    SS might as well throw in the towel on that resume of his. Three coaches hired under his leadership accused of misconduct. Two football coaches hired that were/are underwhelming IMO, which will waste millions of dollars. Would you hire him if his resume came across your desk?
    Is there even a high school program that would consider hiring him at this point?

    Can you direct me to where this intersection is located? I’m in the Gainesville area. I’ll grab my crucifix and some holy water and perform an exorcism before today’s game!

    Fine. Give him another year. It’s not going to change that outcome. No other big talent is coming to player for mediocrity, and that’s what we will always be with Billy Napier. Stinklehiner needs the boot too. Do that. Then after Billy proves he cant get a Sec championship he can go to. That is what we said is the expectation right?

    Looks like everyone saw the writing on the wall about this game and Strickland preemptively said CBN coming back to reduce the noise in the system and after an embarrassing loss.

    I agree but what does reducing the noise get us? We’re deteriorating to bottom tier in the SEC

    One coach started in 21 and the other in 22. Both coaches had a losing record their first season. One coach improved year over year…the other….well…he’s nice and the guys play hard.

    I'm confused. (I haven't read all 176 pages of this thread.) The AD's statement doesn't say Napier is coming back next year, it just says he will continue as HC. For how long? Yet the broadcasters of the game today said it has been announced that Napier is coming back next year. Did the AD issue another statement, or what am I missing?

    No doubt. I was implying the inverse.
