No excuse, Napier needs to go

His buyout is so insane he probably wouldn’t mind being fired. He could just invest all that money and never work again

 

Another freaking grifter.

 

Napier on not playing barber more snaps says "they are still evaluating their best 5."

If he was your doctor you'd be buried a year before he decided you died from injuries suffered in a plane crash.

Yes, my take on Napier as coach has done a complete 180.

 

Agree. Plus, do gator fans want to see an old man grinding his ass with young recruits? Hell no for me!

 

I damn near spit out my water on that one. Well played.

 

The AAU came up with arbitrary requirements to fit who they felt deserved to be on the Ring of Honor. Urban, based on those requirements, deserves to be in. I think the “in good standing with the institution” is the sticking point…and all signs show that he’s in good standing with UF.

Ring of Honor at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

 

And then there’s that word Honor that’s in the title. It may not say it in the requirements but it is in the title. Maybe that part is inferred.

 

Then make that a requirement in writing however that sounds like.

 

It’s in the name . Is he an honorable man. Maybe so.

 

Who are you talking about, us, the fans? I was responding to the nonsensical argument making up some arbitrary deadline at 4, 5 or 10 years when he is deemed incompetent. I never do that in my business. When I hire a person I see is not a fit, well they are not a fit. You either have the competency or not. Good leaders and organizations make swift tactical decisions. You are either Patton or Montgomery....history lesson...Patton was critical to winning the war..Montgomery, not so much.

 

Yes it damn sure was fugly, and seriously shook my confidence in BN. But we can’t be irrational in how we deal with it. Every coach we shitcanned in the past decade deserved it - but every time we acted on it we ended up no better - actually worse due to the instability we introduced to the job. Mac was no better than Lumpy, and Mullen ended up being no better than Mac. We can’t keep doing this. And we’ve turned this into a job that a good coach will really have to think hard about taking.

Knee-jerk firing a coach again with no plan in place tracks right along with that popular and overworked definition of insanity

 

I’d be done after the Miami game. But letting him blow in the wind isn’t how I’d do it.

 

Yeah and not all businesses are successful either. In fact, most aren’t.

 

I own a business that made 2 million in profit off 6 million in revenue, and it gave me the luxury of being on vacation and arguing on the Internet. You stumbled into proving me right here with your comment. Yes, you fail in business sometimes; it's a prerequisite. Read the book "Get to No." We may have to hire and fire four coaches until we hit on the right one. You do your best with due diligence, but you can never really know. Look up tactical versus strategic decisions and know the difference.

Us 1%ers know this

 

“Us 1%ers”? Get over yourself pal. I’ve run projects that far exceeded a year’s worth of your top line. The world is full of people running small businesses like yours. Doesn’t make you one bit more qualified at hiring and firing head football coaches than anybody else on this board.

Free advice: better get that ego in check or your little business might not be around long enough to see another head coach at UF

Edit: I too had the luxury of being on vacation last week, and I wasn’t stupid enough to waste it arguing on a message board

 

Alright, time to bust out the mini rulers and settle this.

 

..and this week, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

He wouldn’t even need to invest in anything that required maintenance. A simple money market account and most normal people could live off the interest.

 

Can’t spell analytics without …….. well you know
