**Buzz Buzz Buzz** - How did we get here?

All I said was that there was a coach who did it.
There may be more- I have no idea. I dont' follow this stuff that closely outside the Gators.
I didn't say they were equivalent or even compare them.
Agree on your words about Spurrier- so few people know what an amazing high character guy he is- and has shown over and over.

Go back to him turning over the Heisman to his school- the first one to ever do it.
Then about him unretiring his own number, and refusing to let the school paint his number on the stadium wall.
And then walking away from the REdskins and USCe...
It goes on and on. "Harder right over an easier wrong." You said it. Perfectly put.

 

While I gather some here find his internet antics amusing, I am pretty sure that stuff will get him in hot water if he comes to UF. The news media is all over us and blast UF and our coaches for every little thing. His schtick will not play well here.

And there are his past antics, which will undoubtedly come up as well.

Besides, he isn't exactly setting the world on fire this year. His first four wins came against Furman, Middle Tennessee, Wake Forest and Georgia Southern. Hell, Napier could beat them

He then lost 2 of the next 3 SEC games, losing to Kentucky, and LSU, but beating USCe.

His schedule gets tougher and more beatdowns are on the way.

This is our savior?

 

The fact that he hasn't been fired now doesn't mean approval by higher ups. The only way he saves his job is finishing with a winning season and it ain't gonna happen. I'm convinced he will be let go at the end of the season for various reasons stated earlier in this post. To think 3 consecutive losing seasons, abysmal record verses our rivals and a horrid record on away games is going to cut it, one would be very wrong

 

But he has SwAgGgEr!

 

Anyone thinking he's not going to take the full buyout is delusional. That's generational money for his family.

 

they have a right to criticize Beamer - for being 0-2 vs Billy. The only SEC coach to go 0-2 vs him.

 

My only contrarian comment on this…in most scenarios where a coach or player has left a team in the middle of a season they have called him a quitter, not a high character guy. Some National media ripped him pretty good. (See below).


Steve Spurrier did the unthinkable: He quit on his team | Sporting News


He did take the blame for south Carolina playing poorly but…resigning mid season isn’t always seen as doing the right thing.

all your other points I agree with. I’m not sure why this thread even has anything about Spurrier in it. Maybe it helps us get up the page count?

 

Wahooooo!

 

Yea
That's his 27 year old GF

 

#18 Kansas State just dumped the Neon Buffaloes. Chris Klieman deserves a serious look, and it should be easy to lure anybody out of Kansas

 

Guy is still a douche

 

He looks dejected in this clip. I'll say this, as much as I've piled on lately I don't enjoy it. This guy doesn't look like a guy checked out smiling after losses like Mac or Mullen. Yes he has generational wealth now but the guy wants success as a coach and he is failing despite his efforts. Apparently Dooley claims he hasn't lost the lockeroom yet either.

With that said, I personally have some vitriol over failing to give up the play calling duties while also claiming he studied the past failures of prior coaches. If he did the 2nd part he would know he had to get this right this year and focus on the program not try to be a game caller at the same time.

 

Just the talent Kiffen will get ALONE will make up for some coaching deficits/ which btw are NEGLIGIBLE compared to cbn. Kids wanna play in his system and wanna play for him. Anyone who doesn’t think he wins 10 a year here is a dolt

 

I have no problem with him taking his buyout, that’s what it’s for. I also had admiration for spurrier leaving the bag on the table when he quit. Napier hasn’t quit though.

 

It's not his fault or responsibility that we signed a bad deal. It's a contract signed in good faith, though in hindsight one side has gotten the enormously better end of the deal. The message for me concerning how this buyout plays out isn't "is Napier a stand up guy" but "will we make better buyout decisions on future contracts?"

 

Damn, man, it's bad enough when rivals use that bullcrap against us.

 

Obviously the problem wasn't primarily the personnel.

 

To this day I’ve never seen a Gator fan in jorts.

 

Most people here already have Kiffin pegged as the main target. I did mention Day in my list. Didn't know about the K State coach. Who else they should call?

 

Yet he’s

already made generational wealth.
