**Buzz Buzz Buzz** - Nappier's (ahem) Golden Ticket

Sometimes bad teams compete. They are at the bottom. If the old East existed they’d be dead last. They lost to Georgia, Florida, Carolina, and Vandy at -61 point differential.

An awful SEC doesn’t mean they suck vs say the sun belt. Kentucky this year would be great there. They are just bottom tier SEC

 

And where are Miami, aTm, and Tennessee? Tell both sides of the story, please.

 

Apparently, that's all that's required when talking about college football, and Pete fulfills the requirement. But, Chapel Hill is a very nice place, and since football is a distant second to basketball there it would be a good place to coach since most of the time you'd be under the radar. When I lived in the area, Carolina fans would leave a football game to go watch basketball practice.

 

Are you trying to be Wanna15 and not quote what you are responding to?

Agree. I think he quit after the covid season because his agent didn't get the bump he wanted. But, Stiklin did and gave him extension. Then proceeded to fire him later after giving him à larger buyout.

 

It’s two different jobs. A coach attracted to UNC is not a coach interested in winning championships or it’s a coach looking to cut his teeth before moving up. UNC and UF aren’t looking for the same type of candidates. Of course that’s just my opinion.

 

I agree. I lived in the area when Spurrier was at Duke. They played a game to win the title in 1989 and had less than 15k at the game and it was at home. Carolina is the same way. 8 or 9 wins a year is good enough. Carolina had a 10 win season when Dick Crum was there and it was an afterthought cuz it was bball season.

 

All 3 obviously have good teams this year, certainly better results than UF. However, to me that is an even bigger negative reflection on Napier.

Cristobal is in his third year just like Napier and is undefeated. (Many here thought the guy was a bad hire)
Elko is in his first year in Aggies land and is winning big.
Heupel is in his 4th year at UT, inherited a crap program yet has never had a losing season.

Napier is in his third season and fans are still hoping to see his first winning season.

 

Yes we already know you want Billy gone - now tell us something we don’t know

 

Our coach makes over 7 mil and doesn't win anything. Checkmate.

 

Got handled by USCe, Vandy and UF. Nothern Illinois has as many wins vs Top 10.

 

Yet another double digit win and even had to do it with the backup QB. Cignetti is the definition in what I want in the next coach. Winner everywhere he has gone with fast turnaround. Willing to bet on himself by taking a incentive laden contract, which means he earns his money on the job rather than in negotiations.

If he were under 60 it would be a no brainer at this point. I'd still take him for a decade, then figure out the next guy.

 

Oh that's so cute. So you think that the expectations at Florida and unc are the same. Gotcha.

 

Some of you have become experts on how to flip every possible situation into a further indictment upon Billy Napier. Another team is good? Billy’s fault. Gators improve on defense? Billy should have improved earlier. Gators improve on offense? Billy shouldn’t have needed to improve the offense… should have been good before. Gators win 4 games? Billy should have won 5. Gators make it to the playoffs? Billy keeps wearing that black shirt.

It’s just a never ending barrage of negativity.

 

UCF getting blasted
Miss state got rolled.
Our wins not looking good.

 

LOL

 

No, but the way SS negotiates contracts that doesn't matter. A coach could win 0 games at either program and get paid more at UF.

 

Is there evidence to suggest SS' contracts are any worse than peer schools?

 

UCF is playing #11 BYU and should get blasted

Miss State is playing Arky who is now 5-3 and decent.

I don’t think it means anything about our wins other than those teams are playing teams better than them this week.

 

This particular discussion is about UF vs UNC. A fired Napier at 85% this year would have made about $6.2 mil, Mack Brown is making $5 mil to actually coach the team. This not a jaded fan argument, UF is an objectively better job than UNC.

I'm literally arguing UF is the better job and you guys are pushing back. So, tell me why UNC is better than UF for a coach looking for a new job?
