That’s not what you said. You said lower expectations and I don’t think expectations can be any lower for the program. Maybe up your expectations from being almost the worst sec team. We can meet in the middle at 7 or 8 wins consistently. Personally don’t care if Billy makes it or gets fired, I’m for UF and not an individual player or coach.
Everyone has different expectations. I’m pretty sure most on here are for UF and not just a player or coach.
This has been an unusually tame thread for this forum. Is saying losing seasons will get coaches fired considered being negative? Sounds to me like a statement of fact. Oh no, now you've made me do it. I just said the quiet part out loud and cost us another recruit. Dang, my bad guys.
oh well, guess the new coach would just need to find a transfer like Bo Nix, Michael Penix, Hendon Hooker, Justin Fields, Joe Burrow, Quinn Ewers, Caleb Williams, Jaydon Daniels... Holding a program hostage over a single player is crazy.
If CBN is let go after 2025, I'm sure you will be here to rant about the new guy when he is hired (unless a Saban clone walks through the door.)
this is ridiculous and total BS - "sports column," suuuure buddy anyone who thinks some random posts on the internet matter more than five straight losses doesn't understand the basic nature of reality - step away from the keyboard and go for a nice walk amigo
UF can't afford a stadium of empty seats either along with poor merchandise sales. Fans already are about to walk. It's hard enough to watch this team on TV let alone to pay high ticket prices and travel expenses.
Dj and others will transfer whether it’s 25, 26, or any year if Napier is gone. Thats the nature of the business. You absolutely 100% cannot keep a coach bc you are scared of losing a player A new coach will be able to recruit better (and get a bump class) vs one on a mega hot seat Either way whether Billy gets 2025 is 100% up to how Billy performs in 2024. Nothing we say here or super popular places like X/Reddit will make a difference.
No recruit is making any decisions off of Gator Country. We aren’t that important. They are spending far far far more time on actual social media platforms. I doubt most recruits realize this site even exists. Either way we are a top academic institution. Recruits shouldn’t have to read a forum to realize a coach with 2 straight losing seasons at the University of Florida is swimming in murky waters. It seems pretty damn self evident.
Let’s see…. Did firing Zook keep Urbs from coming? Did firing Willie Novell from taking the job. Did firing Shula keep Saban from taking the job. Hell did firing Landry keep Jimmie from taking the job? I’ll wait… Coaches get fired more than not. It’s the nature of their business.
Was Zook fired after being left a total dumpster fire against a top 2/3 SOS where the prior HC refused to recruit? Did Zook open his presser telling Gator Nation that this rebuild is going to be a longer process so please be patient Didn't Zook get a longer leash than our toxic fans are willing to give Billy. Should Michigan have fired JH after his first few season, or Clemson with Dabo, or Georgia with Smart. How many SECC's does Tennessee have running off HC's every 3yrs? Yup, let's copy the Tennessee model. Smfh
