    Bottom left. CFTTN= college football trash talk network or something. It's a bs page. Some of their stuff is funny even if low brow but their comment sections are full of sports loser stuff. I followed it for one season a few years back then got out.

    Even Nick was tired of Kirby’s smug mug.

    Not folklore. Saban said it himself. Now whether he meant it when he said it, is another story. Knowing Saban, its all truth.

    Again, let Billy go to Bama and watch him take DJ, LJ, EW3, and everyone with a pulse with him to Bama, while Stricklin scrambles and hires some FCS HC that's never been in the power 5. Then we get to watch this board meltdown when we're 0-12 crying about the HC.... AGAIN....

    The problem with your logic is that Stricklin will not be hiring the NEXT head football coach.

    I was going to say that but that's been our MO for a decade. I personally think SS should go before Billy. Billy hasn't been perfect but good God Mullen left this team in literal shambles.

    I don’t think Napier will survive the original seven year contract; I think he will be here at the start of 25 but not in order to keep certain players from the portal… SS has attached his star to Billie’s so as he is show the door out SS will follow.

    You could be right, & it'll be the loud idiotic voices of our "fans" that run him off. And then what's the plan? What AD will want to come to UF? Then what HC with an IQ above room temperature would be willing to come to a program that won't support him? Florida will make UT & Miami look like competent programs when it comes to HC's. If we run off Billy prematurely the football program will definitely officially be dead imho.

    Aight, let's fire him & kill off FL football for good and run off all the young talent he's brought in. Genius I tell you, absolutely genius.

    Did firing Zook run off all of the young talent he had brought in?

    So if a coach isn’t performing we should keep someone who will continue our streak of losing seasons in order to preserve our reputation? Hmmmmm, seems logical.
