**Buzz Buzz Buzz** - Are you Kiffen me? I'll have my crow... In a BOWL please.

Dude, our players play hard for him. And they are having fun. The hardest and most fun that any players have ever played for a coach.

#FourMoreYears

 

Until the President and UAA mess gets cleared up it doesn’t really matter if you keep or fire BN, I think the results will be the same. UF really needs some better leadership and vision from the the top down.

 

Lane now has Ole Miss primed for a possible CFP appearance. This is probably the last opportunity Florida would have to steal him away, but anything is possible. No question now Lane is legit. Ole Miss will finish 6-2 in the conference and depending on how the rest of the league shakes out, they're in the CFP conversation.

 

Agreed. Realistically, we're waiting for a new President to fire SS. It's funny to me, because you'd think SS would fire Napier in the hopes that the new coach would save SS his job. Maybe that still happens. I believe SS left it vague to allow him to fire Napier this year. After being on the sideline Saturday, that indicates a possibility to me that SS is considering firing Napier this year. If the results continue to deteriorate, it could happen.

 

Still. We don't want to maybe browse a bit before committing to another year of this?

 

Didn't they just release a statement that they were committed to him for another year?

 

Maybe we did.

 

The statement does not commit to a timetable, which is notable, because it leaves open the possibility of a swift dismissal. One would think that statement was lawyered to death before its release. I could think of a million legal reasons SS didn't put a timetable in that statement. Also, SS being on the Florida sideline Saturday indicates to me he is watching it closely or at least wants to give the appearance that he is watching the situation closely. That is stuff GM's do when they are about to fire someone. I'm just speculating, but the statement does not spell out a timetable.

 

I think we can safely say SS didn't commit to a specific amount of time with that statement. Because there could be a hundred reasons, other than team on-field performance, to fire a coach. SS wouldn't want to strip himself of that ability by committing to a certain time frame.

 

Bosses tend to like to get their documentation lined up before they fire someone.

 

The coping is wild if someone thinks they are firing Napier and getting another coach like Lane. Billy is back next season 1000%. Let's just hope they have told him to get an OC. Preferably one who doesn't rotate the wide receivers side to side for no reason every play, but instead has routes that are open.

 

What i saw from a tackling perspective is a D not playing hard. I saw 30 missed tackles and I stopped counting before halftime.

 

You can look but you can’t touch.

I think any coach worth hiring probably wants some stability.

 

Mullen was a very good recruiter. However, he had some bad faults/issues that got him fired.

On the other hand, Mullen (and the other State of Florida supported schools) were drastically handicapped by the state laws that regulated (actually restricted) the use of NIL's. As a result, many out of state colleges and Miami (a private college) had a field day poaching good Gator players. FYI, a year or two ago, the state of Florida revised the state law on the use of NIL's. Napier has made good use of that revision.

 

Huh? NiL was after Mullen. I agree he was handicapped because other schools had a more efficient system in place of pay for play but Mullen was never considered a good recruiter let alone a very good one. It's well known Tebow came here despite Mullen not because of him. The list of players recruited by Mullen that panned out are few and far apart. Class numbers meant nothing. Some of his class rankings were based on players that never had a chance to even see campus and no other program touched like wardrick Wilson or Arjei Henderson, the latter of the two that never so much as took a visit and committed out of nowhere late but of course never was a real take.

 

Yep, they want to coach for the AD and President that will be there during their tenure.

 

It's funny because Jesse and Tess kept going on and on about how hard the players play for him. Then you read write ups about our startling lack of effort that was so bad that even Napier mentioned it in his PC. It's like we all live in different realities.

 

CBS torches Moore, Napier and Cristobal. It's their "overreaction" take, but hard to argue with any of it.

College football Week 11 overreactions: Sherrone Moore isn't the man for Michigan, Florida keeps getting worse

 

I haven't followed Michigan at all so I have no opinion on Moore but this logic is interesting.

So they got the desired result after the punt yet it's an "egregious sin?" Obviously the decision had to be made prior to the result being known, but the author didn't state a case for why punting would be such a horrible idea.
