    I think it is more a lack of experience/growth than a lack of talent. They are talented enough to get into position, but lack the size/strength/experience to do anything when they are in position. We are very young, especially at LB/DB, and they aren’t physically ready to handle SEC play.

    What two point try? There was none. We botched a snap/ hold on an xp that the holder tried to run with so the box score shows a missed 2 point try.

    This. And it is extremely difficult to perform better than your predecessor who was arguably the team's greatest head coach. Richt went 145-51 (.740) at Georgia...

    I wonder if we changed our practice time schedule... or NOT. I would think that is no-brain-er kind of stuff at this level of human psychology and coaching.

    Haven’t you heard? Our standards are way down now. But at least we have a likeable coach.

    We never WENT for 2, there was a bad snap on an xp with no kick attempt which goes down as a failed 2 pt conversion. You keep banging this drum and clearly didn’t even watch the game.

    Not for some of us, it's been painfully obvious.

    Yes but this isn't the NFL yet. Going 10-2 every year but losing to UGA and FSU every year will get you fired after a while. Currently we're going 5-7 and 6-7 and have lost to all our rivals. Plus, beating everyone except UGA and FSU doesn't help when both make the playoffs.

    At this point, I’m just hoping for a upset somehow in the last 3 games.

    Yep, everyone says recruiting, recruiting- that takes years.

    Get portal kids that can play now.
    Make extra points
    11-11 falls on coaching.

    Zook: 23-14 (.622) He didn't coach the bowl game in 2004.
    Florida 2010-23: 106-67 (.613)

    If Zook couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag, what does that say about our coaches from 2010-23?

    You’re right. His success there has not translated. UF is not an easy place to coach. I knew last season Napier wasn’t the guy. The underwhelming job he did working with Anthony Richardson said it all. A QB with Richardson’s skill set should have been in the running for all-SEC with an offensive minded coach. He was literally the best athlete on the field for every single game.

    I don’t think UF can compete in the NIL space with the likes of UGA and Bama. Now throw in OU and Texas. Lol. UF’s priorities have been elsewhere for awhile.
