    He's a prevent to win HC at UF.
    I don't see how this coach can take UF to semi decent seasons if retained.

    I have to say one thing I liked... We actually had one 13 personnel set piece, and we got a first down out of it with a pass to one of the 3 tight ends.

    What I mean by missed opportunities and dumb plays - Mertz fumbling at the 1 inch line when he should have handed the ball to a running back. Missing out on points to end the half because he had no more timeouts and the half ended on yet another penalty. I won't blame him for Mertz and Johnson getting hurt. Just bad luck and Tennessee had some of that early when they lost 3 key defensive players. Tennessee has the team to deal with it and we don't.

    Mertz was really using the TEs in this game. It was one wrinkle Tennessee couldn't handle.

    Smh. This job is a Fortune 500 company equivalent. Takeover, hire the best people to implement your system... recruit the best to run it.... ensure it's run properly.

    If I could give the first sentence of your post the best, most truest post in the history of the internet I would.
    An absolute sham of a coach. That idiot should be selling time shares somewhere

    Whats also is upsetting about this game was the hope that a W was possible. I had zero expectation we would win. The outcome I expected happened...how it happened was not on my bingo card. How do any of the players look at CBN with any respect when HE COST them a W against a hated rival...with injuries piling up and the circling the drain that is now happening..will be a miracle to get one more victory this season.

    The road losses aren't even to juggernauts. He had lead in about 6 of those losses.

    should have gone for 2.

    the emory and Henry formation got Tennessee to take a timeout, but I would have gone for the win.

    Dude coaches to lose in the second half. It's uncanny. I thought Zook and Muschamp were the pinnacle of that. Billy has made them look like geniuses.

    Billy Napier at UF has always been a post turtle.

    You know the turtle didn’t get on top of the post by himself, so you wonder about the person who put him up there. A turtle has no business on a post and the turtle has no idea what to do while he’s up there.

    All 3 losses to tenn in Knoxville have been blown leads. I truly hate losing to that program. Just makes me sick

    Gonna say it again.

    The powers that be ARE getting what they want. Just recognize that what they want is not what you want from the program.

    I agree, and who is in charge of the offense… I’ll give you 1 guess.

    100% … feel so bad for the players, it’s obvious we have the talent, but the coaching has failed them immensely
