    So you are saying the bashers don't say the same thing all the time on this website as their excuse for their bashing as Nappier said?

    Revisionists crap on his part... Mertz was running for his life all game long, and he missed wide open receiver because of it. Then he got concussed, and I'm sure the pet right tackle project of his had a lot to do with that. That 12 personnel with the tight ends we have is a joke, and he may as well just add a 6th lineman then put an "H" tight-end to block anyone worth their salt. May as well use another O-lineman instead of abusing his H-back.

    One more thing, A defiant and insulting to the fan base, Billy, loses all the "charm" that a losing head football coach may have once been afforded... once upon a time.

    Not exactly. He’s pissed off his supporters also which was already about 50/50. He doesn’t have 5% support after Saturday and he wants to talk shit.

    Where does he think his players and fans come from? Those alumni in the stands and the big donors are a small fraction of gator fans. Pretty elitist statement from a coach trying to be our alltime worst ever.

    He can shut up the griping by fielding a better team ( coaching better).

    About as close to center on the long line as you can get. Never understood why it’s called south Florida . Kinda like fall camp in the middle of the summer. It’s just word salad.

    Just a really bad look. You have to acknowledge an unhappy fanbase after a game like that and own it. How do you preach competitive fire and then tell fans be happy with being almost winless against your rivals?

    Two-fold answer:

    1. We’ve chosen the wrong person for the job 4 times in a row.

    2. The job is a pressure cooker. You are paid too highly, given too many resources, and have access to too much in-state talent to keep looking like the backside of a mule in your third season. This is known to anyone who accepts the position. Problem is most can’t handle it.

    I live in the panhandle and am in my basement right now. I just shelled out 2k to watch his garbage production. He should be apologizing to us basement dwellers. Is he just an idiot and he hasn’t realized it yet.

    Yep, the next guy needs experience, confidence, and some swagger to come in here and build a winner.

    Is the term 'bashers' actually applicable when the on-field product and results have ultimately proven them correct?

    Be that as it may, he didn't say what you claim. He didn't say that he doesn't see what Gator fans think about his program. He said that "we don't care" what fans think about his program.

    That's antagonistic; and it's going to make things worse, not better.

    That is not my point. There is no Billy love here, I think he needs to go too. My point is he said the same thing the bashers on here use as their excuse for their bashing, now there are bashers bashing him for saying the same thing they say.

    He’s getting bashed by everyone now not just the whiny bitches. He needs to read the room and realize where he’s at now.

    Can someone take me back in time and explain to me why we gave a coach who had never coached a game for a power conference school a $25 million buyout?
