    BN has the third worst winning percentage (.423) as a head coach in the history of UF Football...not including interim coaches. Only Raymond Wolf at (.359) from 1946-49 and Josh Cody (.419) from 1936-39 are worse. If he finishes out this year, he may end up being the worst coach in the history of UF. Again, not including interim coaches...BN is the only coach in UF history not to have had at least one season at .500 or better in their career and my guess is that will remain the case after this year as well. To put in perspective...our last 3 coaches that were fired.... Dan Mullen would have to lose 32 straight games, Mac would have to lose 19 straight, and Champ would have to lose 18 straight to have a worse winning percentage than BN at UF.

    It has to be long so he can get down to the basement. Oh wait… that’s us, not him.

    I don’t think anyone out there believes Billy Napier is the right coach going forward. Only Stricklin thinks it and it’s due to self-preservation.

    There is more than enough evidence to cut them both loose. Problem is we don’t have someone in charge (prez) who will.

    Will Fuchs cut both Billy and Scott S loose in one fell swop and start over with both Football coach and Athletic Director?

    Not really. Saturday was the first time I felt he should have his legs under him with no excuses. Losing wasn’t the problem. He completely shit the bed. Then he wants to talk shit. This guy is detached.

    There’s the folks that decide if a guy is president or not and surely wheels are turning. You can’t believe the UF Illuminati aren’t freaking out about now. Nobody believes in this anymore.

    He’s just filling in. Can’t blame him if he doesn’t touch this situation.

    We are in the era of fast turnarounds. If he didn’t realize his seat was super hot given he’s been much much much worse than any other coach hired around him then he was delusional.

    He should know. If they kicked a fg and beat, no big deal. We looked like a good team trading blows and came up on the short end. Other than Montrell getting loose, we had almost nothing with six months to prepare. He should be apologizing for sucking complete ass at his job and give the money back to buy a few more needed players.

    Look at the fundamentals: blocking, tackling, execution, discipline, scheming, making adjustments etc... night and day on Saturday.

    Those two coaches both had a 3 year career here before the plug was pulled. Coincidence??

    I might even wager that he knows his fate right now... only it's a secret to us. When you have all off season to implement something (anything) new schematically wise, or even just a few wrinkles, but he does nothing instead?


    Process- A generic term for doing the same old failed BS over and over again, and making sure to never invent or create anything new or inventive ever again in your entire football life.
