    His presser is a hard watch. The media got a tad more direct, but still they are afraid to be blunt for fear of their press passes being revoked for sure.

    Not really. A handful of players didn't play up to exceptions. Two blown coverage led to two TD. Mertz played well before leaving (ummm ok). Russ has taken some off his plate, but zero indication he will call more plays, or that Billy will hand that off.

    That was a big slam to the many good people who call central Florida home.

    Of course Billy comes from the fine booming metropolis of Chatsworth, Ga. in Murray County.

    FYI, Murray county has US 411 running right through it. If US 411 does not sound familar, you may know it by its nickname, Meth Highway.

    Pro-tip: if you're a masochist and choose to watch any more of Napier's press conferences, wait 10 minutes and watch it at 1.25x speed.

    It's actually amazing, the reporters asking the questions sound clearly sped up while Billy sounds like a normal person.

    Of all the times to let that fly... somehow, now that I've given some thought about it, I'm not that surprised. He sees the world differently than everyone else and has no feel for the temperature in the room. Oblivious or willfully ignorant.

    First of all, are there any basements in Central Florida?

    Stupid thing to say, but I don't envy a coach in Billy's position.

    You're damned if you resort to cliches and platitudes. You're damned if you breathe optimism in the face of inevitable failure. And you're damned if you say we're screwed.

    If it were me, I'd stick to the cliches and platitudes.

    No, but I know what a meddling coach and a middling offense look like.
