    The frustrating part is our losses under Napier has basically been the same thing; we get bullied up front. That’s a trend and thats a problem

    Our player ran at the shield wall and jumped in the air while running. It was the right call and a stupid play by a young player.

    The one thing that hit home was, same game plan every week. Everyone knows what is coming.

    Third and long, run! I don’t blame Mertz for the checks, but how about some quick plays with the players moving forward. I think we had one quick play to take advantage of a big cushion

    Nah it's not, anyone who says "the big bull Gators are mad" is making stuff up, Napier, like the coaches before him, will get plenty of time, Florida doesn't fire guys fast.

    dude if you are talking about that Vandy won't beat UF next week, means you weren't around last season when they beat a coach less UF team.

    We get bullied up front because the other teams crowd the lines knowing that Billy is going to try to “establish the run” no matter what. When no adjustments are made, it just compounds the problem

    Hi Bobby, sad realities confront Gator Nation this morning.

    I've been reading fan posts and watching various UF podcasters.

    I break it down as follows:
    Ky kicked UFs ass physically, and the first half looked like an NFL team playing a college team.

    It was embarrassing. Totally dominated the lines of scrimmage.

    Having posted that I'm not advocating any coaching change. I do advocate this staff getting the kids showing up with intensity, playing hard and not committing constant stupid penalties.

    Hope the staff works the teams ass off this week.

    Under no circumstance can Stricklin be involved in picking the replacement if Napier fails.

    Ok thought experiment for you because you seem to be banging the fire Billy drum the loudest.

    That which must be done eventually should be done now. Gators lose next week at home against Vandy. Billy is fired. Who do you hire to fix this program? Because this program is deeply broken right now. We are in serious danger of relegation to Vandy status in the league. Who fixes this mess? SOS or Urban ain’t walking through that door. We aren’t going out and hiring anyone from the power five. We going sun belt again? Gus Malzahn? WHO?

    Many posters here don't get it, isn't just the Kentucky game ( even if that was a big sign) its the many bad signs, too many to post on here, but mentioned by another poster before.
