    Dan addressed nothing and weakened the overall program. He scored points and killed the host like a parasite

    I will continue to "spin" objective facts as long as you keep posting opinions based on personal feelings.

    That is the least of it, I've heard Billy also has to walk to work, uphill both ways in blizzard conditions.

    We sho
    uld be there by now but we arent. Theres clearly more work to be done or maybe we start over. Just being in the playoff is not a goal either.

    Ten wins on that schedule probably doesnt even sniff the playoffs and rightly so. Undefeated would have done it with their qb but they still would have probably gotten clobbered. They almost lost a few games to weak teams. They were good but doubtful they were championship good. Thats the Bowden metid, run to the easy path and hope for the best.

    Thats true but Warner isnt going to enable that unless he improves . Id hope for an oc/ playcaller if Napier is retained. I wouldnt force one on him but i might fire him if he isnt smart enough to do it himself.

    Thats what we all would like to know and hopefully the ones making decisions have that under control. DJ came to UF while we were losing and staed he wanted to be part of turning tge program around. Only he and his family know if Napier is a necessary part of that. Ive heard no rumors either way much less anything substantiated.

    By the way, I feel no shame over getting multiple bans from the Too Hot mods. Quite the opposite in fact. I learned that I am not cut out for posting in a hostile environment with seemingly dozens of entitled clueless ingrates. The exchanges were similar to the ABC-moderated presidential debate :D
    So that world is in my rear view mirror - but if I hadn’t gotten banned at least a couple of times I’d probably be kicking myself for not trying hard enough!

    OH HAPPY DAY!

    I'm not a "fire Billy" guy and I don't have time to keep up with all these threads. Can someone tell me the current status of Billy's employment, firing, etc? I think we have too much time and $$ invested in him and he is starting to show results in the past couple games. I was a soph during 0-10-1 so I know the pain, believe me, I know the pain.....

    About the response i would expect when you encounter an uncomfortable truth

    Maybe you should stick to fantasy football or madden if the above is the extent of your understanding of roster management.

    There is no refuting DMs negative influence on the roster especially the OL and defense. Your apparent understanding/experience of building a roster is nonexistent outside of parroting go buy them its all nil.

    If you want to make a better argument try typing in all caps. Im out, turn off the lights when you leave

    It’s easy to tell yourself that we are not getting commits because of money only right. Couldn’t be that maybe players don’t want to play for a coach with such a miserable record.

    You have a serious misunderstanding of thruth and opinion. I agree Mullen failed in recruiting and building the program and needed to be fired. That changes nothing about how painfully wrong your previous post was in which I replied. It also doesn't change Napier's failings or this weird view that he has had everything in the world stacked against him. He has had the best facilities, largest staff, highest salary, recruiting budget etc.

    I just gave up trying to use rational arguments when you have no intention of ever changing your mind or admitting you were wrong. I may as well be trying to reason with a teee stump.

    Enjoy your preceived victory in your head because clearly the only truth in the world is what you believe to be so.

    Sure thats an issue but we arent #50 bad as we are doing in recruiting. Money is on hold until decisions are made.

    Being in the top 12 should be expected more often than not at Florida. Hopefully we get there soon and continue to assend. DJ looks like a championship qb in the making. Hes green still but he has two more years. I hope this injury is just a freak thing and he can stay healthy.

    The mental gymnastics that a 10 win season is whatever at FSU but at 7-5 Billy is a miracle worker. For just a minute, step back and critically think about what that says about the state of the two programs.
