How do you stay optimistic when half of Billy’s first recruiting class is hitting the portal and our best players are leaving? I don’t see how Billy survives next year. It’s going to be ugly.
If I may opine (well duh, what else is there?), this is not damning to me. But, the "slow play" by Napier to do what is necessary in this era of major college football seems too lacking. We are either going to see quite a nice haul of recruits and assistants or this thing gets blown up sometime next year, even during the season. And as I have already posted, Stricklin WILL be going first or simultaneously.
At least the team looks well coached. /s Football staffing keeping lots of people employed with the largest staff in UF history. There's your silver lining.
Writing is on the wall, sadly. I didn't know about pyburn or James or smack until de latorre's tweet. Not good... I can't read. Pyburn and Smack not in portal.
I have been a steadfast supporter of CBN and willing to be patient. He seems like a genuinely good dude and supportive of his players. However, this consistent lack of urgency (naming coaches) unwillingness to acknowledge deficiencies in play calling is concerning. Some transfer portal guys you can just say “oh well it’s college football today” but this one to me is quite telling. I rooting like crazy for CBN to workout but he HAS to prove it next year or he better be shown the door.
As much as it hurts to lose a really special RB, it hurts Napiers and UF’s football program image much, much worse. Meda, Fans, and potential players see the chaos and poor execution on the field and now can only conclude that it permeates every part of the football program. I'm sure from an outsiders perspective it appears that UF’s football program in complete disarray.
Thanks to the portal, solid recruiting doesn’t mean as much. If you’re not providing the W’s, players are gonna bail.
Doesn’t mean much if we aren’t win aren’t winning games. Does anybody here actually believe we will even sniff 8 wins next year?
Let me simplify this for you. College football, as we knew and loved it died over two years ago. It’s just running forward on momentum now.
