I dunno. Are you slow? I put Muschamp in that category of coaches who took over a good situation. Most people agree that Zook did not. I believe even Spurrier admitted the “cupboard was bare” when Zook came in. If the point you are trying to make is that Napier deserved some grace when he came in for the state of the program, then of course I agree. And he got it. It’s done. It’s his team now to win or lose with. I don’t even want to hear Mullen’s name come up if this team can’t count to 11 or sort out jersey numbers in Year 3. It’s beyond stale. If you think Mullen three years ago equals consequence-free third season for Napier, then I respectfully disagree. If your health and well-being somehow depends on Napier being around in 2025, then spend less time cursing Mullen and more time praying for long-awaited victories. I will pray right there with you.
I don't think he "hates" Billy but he definitely isn't using any nuance to look at how he has evolved since day 1. I'm not happy with a lot of how coach handled things but to me he has shown the willingness and ability to evolve. Too many things to list that he has changed since he got here. Would someone more experienced have made those same mistakes to begin with? Probably not but then again Mullen had all the experience in the world, started out hot and then floundered because he Couldn't/wouldn't evolve. Same people that don't like Napier have amnesia over Mullens last two years. Crazy how some Napier bashers continue to reminisce about Mullen though.
We all have our concerns - me included - but we’re a few weeks away from kickoff in The Swamp and this guy just keeps taking potshots at Billy. Screw that shit. If you’re any kind of a fan at all, it’s time to support your team or STFU. Continued sarcasm and cynicism is nothing but destructive at this point Go Gators
I'm usually in the "don't over react to a win or a loss" but this is bigger than the usual season opener. I fear it will set the tone for the year- but it's also true that if we win 5 of the next 6 (Samford, TAMU, at Miss St, UCF, at UT, UK) then we will be fine. I am a huge CBN fan but even I will admit we've had some inexcusable lapses. He's got to get better on this simple stuff.
No need for us Gators "to eat each others young". We all want to win. It's been a tough three year stretch. For everybody. Humbling, exhausting, frustrating. But the Gators have a chance to set things right Aug 31st, at home against a much hated rival. I will say this, the mojo for this team is building. Just watched our Gator darlin Ally Peek inteview Chris Doering. Chris is on board! The locker room seems rock solid. Confidence is high. Players are pissed and are tired of dragging that anti Gator media sled around. I like this squad to emerge as a surprise contender. Why not UF this year? We got the QB, the running backs, DB's, a slew of recievers, and according to reports the DL and especially the edge rushers look to be vastly improved. Special teams looks to be taking a quantum leap. Our kicking game should be excellent. Napier says our punter is kicking laser beams into the stratosphere. We got a FG kicker effective from at least 50+ yards. We got Ron Roberts to head bang the defense on the sidelines to bring the temperature up. Sure, we are just a few weeks away and we are all getting drunk on the anticipation, but I really admire Napiers confidence and outlook considering the pressure he is under.
