Monday
I think the LSU boosters are demanding a whale coach and Napier isn't it.

Shoot the way things are shaking out , we’ll be lucky to get Napier

Worst case scenario imaginable. We don’t close, he goes to Lsu, Cristobal trolls us, LK to miami and we’re left in the C grade leftovers aisle.

Plus my bar and pop up adds for the next year are all Uzbekistan related.
