**The end is coming, for Billy Napier at Florida**

It has been rough on recruiting. I’m for the administration giving CBN a vote of confidence and hope for a successful finish to the season. If he gets this and we can pull off an upset or two and beat FSU he may be able to salvage a decent class. If we get a bowl game I think we win that too because it’s likely we won’t have many opt-outs.
Please note I said vote of confidence: Not contract extension.

 

I'm not willing to 'wait until next year' every year from now on.

 

Expectations of events or things one has no control of should be rooted in reality.
14 years or so of mediocre play will degrade expectations of the fan base.
It may be macho to say "I won't accept mediocrity", but saying it doesn't change the reality. If it did, we wouldn't be where we are now.

 

So, in short, the options are either keep him or fire him
Brilliant.

 

Nothing new but well worth a read.

 

If BN is retained, you'll see a lot of "I think 7-5 will be a good year given our tough schedule next year".

 

Did you see the fsu stadium last week. Losing is expensive. 99k in the swamp is a pretty sweet check.

 

The wuestion is , what coach gives us the best chance to win next year. Do you have a suggestion as to who is willing to sign on the dotted line. This isnt like signing after sos or urbs. Our program has been struggling.

 

I’m struggling with the notion of keeping a guy that has been given the most resources of any coach at UF, has the highest paid contract of any coach at UF, yet has one of the worst records of any coach in UF history. I can’t wrap my head around it.

 

Our situation is Fuched up

 

You think you won't see that if BN isn't retained?

 

We certainly will see that. It's more an indictment of the trajectory. It will be year 4 and no evidence that BN has us on a trajectory to make the playoff one day.

Its a messed up situation. But whataya do. Its a tricky situation. Napier could win ten games next year, i believe it could happen. I also believe a DJ led team,

i think Saturday showed vast improvement.

 

Is it possible? Yes
Is it probable? I would argue "No" based on his history here and trajectory. Either one of us could be wrong.

To me, it seems like too many dominos have toppled at this point. Recruits think he is toast and will not commit to this program. Donors likely have cut off the wallet as well, so NIL is not helping either. No NIL, no portal shopping either.

Time will tell how this plays out.

 

10 wins??? Congrats on the optimism. I wish I could see it. Based on recent history id say it's more likely we have another mediocre season ....at best.

The idea that some here are pushing that we keep a coach that has had 3 straight losing seasons and is now getting killed in recruiting is just bizarre to me. I can't imagine any big time program doing that in the current environment. But, I'm just a fan, so I will wait for the execs to make the call, tho given their recent track record I'm not optimistic on any of it.

At least basketball season has started and there is plenty to be optimistic about there.
