Would everyone be as up in arms to fire Napier if the team had looked competent the previous two years and we didn’t lose games due to coaching brain farts? The seat would be warm, but Napier could tell us trust the process with a straight face and the fans saying give him time would have a leg to stand on. The argument for being patient with Napier the previous two seasons was we have a lack of talent and we should let Napier recruit himself out of the hole Mullen left him. However, the on-field results show that the issue may not be entirely talent related, but that there is a scheme/coaching component as well. We have tackled like crap the previous two seasons and it takes year 3 for Napier to start practicing hard during the season? What I am trying to say is Napier has made his own bed with how he has coached and the on-field results he has generated. If he hadn’t had his brain fart games and bad losses, we wouldn’t have this thread right now. He burned through his goodwill with the fanbase and we have the situation we have now. If you can’t win immediately, you need to show steady forward growth/momentum, which is something that Napier has yet to achieve.
Thanks for these incredible new and unique points. With all due respect, Napier's fate will be decided by what happens in the remaining games of this season. None of this past year's worth of incessant internet chatter about fire him/fire him later/fire him now/hire this guy/don't hire that guy will matter in the least to the people that make the decision. It has been nothing but a colossal waste of time and oxygen.
If you recall my buddies sisters cousin's ex wife used to sleep with Lane Kiffins's pool boy and ironically the same pool boys neice cuts Scott Stricklin's wife's best friends hair in Hog Town, and she has on good authority that he uses this forum for all AD advisement and coaching decisions.
Fisher has a natty. Norvell is terrible but has an undefeated regular season. Napier hasn’t had a winning season and he had Richardson to start out
AR ? Hmm, not sure he is the warrior you want leading your soldiers. Maybe they are getting a better attitude now and will fight the puppies Saturday. Its a tall order and i dont expect to win but i want to see some pride and some fight out of these Gators.
I was willing to give CBN the benefit of the doubt. But sending out 12 players for a fg at the end of the half vs. UT. Predicable play calling and wasting timeouts early in the half have made my mind up. As far as replacing him that is a problem. Saban in not unsettling. Ryan Day isn't leaving. I like the guy at Indiana but he is 63. We are in a bad spot right now. I hope we can reverse it soon.
Lol, did you see he took himself out of the game this weekend because he needed a breather? Have you ever seen a qb do that? Ever? At any level?
AR as an asset? Same guy that completed roughly 1 in 2 pass attempts? 14 for 35 against Kentucky? 9 for 27 against FSU? That's been aging well since he left. "I can definitely get better and delivering the ball and helping my guys up," Richardson said. "But I also can't catch every pass. If I could, I would, definitely. But it's also helping guys out and helping guys help me." Now, he takes a play off because he's tired. SMH
