What disturbs me is….

In his opening presser he said UF’s trademark would be their physicality.

The results are in

 

Year 3 and our best case is having a true freshman QB bail us out of a team wide catastrophe...great job Billy!

 

Number four, you said you watch on your screen. You should’ve been there at the game and watched Desmond and Cam. It looked like their feet were glued to the freaking ground.

 

I'm neither disturbed nor surprised. It's been obvious for two years that BN is an uninspiring BS-artist: "process, evaluate, culture, love-that-guy, package of plays, etc-etc, blah-blah, woof- woof, right."

Those who so fervently hoped that the emperor wasn't naked are now up in arms. Me? I'm just apathetic. What currently is, is what always was.

 

LT I share your sentiment. Sadly, my Saturdays are free to do other things and wait for basketball. IMO SS and BN have ruined UF football. It is clear as day BN was a colossal mistake. The only hope most have is not if but when he will be let go.

Listen, I have no doubt he is giving it his all, he wants to win, but the fact is he is not a big league coach period. I have to think SS knows this but is conflicted for to fire him means he has made a huge mistake and sets himself up on the chopping block but if he allows him to stay empty seats will follow. I've gone from anger to simply apathy. This is not Florida football.

 

To your second point, we are known for loosing, special teams follies, and bad defense. That is our identity under Napier.

 

The biggest mistake was not clipping his wings last year. In coaching after two years you have not improved one positions performance on the entire team do you really need to see more? Losing recruits...well that happens every time you change coaches unless you make that superstar hire. I couldn't see a reason to bring him back after losing 5 in a row to end the season but we are where we are...The only way we right this ship to Gator standards quickly is opening the checkbook, canning everyone who can't coach (there are a bunch) and making the offer so sweet we get a big name like Urban or Kiffin. The season...uggh...its going to be very very ugly.

 

What I saw Saturday was exactly what I expected to see in many ways. I expected to see a faster, stronger version of the same set of problems with slightly better defense and we didn’t even get that. More than anything I was afraid that the team would be just improved enough to continue to slog along in this lifeless, shambolic, disorganized pergatory that would enable the powers that be to give good old, likeable Sunbelt Billy another year.

 

Stupid defensive penalties for no reason.

 

Yeah, I didn't see any overall improvement in Ron Robert's defense. None whatsoever. Overall that is, but the linebackers had moments, better at tackling... all the rest, not so much.

 

Absolutely. The number of snaps Moten and Wingo got were astounding. Pup can rest in the offseason.

We have 1 OT, so all we can do is try to scheme around it. Might as well get Kearney training at OT, as he is only guy with explosiveness on the OL. The musical chairs of cycling in OL was laughable.

We had 2 players in the secondary, and now that's down to one with the injury. There is no fixing that, and the portal transfers won't help.

DT would stalemate Mario's favored running between guards and then the rb and Miami's OL would push the pile ahead for 5 yards or the rb would bounce out for a gain. No aggression or gang tackling.

 

What disturbs me is that it will get worse still before it gets better.

 

I have said before the great coaches always show big improvement in year two. Saban and Kirby did. There are a dozen others like that. When this team crashed and burned last year I was hoping I was wrong this time. Turns out I wasn't.

 

Let's look at the bright side. We should look like champs against Samford, which UF is paying $525,000 to come make us look good. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Samford double-crosses us and makes us look bad. I mean, how hard is that?

 

Add #2 and #3 here and you get #5. I expected us to at least be competitive for the first half, but Napier’s team still has no identity, coaches don’t seem to have any answers, and it looks nearly certain that we’ll be conducting our 5th pass the hat/collect the millions + head coaching search since 2010.

 

Thinking we get a sloppy win with a much closer margin than we are comfortable with.

 

I said point #1 in another thread and that was the most mind blowing considering I saw multiple opportunities where he could have come in on short yardage but again what are we doing or trying to do who really knows at this point.

 

Any AD has to get clearance to fire our coach. Somebody has to get the checks ready.

 

What disturbs me is somebody thought we needed another thread for this.
