Local Media starting to turn on Napier: Spurrier speaks

To me it’s disturbing that the guy on the right hired that guy on the left to be asst WR coach.

What the hell can he show Ricky Pearsall about running routes?

Guy on the left looks like he never played a down of football in his life.

Those that can't do, teach. Those that can't teach, evaluate. Those that can evaluate become lawyers. Or DEI professionals.

How could my post be interpreted as anything other than a failed athletic department?

However, I disagree that it's Stricklin's last. His job has never been safer. It's safer now than before he even hired Napier, and Golden's recent success is also a feather in his cap and solidifies his position. He's going nowhere unless he wants to.

I gathered from your post that we as fans thought we could improve and didn’t and that you were taking that approach. My apologies. You’d be justified in suspecting hard drugs, but I can assure you I was only drinking wine. I guess it’s possible the cork was laced with fentanyl though. Thanks Joe Biden.

At this point it's a minor miracle that the Gators have any fans left.

C.mon man! Stricklin looks like he’d be a beast on the Pickleball court.

Strikes as a squash douche

You a cork soaker?

No that’s what fans and/or alum do. Times are great, times suck, but you never waiver entirely.

Also you and @GatorJ are out of your minds on Stricklin’s job security. Even national media has said no AD gets a third try after bombing on the first two. And you can’t keep number 2 when Mr UF football just announced to the world that he isn’t cut out to run a snow cone stand. There are mid level guys in Hamas that have a better job outlook than SS.

Of course, I don’t like to get personal or judgy, so I’ll just assume you both got a little too close to some model airplane glue.

I hope you’re right but our new prez has yet to utter a word about the state of Gator football, so who knows what he’s thinking?

He has to handle a lot of other pressing issues first. But it’s coming. And I don’t mean a decision is made already. If by some miracle BN pulls it off, they both could be fine. My argument is predicated on what appears to be a disaster waiting for us this fall. The public spectacle and fallout is too much for either to overcome, and even money will dry up.

I think Striklin pissed off a lot of donors with bait and switch, slow play on the football stand alone.

I would bet the "stadium refurbished" fundraising isn't going well.

I'm not a big $ donor but I've made some donations over the years.

Not one more Penney from me unless and until they gut the AA office.

I don’t know about squash beyond crook-neck and zucchini but I agree about the douche part

Disagree completely. UF's focus is not football. At least not anymore. Not only do they not blame Stricklin for hiring Napier (it was a justifiable hire), Golden is taking off and they consider him a fundraising genius.

The UF brass isn't Bama. They aren't Georgia. Hell, they aren't even Tennessee. They don't give two sh!ts about Florida football winning anything. They care about making UF an Ivy League school. Those praying Sasse swoops in to save the program are going to be sorely disappointed. Football isn't even on the first page on his to-do list.

I suppose it's possible that they bring in more people to help Stricklin in the next HC search, but the idea of him actually getting fired over Billy Napier is laughable.

I agree Ox, though it makes me very sad. Along the same lines of Vito when they killed Sonny…

I’ll give you that UF isn’t those programs, at least right now. But neither are 150+ other schools who fire coaches all the time, and ADs who’ve put them in that predicament. You make it seems as if this doesn’t happen annually somewhere. Chip Kelly knew he was getting fired at UCLA. McElwain is on the hot seat at Central Michigan(they have one there too apparently). He will not make another football hire. They may find him some place inside the building where he can have a role, but as far as being a full blown AD, that is over assuming BN doesn’t magically learn how to coach, or count.

He has some other useless money sucks to take care of first. He will get there.

FIFY, you fair weather fuk!!!

People probably often wonder...

"Just how does Detroitgator do it? How, on a day like today, after putting on his "rally hat" in the chat box not once, but TWICE during the baseball loss to Miami, and just hours after a stinging, schitty loss in basketball, can he be not only the first to respond, but post THIS guy in a thread for a basketball game NEXT WEEK?

I'll tell you how... like today... and for ALL our sports... I f'ng cheer until the last out, until the last second (ish, allegedly sometimes until at least the 3rd quarter!) is gone! Then, I stand quietly in silence for a second, take a deep breath, and scream one very loud, very sharp: "FUK!!!!" And I let it go... that's it... on to the gymnastics and baseball game tomorrow to do it all again... and again... and fukkin' AGAIN!!!

So, be Mr. Dad Bod bald guy with glasses... he is us, I am him (with hair and glasses only for seein' schit far away)!!!









(but yes, in full disclosure, every once in awhile, I'm this guy...)

Maybe you haven't noticed, but he's not big on talking and uttering words 'n schit... like yesterday, where at the end of the day, he launched a memo saying, "You're all fukkin' fired!"
