AD gives public statement of support

Geez what a horrible joke

 

It just says “will continue”, it doesn’t say until when. I’m hoping this is a move to shore up recruiting and that he WILL continue…….until November 30th.

 

an absolute eyebrow raiser

 

Well, crap

 

“They play with resolve!!!!”

but they don’t win. So give Napier another 7 million!

 

Commitment to excellence

 

This is not a ‘statement of support’, this is a statement of what is going to happen.

 

Can we fire them both? Such a slap in the face to anyone who’s given anything to this university.

 

Boosters not paying another asinine buyout? Who decided to give a Sunbelt coach a $51 million dollar contract anyway?

The spin will be great team chemistry, injuries, winning several participation trophies this year so far. Blah, blah!

 

Great move. Had to be done to help his recruiting and before the transfer portal opens up to retain players and get new ones. Give the man his 4 years. Fans bad mouthing him while are free to do so, have not helped anything.

 

I suspect that is what will happen eventually

 

Don't shoot the messenger, but I did tell you all that from my heavy monitoring of comment sections on Gator football related Youtube videos and Twitter posts, the support for Billy Napier is a lot higher out in the wild than here on Gator Country. I'd estimate that about 75% of the fan comments I read are favorable to keeping Billy, and are largely based upon the improvement in the team after the bye. Billy is public enemy #1 on the message boards, but I don't think the average fan sentiment mirrors what is going on here.

 

I must be missing something did we win those games the last couple weeks or are we now just happy that the kids who are being paid...are playing hard for the coach...I guess UF football is now happy with participation trophies.

 

Agree. Had to be done. No one better to hire and I am proud of the players,

 

Only way I would even consider him long term would be if he gives up all control of the offense and just focuses on being a CEO type.

 

These kids aren’t coming to play for a coach that will have 3 losing seasons in a row. There is no proof of concept. The fact that people still don’t get this is absolutely hilarious.

You think our biggest donors are shelling out NIL money for our worst coach ever? This is a Scott Frost or Clay Helton situation. Irreparable damage has been done to Gator football with a single tweet.

 

Him being the worst coach ever hasn’t helped anything
