I really doubt it's BEFORE Ugly.i dont think he makes it that far. typically a mid season axe happens at the start of a bye week so the interim has some extra time to prepare. That would be after KY and rolling into uga in 2 weeks time. not even sure he makes it to KY but if he does, i expect the axe to fall that sunday morning. I'll be dressed in my sunday best for it!
I doubt he survives two days after Ugly.

Well, 8 wins against our schedule gives staff a lot to talk about with recruits. If 2 of the 8 happen to be scUM and fsu, all the better. I truly dislike Napier. I think he's soft, incoherent and lacks football IQ. He struggles in press conferences to convey anything concrete and meaningful. Imagine how his team and staff feel? But only if I knew our AD had a true winning coach, a guy that doesn't need an all-world roster to compete and win, I would be just fine with Napier failing and being fired this season. But I can't bet on that so hoping we win 8 games, even if it turns out that's our ceiling with Belly.

Can be done. Don't know if Bellsy can do it. But I agree, a winning coach would get close to that. C'mon Napier, be a Deboer.

I think Stricklin is wishing Napier could have built a really good roster instead of MOTR SEC roster. I don't believe Stricklin wants to fire Napier or wants to have to. Even if Napier poops on himself, the team, the fans, do we really want Stricklin conducting the hiring process?

This is an impossible schedule for a moron like biLLLLLLLy, yes, but this isnt a terrible schedule. Hell, September is full of what should be creampuffs for a competent UF coach.
We have some teams that look tough on the schedule, like ATM and LSU who look more scary than they are. Tinerc is still mid. Kentucky is terrible and lucky to score 20 vs any decent team. Cowbell and ATM have new coaches and are mess like us. Mario and Miami are a wreck. Georgia and Texas are the only teams on this list that have their **** together. Not sure about Ole Miss as Kiffy is a wildcard but I suspect he comes ready for UF from all the insults thru the years. FSU is basically unobtainable by biLLLLLLLy, but Greg Knox could do it.

Yeah, I cant even imagine all the positive convos in a kids living room that will start off with, "I just won 8 games which is my best season ever at Florida!"

Naturally.
It's why I know you'll agree with me saying that if Napier wanted the benefit of the doubt, he should have found a way to win 9 games in one of his first two seasons when the schedule was easier.
It's not like it was impossible to find a way to win when you had the ball in FG range and just needed a first down to win; or failing in that, find a way to stop a team on 4th and 17. Or find a way to beat a 3 win team at home; or beating a team playing a backup QB that's rattled on their first start and we're up 12-0.
Do those things and people give you the benefit of the doubt that you know what you're doing and that you have a future here.

Our top priority for our next coach--no "L's" in his name. The last one, fittingly, was Urban Meyer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Depending on how we look vs Miami, should we win, UF will be undefeated going into the UGA game, lose all of them in November but close out the year with a win vs FSU.
8-4 baby!

On the fence with Napier if he wins 8 games next year, a really big if. He probably stays at least another year.
Is his up side 8-9 wins a year? If that’s it I would just as soon see him a long gone Gator.
Hope he wins big here but he’s running out of time.

Ox gets reduced costs on prostitutes by 1.) buying in bulk, and 2.) using non-native born females.

Don't act like I haven't said this exact same thing before or that you haven't already heard it AND downvoted it before. No need to pile on Law Donk, just sit back in your piss and vinegar outlook and let the games play out. We'll see where we're at after the Miami game and I'll readjust at that point but right now, this is where I'm at.

Here’s the worst part of hiring this moron. This fuchsing retard inherited a premier program who opened their checkbook for a comically large support staff, gave him upgraded facilities in the most fertile state in the country going into the easiest time in history to make the college football playoffs. It was set up perfectly for him where all he had to do was get his team in the top 12 by year 3 and he would get in the playoffs, get an extension, a huge raise, etc. All he really needed to do was hire competent coordinators and recruiters and keep his incompetence in check by taking a game day hands off approach. But the guy is so stupid, he’s oblivious to his own incompetence.
The last 3 shtheads we fired all had teams in the top 12 for Fuchs sake. But this dumbass has even the HBC hoping out load that he might with a lot of luck be able to eke out an 8 win season and meaningless bowl game by year 3. Odds are the sunbelt ahole lucks into 7 wins just to fuk us over and is retained for showing improvement and having us “close”.

No, what was comical was our prior "stuck int he 70s" support staff. The current support staff is normal P5. I guess it seems large to Gators who have been getting by with 2 GAs, 2 QAs and 2-3 recruiting specialists and letting Fooley stick the rest of the 150 million revenue in his mattress.
Of course, the staff should have been filled with competent people, not a bunch of Sunbelters GAs (including a Sunbelt GA pretending to be a DCs).
However, the support staff size will stay when Cajun Taggart gets fired. Even now it is half the size of what Bama, Ugly, OSU, and LSU have and most of them hire real former P5 coaches typically to fill the support spots. Hopefully we too will start buying up these former coaches and having real talent behind the scenes.
As it is, the novice support staff and either incompetent or inexperienced coordinators simply can't make half time adjustments much less in game adjustments. That's why you see us come out of the gates and score once or twice (good game planning) but not score much after that. We are basically dead in 2nd and 3rd quarter. This shows lack of ability to adjust. Only competent coordinator hires could fix this, but we deferred choosing to let BiLLLLLLLy go down with the ship. His choice I guess.
Butters was the same, start pretty well and dead after we run out of the scripted plays.
Mullenz was the opposite, too lazy to watch gamefilm and game plan, come out dead, he is actually capable of adjusting, so we did better there after.
It has been a pick your poison of incompetent coaching staffs.
