    He’s never ever aired things in public. Everyone that knows him agrees he’s a class act. That’s why I feel there’s a lot to this. He’s easily one of the classiest and overall good guys to ever wear the O and B.

    Didn’t sound like Ernest’s frustration was one-off event, more like multiple occasions that build up the frustration.

    Yes, you are correct as he’s the HBC making big money and he’s in charge so I’m absolutely assigning responsibility to the man in charge as I should.

    Yes, gotta read his quotes ( plural) about the entire experience. He says
    Dryest experience imaginable.


    new levels of disconnect with this program that I have NEVER ever experienced. No calls, no communication and the dryest experience imaginable. I’m just going to START there.

    Just going with general terminology, you have a Boss (HC) and their STAFF (everyone else)

    Do you want me to post previous comments from him about how great everyone and everything was?
    So which is it?

    As a hardcore Gator, you have to do that until you can’t stand it anymore. I would be too if in the same situation.

    Criticisms do not mean we are a lesser Gators than you. Being a Gators Grad, I will always be a Gator fan no matter what, even if we are 0-12.

    Didn't say that..difference..I get upset and frustrated with loses, ( have followed the Gators since Ray Graves was our coach) I just don't publicly bash my players, coaches and teams where those players, coaches, recruits and their families can read it
    Btw .I am also a Gator grad, season ticket holder and booster since 1985..so my passion also runs deep...been thru an 0-10-1 season myself...and still loved my Gators

    All signs lead to A&M telling the world before Napier could tell anyone about it.

    Here’s what I know:

    Upset Tweet from a Gator Legend that’s a flat out good guy got 1.1 MILLION views!! That’s bad on so many fronts. In a normal organization when this event occurs AD is on phone with coach asap. Especially when you consider 11 and 14 record, recruiting class decommits, top players transferring, and coaching vacancies.

    Am I saying he isn't? Come on Shane..a better way would have been to privately text the coaches or AD..not putting it out on social media..sorry that's a bad look
    I love Ernest..but feel he could have privately shown his displeasure and find out from Coach directly what was going on
    Btw..even great people make wrong decisions..I know I have wished I said or did something differently

    Shaneforzero's default setting is to belive any negative information about Napier regardless of context or legitimacy. Also, Norvell is the greatest....
