Spurrier wanted more. Meyer OD'd. The rest weren't up to the task and were not 1st choices.

Napier is making good moves. The biggest surprise could be Callaway's input and perhaps becoming full OC.

 

Seems like yesterday, but it was long ago

 

Wow. Just wow.

 

They aren't buying that K. Jackson has speed.

 

I was referring to his time as OC under Urban, but it is interesting that you cite is genius based on 2 quarters.

 

Just giving you a sample...and it was a 4 quarter ass kicking that he could have run it up to whatever he wanted. Mullen is a stellar play caller no matter what anyones personal feelings are and he had a great feel for the game. Lets not forget how he didnt recruit but managed to take us to 2 new years 6 bowl games and was about 30 seconds from a finals birth with Bama not being to do anything defensively to slow down our operation (seems like 3 lifetimes ago).

 

I read this in August but forgot it quickly with the new season coming up.
Wow- this is so bad. Unbelievably bad.
I know nothing about Xs and Os but it makes me think I could be a major college football coach just by being a decent person and showing the players I care about them.
(Like Ted Lasso- but with college football.)

Grantham and Hevesy- what contemptible and disgusting individuals.
I'm ashamed my great university ever employed them.

 

People don’t understand the toxic situation Billy Napier walked into just 2 seasons ago

 

I was making the point that it’s way different than Meyer taking over for Zook. That’s not a knock on Irwin Meyer in anyway, it’s just completely different circumstances. Napier is basically building a program from the ground up. He may or may not be the person for the job, but he is doing a lot of things right. If this year is catastrophic and he worked to lose his job, the next coach has a much better situation on his hands.

 

I agree completely. Urbs accomplished some great things at UF and brought us 2 of our 3 national championships. But he inherited a loaded roster from Zook — he was not in a situation of having to build a team from scratch like Billy Napier is

EDIT: Urban Meyer never would have taken the job at UF with the roster Billy inherited

 

The record shows that before 2021 (when he gave up) that his ability to scheme an offense was frankly as good as anyone in CFB.
He routinely got his 2 and 3 stars at Miss St to outplay the 5 stars at Bama and other schools.
Then he came here and did it again- except he had 3 and 4 stars on offense.

The 2020 game vs UGA was his masterclass. UGA started out with a 14-0 lead and many other teams would have given up...
We then responded with 38 POINTS IN 2 QUARTERS to take a 38-21 lead at the half.
This was against Kirby's 5 stars and vs a Kirby coached D- yet Mullen took them to the woodshed...
Until Kirby gave the "hit order" and Cena took out Kyle Pitts.
We still won, but we didn't hit on all cylinders...

Again, Mullen's ego and his MANY OTHER shortcomings were his undoing.
No one disputes that and the article from last August goes into tremendous detail.
But as an OC- one of the best ever...The facts are quite clear...

 

Being a great OC, obviously is not qualifications for running a program and he completely sucked

 

2020 was a beautiful thing to watch. On offense.

 

I read he owns a company working with Lowe’s but who knows. I doubt, financially, he has to work at Lowe’s for 18 an hour or whatever. Working WITH Lowe’s makes more sense to me but who knows

 

The UF administration for sure. I’m not sure it’s our demanding fanbase. Saban had to defend his team against Bama fans. Ryan Day almost got ran out of town for not beating Michigan. Dabo getting major heat for his recent lack of success…so any major program with any amount of success will have expectations that may be considered unreasonable.

 

I cited the fanbase because Spurrier mused openly, on camera that ten-win seasons just weren't good enough for Florida fans anymore. He quit shortly thereafter as I recall.

 

Mizell with 97 ACC too.

 

He quit because the PTB wouldn’t back him up on the numerous BS stuff. I don’t think it was the fanbase. Every coach has to manage expectations.

 

AD...
