    It’s not about if anymore, it’s just about when now, Billy Napier is done at UF, imho. There has been a lot of chatter for 2 weeks about this happening. My guess, it’s tomorrow, that’s what I hear, no reason to wait. Plenty more to follow. Thoughts?

    Tough to say. Have the players quit on him like they did with Mullen? You fire him and who is the interim HBC? ChatGPT?

    I think Gator Nation will be underwhelmed with who we end up with.

    I say get rid of his smug ass. It doesn’t matter we’re going to be 1-11 with or without him.

    No choice at this point. 1-2 with a lot harder games to come. We are realistically looking at 1-11 and a complete loss of the recruiting class and maybe Lagway. A move must be made and soon. We are on the brink.

    I tried, I really did. I'm done with you coach. We have regressed under your leadership.

    I find the flavor profile of scotch to be undrinkable.

    Bourbon all the way. Game is over, time for a nice pour of something expensive.

    Keep paying coaches to fail. Working wonders so far.

    To each his own. Bourbon is good but a little too sweet.

    Unless Spurrier is willing to be interim, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to do it now. But he should be gone by the end of the season and weshould go all in for Kiffin

    The team is soft, continues to commit stupid penalties, while Billy is motionless on the sidelines. I don’t care who we hire, it will be better than him. And Scott Stricklin can go too.

    Ron Roberts. He’s the most experienced on the staff.

    This is the fear. But things move on and The Nation has.

    Stricklin needs to go first so he doesn’t get to hire the next guy.

    Golden shows promise but has a single one of his hires won a championship?

    I don't think you will be able to tell if they quit on him as he never really made an impact. Except financially, it's almost like we have no coach.

    I've been saying the same since week 2 of last season. He's simply not able to coach at this level
