HOW IS THE OL DEVELOPING?

I really think Billy is building for the future and has blinders on regarding immediate results to save his job. We’ve had flash in the pan moments and they’re not sustainable and Napier knows that. It would really suck if foolish impatient people terminate him before he can finish the initial rebuild

 

Podcaster is just another word for shitcaster.

If we can upgrade, we will upgrade. We're in the middle of the rebuild.

 

Back to back 5-7 seasons including a loss at Vandy tests the patience of many Gator fans awaiting the “initial rebuild”.

 

Maybe. Maybe not. We're all just guessing, unless someone has a statistically-sound poll.

Even if true, the verdict of "many Gator fans" might be wrong, and in fact, counterproductive. To give us what we want, leadership might have to avoid giving us what we ask.

 

Do you invest your time and money going to the games? I do which certainly affects my opinion of the “initial rebuild” and might affect yours.

 

So in other words, you go to games and demand immediate gratification. Gee how special you are!

 

Induring back to back 5-7 seasons while attending all home games and Fla-Ga is not demanding instant gratification. Please answer the question. Do you actually attend the games? Thanks in advance.

 

Yes

 

You have more patience than me. This year’s team could be better than the last two but with the ultra challenging schedule the record may show it.

 

I have followed the Gators since the early 60's, was a student there, and I attended some games. Thus, I am not a recent member of this band wagon.

Question: What were your expectations for the 2022 and 2023? Were you expecting 8 and 5 for 2022 and 10 and 3 for 2023?

Please factor in the previous three bad hires for coaching, a sometimes inept AD, the impact of the Portal, that at the end of the 2021 season the UF Football program was a dumpster fire, and loosing both Shemar James and Mertz to injuries (in the last half of the season).

 

You’re right - I have more patience than you. You gotta take the entire situation into consideration — I see cause for patience with CBN based upon all that was wrong when he walked in the door: a program that had been irrelevant since target recruits were in 2nd grade, the decimated roster he inherited, the total rebuild he had to establish and execute, the culture change he had to make happen, the staff he assembled, his bust ass recruiting efforts, the comments from players and their families after visits,….. Anybody getting impatient after 2 years is either unreasonable, naive, or both.

 

IMO, you throw...and make...a few long ones and THEN the defense will adjust. Gotta prove you can before you get the respect.

 

Probably better for the long run, but Napier needs to win a couple extra games this year

 

If they are upgrades on the roster that will help us win games this year, you take them and let the chips fall

 

Not to mention the crazy tough schedule he has to navigate, NIL confusions and issues and the lack of a big name to draw from. If he he pulls this off, he is the MAN.

 

I totally agree with you. The Gator Offense has to show that they can execute before the opposing Defense makes the adjustments. The next big step is to consistently execute the plays correctly.

 

The schedule is rough, we can be a much improved team from last year, and still end up with the same record.
