    I figured he’d be gone after Miss St. game, until I heard this yesterday. Now It’ll be after UCF, IMO. May depend on how ugly a loss to Miss St is. I’ve heard this may be why Wilson is not playing. Heard he can burn his redshirt, as long as he does’t play 5 games. I’m not 100 on this, tho.

    If the trigger is pulled too soon there will be a line 20+ players ready to hang it up this season. There is no advantage to move this soon on this.

    I couldn't agree with you more Scooter. We are in the minority.

    I don't know Wanne. I certainly think it's worth a phone call from the boosters though.

    And if he cares to talk, he may have insight like sos does. The great coaches recognize who can oc and dc. Running the whole this is an entirely diy animal.

    Wilson just had knee surgery, so it is doubtful he is sitting because of redshirt issues.

    Maybe we can get Saban. Not likely, but he has spoken well of Florida and lives here.

    Not sure what the right time would be. If a really "great" hire could be made, perhaps. But, are the players on board with Napier- support, like, revere him? I would think they want a changes asap, but who knows. Given the results, I would be surprised if the players thought they were being developed to their potential. Were I not one of Mertz, Montrell, Webb, or our punter, I would feel cheated.

    The thing is....there isn't going to be a new coach or different development this season. Firing Napier only means he is gone and the remaining staff soldiers on. Not much gained unless the players have a particular dislike of Napier, which seems unlikely. The best route imo is keep Napier around as long as you can.....preferably well into Oct. You can still be vetting candidates and putting out feelers.

    They love him but also might want change. There is no sugar coating line play.

    Really hoped the team would redeem themselves last Saturday but the lines are pushed back and the secondary was a sieve. Can MSU push us around like that? Certainly hope not. If only the Oline could simply hold ground I could see Trell having a big day.

    Exactly. I can imagine our players are disappointed with the results and their prospects going forward but still like Napier and wish it were different.

    Oh Man would we have some fun...Full Disclosure, i may not make it through the entire season. Something about Moral ethics and coeds. Really kind of a gray area if you ask me....

    Wow. Always thought he lived at the Lake House. Guess he likes no state tax in the FL.
