Post-Game Discussion: FLORIDA at FSU

Brings to mind an old joke I read after the Fiesta Bowl debacle in which we were hosed by Nebraska. "How many Gators does it take to tackle Tommie Frazier?" with the answer being "Nobody knows because it hasn't happened yet". While watching yesterday's game, the same could have been updated substituting Travis Jordan for Tommie Frazier.

 

I’ll agree to a point.
Kelly had 43 roster players he killed the portal and was hired after Napier, granted he was already a D1 dude and may have already had some inroads with portal guys.

I’m not on the fire Napier train(despite being critical of him this year) some of the in game decisions have been head scratching (don’t run in the 3rd yesterday the most recent), until yesterday his short clock management has been bad but he may get it fixed (saw a glimmer of hope yesterday).

I’m also not in the camp the roster was so terrible this year that we couldn’t field a better D (that’s on the DC), we did lose some guys that were really good players when Nap came in and mid season not something that I think is super great (sometimes ya need to keep lesser employees just to keep the doors open).

In closing some are super jazzed up about Nap because of what I would say is a very thin resume,hell Mac had twice the resume and he flamed out.
The HBC at UF isn’t for everyone and time will tell if he was the right guy his job and SS really depend on it.
Since none of us have the ability to hire and fire we all just have to sit back and hope this point, another coaching change makes us UT(both of them), bama seems to be trending down and that will help in recruiting . Maybe he turns out like Harbaugh at UM who has taken 5 years but seems to have things going pretty good despite early on getting schooled by one of our former coaches.

Lord knows it pains me to be middle of the pack SEC but that what our record is. Need to close out and sign a great class, get help with playing calls on O and D and we will see where we are in a year.

 

Travis is the best college QB in the state of Florida this year, IMO.

Hey, it's over, most of those that suspected this season would be rough were right.

Year 1 is in the books. Looking forward to a Bowl, good recruiting class, a hot transfer portal and a lot of new faces for 23.

 

Another thing about play calling and scheme.

When you have ETN’s brother tweeting about lack of carries, it is not a good look for recruiting, or portal which works both ways. We were all also thinking it.

reminiscent of Urbs, after a bit WR recruiting got tough, screen blockers you know.

With the portal, any player could take their ball and go to a rival. Different world out there now.

 

Or any other

This is who we currently are.

SEC Records (last two years)
2-13 Vandy
5-11 UF
5-10 Auburn
5-10 A&M
6-10 Mizzou
7-9 USCE
7-9 Arkansas

 

Douglas probably shouldn’t be playing as a freshman.

 

Ouch! Only Vandy has a worse SEC record, and lost to them a week ago to boot. Never would’ve imagined this was possible before the last few years, smh.

 

Like a Phoenix, CBN will have Florida rising like a Phoenix from the ash heap of SEC East bottom dwelling to SEC Champions!!!!

Hail the new boss!

Resistance, is futile.

 

Ooof. I was also thinking bottom third, and after today's games it looks like only Vandy will have a worse 2 year record and Aubie and A&M will likely end up tied with us to be part of misery's company.

 

Yet he got on the field and got a fair amount of PT and then the very next week Whitt quit the team.

 

There have been plays to be made there all season...this defense is just not good talent wise.

 

Never forgive Mullen and Grantham for making us SEC, bottom feeding, scum.

CBN will burn out all that remains of M-G scum with a flame thrower.

 

Does f$u have more/better talent right now than UF? Not paper talent, real field talent.

 

They play different positions.

 

Probably about the same, but their talent has more snaps under their belt.

 

Amazing how many times close calls and lucky bounces just wouldn't break our way this year.

 

You're right, on a second look of the game he didn't but that last pass was a tough catch.

 

Okay. At some point however, the buck will have to stop at his desk....reminds me of an old story:

A new CEO is happily taking the reins and the old CEO. The old CEO, after cleaning out his office, hands the new CEO two envelopes and says "if the fecal matter ever hits the rotary unit, open envelope #1 and do what it says. Use the envelope labelled #2 if it ever happens again." The new CEO happily goes along his way a year or so until the company falls into a crisis. He suddenly remembers the envelopes and finds envelope #1 and opens it and it simply says "blame your predecessor." He thinks a moment and decides to take the advice and it works...things calm down and get more back to normal and the crisis passes. A few more years down the road his company encounters another series of setbacks that threatens his job and he remembers how well the first envelope the old CEO gave him worked. He immediately tears into envelope #2 and reads these words: "prepare two envelopes."
