    I thought the 3 and 1 QB sneak was a terrible call. Should have given it to one of our RB who were getting good yards each carry. We had no push all night why did Napier think that would work. Hate his lack of in game awareness. My concern is how does he get better at that I just don’t see it happening

    I wouldn't be surprised if the fanbase basically checks out if we lose on 8/31 in the Swamp to scUM. The countdown could start way before mid-season.

    We didn’t win any games because of Napier. We won 5 games despite him. But the important thing to remember is how practice went this year

    I agree with the contract comment and the three season.
    We should be showing improvement with better skills and more wins.

    That is a very telling answer. It speaks volumes about Napier’s suitability for the position he currently occupies.

    I really would have appreciated him explaining that, NO, the 5 - 7 record IS NOT
    where we want to be but improvements have been implemented in many areas, especially recruiting and infrastructure, it's a work in progress and Gator Nation will see that reflected on the field.

    Or something to that effect.....

    That is the roof caves in game if UF loses, at home, to a lousy scUM team. That would be back to back loses to both bitter in state rivals and the 6th loss in a row going back to this season. Billy absolutely must win that game, period, imho.

    that’s my issue with his answers. Say things that give the fanbase hope and him some grace with us. I would like to hear something definitive that we WILL fix the things that held us back from being a better this past year. Anything to that affect

    Except he has not improved recruiting. Not yet. This class is still two birds in a bush. The last two were no better than anything Mullen put together.

    And on Signing Day no one would be more pleased than me to say Napier can recruit.

    Noticed what part? The being despised and fired part, or the 76 million neither I, nor my kids, or my grandkids have to do shit the rest of their lives money part?

    Criticize Napier for a lot of things but stop with this lie. Mullens classes were smoke and mirrors and produced next to nothing. Napier has already brought in more talent than Mullen has. If Mullen had the same offensive talent on his last roster that Napier has brought in he would still be coaching here.

    Sadly, Mullen would have gotten much more out of them.
