    Those records are very close to the same. Zook did however have better wins yearly it seemed. I dont think zooks teams were ever as bad as what Napier inherited.

    8 wins was good enough last year. We will see what happens this year. Theres more to it than numbers on paper.

    I agree that Zook inherited a much better roster. Don't forget Zook got absolutely SCREWED out of 2 wins. 1 in 2003, and 1 in 2004. His last team also won its bowl game, which most likely would have occurred had he still been HC. You just can't lose to a MSU team that lost to Maine and expect to retain your job in Year 3.

    It was 7. Beating a Tulane team without there QB is hardly a feather in the cap. All he did was not embarrass us this time like he did against Oregon State.

    My eyes. Did you watch the games? They were pitiful worst in the SEC. How much much more evidence do you need than results? Just because you don’t want it to be true doesn’t mean it isn’t.

    Then have more pride than being okay with 8-4. We are the University of Florida. Billy makes 7.5 million dollars and has all the tools he needs to be successful. Hold his ass accountable.

    8-5 or 7-5 it’s garbage for year 3. He should be gone. This entire fanbase has settled for mediocre and it’s sad. That’s my point.

    You said CBN "let Defense and special teams play grab ass at practice everyday the first year."

    Your eyes didn't see that. So, Link?

    That spin cuts both ways. It was really only 3 losses because games with the 3rd string QB don't count.

    If he wasn’t letting them play grab ass it’s an even bigger indictment of his horrific management. So you pick I don’t really care. It looked like they were playing grab ass all day regardless. Hope this helps.

    Dissecting grammar on a message board is the first sign you have ran out of excuses to play block for the guy making 7.5 million. Enjoy the grammar policing.

    How can you see what a good coach looks like with Golden and turn around and not see what a joke we’ve become with Napier. Where is the disconnect?

    Do you think my thoughts on the matter are going to change anything?

    Of course not, I’m just trying to understand how you cannot see the grass from the trees. Your we can’t control it so shouldn’t have an opinion thing you do is just you not standing on any kind of conviction. I’m sure it translates to your real life too. Enjoy.

    I control what I can control. Gators are a form of entertainment for me, so I try to enjoy it and let the folks running things worry about the hard stuff. If I wanted a seat at the table, I know how to get one. That would make it a job for me though, not just entertainment.

    Likewise, I’m sure you spend most of your personal time complaining about other things you will never be able to change.

    Nope, I just tell the truth.
