    It’s pretty hard to “address” glaring problems in 9 different position groups in 1-1/2 recruiting classes, don’t you think?

    Question: in what position(s) do you think we were set when Napier inherited this team?

    It is and I'm not saying it wasn't a difficult task to address all the personnel issues but that is why he is paid well to get it figured out and so far in his first two years he hasn't. If he loses the next two games, we will have the worst back to back record of any coach of gator football in my lifetime and I am hoping like the rest of us that he figures it out.

    Me too buddy. But I don’t care how much money he gets paid, you sound like you’re literally expecting miracles. You can’t fix the o-line, QB, WR, D-line, LB, CBs, and safeties in 1-1/2 recruiting classes. This 2004 class should help big. He needs 2 more

    I have fully embraced the 2025 timeline. After recent performances it is clear as day we have a long long ways to go. The HS recruiting are the bricks, doesn't mean you can't use the portal as mortar. I'm just starting to have concerns about the quality of the bricks and how they are being used.

    It isn't the loss, it was the view of the loss. It looked disconnected to anything he wants to believe and tell us. I won't poo-poo losing in BR at night with this team. I WILL say that Arkansas was a major league brain fart. And until I read something akin to "I had to wait until now to do the necessary thing", probably sometime in December, then it is VERY plausible that Napier is oblivious or stubborn. But we shall see then.

    Scant evidence that Kelly inherited a better team than Napier. Kelly is just building back better and faster.

    This is it pretty precisely. If you look at FSU, they are in the position they are in because of maybe 5 players. 4 of them were portal finds. Jordan Travis (recruited from the start), Verse (Portal), J. Wilson (Portal), K Coleman (Portal), and I think Benson the RB is a portal. Probably some others too.
    Hell, even that LSU qb was a transfer. Why can't we get guys like that? Is it money or not being able to evaluate who is worth pursuing with the money we do have?
