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.

Please explain to me in detail how we haven't improved this year?
No. I'm not going to explain anything to you. You're watching the same poop show the rest of us are watching. There is no noticeable improvement from last season. Napier is setting new lows. Sad, but true.

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?
....we had a coach that had just won a championship and some scrub named tim tebow

FWIW, I think the guys this staff let transfer out has been critical. Gives them the opportunity to "we're playing the most true FR in the country" every post game.

Yeah, good thing we showed guys like Tyrone Hopper and other starting olinemen the door. Can you imagine how much worse we'd be with them still contributing? The horror...

Oh please. Urban Liar was gifted that championship by Ron Zook, that was his team. Just like Les Miles won thanks to what Saban left him.
I actually kinda agree with this. If it wasn't for zook, Meyer probably has a losing season in year 1, his bump class sucks and he's struggling to get to 7 wins in year 2. Zook was underrated for sure.

We just need to try to stick fingers in the holes of this leaky boat and get thru NSD. Napier is following the norvell model and hell probably get us 9 wins next year followed by a CFB berth and undefeated season in year 4.

For starters at QB, Mertz has played light years better than AR did at any point last year. We've actually won games because of Mertz and instead of losing games for us like AR did. Our WRs and TEs are better as a whole this year. Ricky, Wilson, boardingham, and etc have performed better and are a more talented group than we had last year. And the majority are all Billy's guys. Yes our O line is struggling but you can't blame Billy for that, we had guys transfer out for different non related football reasons and he made the best out of our bad situation.

Defense is solid up front and we added depth on the d line and LB through the portal. You guys give Marshall a hard time but he rarely gets thrown at because he is playing so well. The rest of our secondary is mostly young guys learing on the job. And shemar went down at LB but he was playing lights out before that. The proof is there, you just REFUSE to see it because we haven't won every game and beat everybody by 20 points. Get real

Well, if you have any information proving they tried to convince our departure to stay, I'm all ears. But during their first recruiting cycle, players that left indicated they had not heard from their would-be new staff. I don't believe for a minute that Antwaun Powell who has a team leading 9 sacks at Va Tech was really asked not to leave. No, I mean, he was not implored to stay at UF by this staff. Now he has at least 3 times as many sacks as the next closest DL at Va Tech. How many snaps did he get at UF last season? I could look it up but I suspect he did not get much PT last season.

We had to flush all the mullen trash so we could be better this year
