**The end is not near, for Billy Napier at Florida**

If the opposing team sees it they can just spike or kneel. 5 free yards for no time.

 

And believe me, all these idiots running around yelling roll tide would go there first if given the opportunity. They would disown their children for going to Auburn. Vandy would have been ok till last weekend.

 

It’s a dumb rule and I didn’t understand it until we got robbed of three points. The rule sounded fine until it directly affected the scoreboard like that.

 

Man, if you wore Auburn colors to my elementary school, it was a beat down

 

My oldest went to school in North Georgia for a year and they didn’t take to his orange and blue either. At least he did fairly well in amateur mma so that helped a bit.

 

He is a snake oil salesman. He's not trying his best to coach the team but instead trying his best to show his "process" works. If he was doing the former he'd recognize that literally every successful modern HC has an offensive coordinator. He'd realize that sticking strictly to a pre-announced QB rotation isn't likely the best plan. He'd hire a competent offensive line coach. He'd check in on special teams to make sure they can count to 12 or identify numbers on uniforms. He'd institute better performance evaluations of his enormous staff. But he isn't, he's pushing forward to prove that it works despite the fact it clearly doesn't.

I'm sure he's a great dude in most respects but this is an obvious problem.

 

I couldn't agree more. If someone wants to like Billy Napier, have at it. But he is an abject failure. No indication he ever had a "guys it's not working and I'm open to change, what do we need to do differently?" with his staff. No indication whatsoever. It's extremely difficult to wrap my mind around the idea that he's a very bright man who just happens to not be doing well at UF.

During the UT game did not the heads said we had started practicing differently, indicating more focus, energy, more physical? We heard something about that leading up to the game? Inexplicable. There had to be assistants imploring him to do things differently pre season and Spring. The only reason(s) that might not have happened is that he doesn't entertain other points of view, or that he assembled the weakest group of assistants known to UF. The latter doesn't seem as likely because we had Grantham and Greg Knox at one point... if that makes sense.

 

Actually it was said during the ucf telecast first that the scrimmage days involved keeping score and it led to more intense practices and they would continue that going forward. It was then retold during the ut game with credit given to Denson for making a stop on the last play of the scrimmage to win it for the defense

 

I know what you're saying, but for the Gators... if we get the right coach, will get better in football, and that will not have anything to do with the school's academic standing or ranking.

 

Doesn’t need to affect each other at all. You can be Michigan or Vandy or Cal, whichever you decide to do. Sports don’t interfere with Professors and Professors don’t have anything to do with football. Ivy League doesn’t even go there with sports and is the only true amateur college football in forever.

 

If you are talking about Oregon, it was a live ball foul, so whatever time ran off the clock counted.

 

The correlation of those that called people haters, turbo whiners, negative, trolls, not real fans, etc. who now don't want to bring up the past is incredibly high. Somehow I doubt if Napier was 6-0 those same people wouldn't be bringing that shit up at every opportunity.

 

Reading is hard sometimes

 

Both sides are equally sanctimonious.

 

And it’s never taken an obscure 5 year process to start winning big at schools like UF. We have way too much evidence. The fact that the UAA fell for that is very concerning.

 

QFT

 

True, but the University runs the UAA. It might be a separate legal organization, but all you have to do is look at who the AD's boss is to tell the the University still controls the entity. It is probably how it should be currently, although as college athletics move into the professional era, I'm not sure that it shouldn't be completely be split off from the University.

 

If it hadn't been obvious before, it was the minute the pre-game 1 depth chart was released with #75 as starting RT.

 

I'm not sure what field you are in, but I know that there were certain firms that recruited at UF that didn't go to some other FL schools. The reputation matters (but not as much as your own personal academic performance) in your first job. Not so much as you move on in your career, however.

 

And there’s discussion of amending the rule because of that game. I guess because we suck, it’s ok to jack up our game over commercial time encroachment.
