It took a while but this team sometimes looks like a top 10 team. I love what I see with these young stars. I’d be fine giving Napier next year based on what I’ve seen since the bye week. But would also be fine I suppose if they got a home run hire.
Plus what he adds? We must remember all the fire napier fans have a HUGE negative for recruit/retention of players. Who entertains an offer to play 2 games for him next year then trust his future to the port? The way I see it is our biggest hurdles isn't players, coaches or recruiting. It's negativity and impatient fans.
@@jamesgarrett2129 Right? I've been a Gator fan for over 40 years, and this is the worst ever 3 year stretch that I can remember. It isn't bad play calling and a terrible coach, it's all the fan's fault! Who knew? Can't recruit, awful gameday coach, and can't develop players. No fire in him at all. But hey, as long as we get a few moral victories, who really cares about winning games? I would say that just being like Vanderbilt is now the standard to people who blame it on the fans, but Vandy can actually win against good teams now. But hey, Billy's a nice guy and zero winning seasons for the Gators is just the fault of the fans!! Are you kidding me???
So your standard for the Gators includes being competitive and having moral victories but not winning? At the rate of speed of improvement, Napier might have a winning season in about 3 years. Actually, I don't think Napier will EVER have a winning season at UF. Not this year, next or 5 years from now. He's never been the right guy for the job and I've said that from day 1.
I’m not a Florida fan, I say yall give him at least one more year. Like you said Florida is getting better, just keep DJ healthy cus that’s definitely yalls qb 1 for the future! Very talented indeed!
Nah not all Gator Nation.. I’m not to thrilled on 3 straight losing seasons, looking at 4 now. Billy Bob is not a fit at ALL!!! Need a spread open offense, you know that’s worked in the past?
I’m starting to get that feeling, the bad luck is gonna change, it’s just the odds!! The center just happens to mess up on the FG HIKE for THE only time in his life 🤔. DJ slips , OUT,, players just slipping, 3-4 secondary players just happen to get injured in one game. ETC ETC. Not bad calls, no really stupid decisions just bad luck. It’s our GATORS time for the ball to bounce our way. Texas Beware, HERE COME THE GATORS!! Go GATORS!!
Players have been slipping all year even at home. I was at a BWW for the Miami game and people were yelling for us to remove our slippers and put on some real shoes. We slip more at home than the visitors. Probably need to look at the equipment manager or team. There was one key bad call at the 4 minute mark. It was a bonehead stupid call. We had been moving the ball on Georgia on the ground, actually scored a TD on the drive before 30 yards on 4 carries including the 15 yd TD run. We had them on their heels and what do we do when we get the ball back, we throw a naked bootleg with a kid that has thrown 25 passes since high school. It's one thing to ask your 5 star backup to attempt it, it's another thing to let your 3rd string walk-on, who couldn't make a roster in the group of 5 attempt that against one of the best defenses in the FBS.
If Lagway has a hamstring injury, I doubt he SHOULD play a week later. It’s a risk to his full recovery. As for coach, it seems Nape is a good coach whose best place may not be in power 4.
That's a dumb reason NOT to get rid of coach. The focus 1st should be on having the right guy and winning! If you win the recruiting and portal will take care of itself!
Gator nation continues to get smacked around. Hang in there. Looking like they’re moving in the right direction. Highly impressed with the players. Thinking it would be wise to wait till DJ is 💯. We can still make a decent bowl game. Moreover, need to have everybody 💯 for next season. No need to further an injury. Go 🐊. Excited about the future. Finally.
Ya lets tear it all down alli & wait a cpl more years to see if next coach is better. Or we can give one more year in anticipation that what we been seeing the past 4 weeks w dj gets even better ( which it will ) u guys have no vision its crazy to me
I really do feel like if we had started Lagway in week 1, and he never gets injured, I see 1 or MAYBE 2 losses right now...... I see us in 1st in the SEC East and a top 15 team in the country ...... for those reasons, I want to keep Billy 1 more year so that we DONT lose Lagway and this young core group of guys ...... I don't think my heart can handle the news of Lagway hitting the transfer portal, keep Napier 1 more year
Hey, I went to the Patreon page to get the Lagway info but it said I had to become a member to access the info. Could you correct that mistake cause you didn't imply that in the you tube video
You mentioned all the ifs in the season and ifs bring us to where we are now. Still working on our third losing season under Napier. Also, you mentioned you don’t blame the coaches for what happened during the Georgia game. Have you ever considered that the numerous injuries the team has experienced this season and during the Georgia game be a product of Napier’s strength and conditioning program or lack there of?
I don't understand Webb and Wilson. On and off the availability list and now both out for the year. I don't expect either one of them back next year. Would like to see Lagway back for LSU, but frankly with the games Napier plays with the injury report, who knows? Might show him as a game time decision all the way to FSU. Napier needs to win at least six games. Two out of three of LSU, OLE MISS, AND FSU. That's it.
This is somewhat similar to how it was throughout the '80s. A successful season sprinkled here & there. Alot of misery with uga & fsu. It WILL change for the better. When it does, make sure to rub salt in as many faces as possible. Patience...
I still think it's time to move on at seasons end 1-9 in rivalry games under 500 record in 3 years our standard can't be oh they played hard smh this is Florida!!! Lane Kiffin, Ryan Day Curt Cignetti Lanes my top choice but go get one!!!!
I can think of a good excuse for every team that has failed this year. A lot of gator fans are giving these same excuses. Excuses and low expectations are killing us. The right time to fire Napier is when the right replacement is available. Period.
It’s year three and we are 10 weeks in and we aren’t even in the top 25 in the nation. Our university has become so mediocre at football . and we don’t even have a top 10 recruiting class. Please tell me how you justify not cutting bait with this coach with the body of work so far. our university procrastinated about building facilities and about making football priority, and it has cost us dearly . Step up to the plate find the best possible coach you can get your hands on with proven experience, and hit a home run or we will stay right where we are for years.. billy’s a nice guy, but he ain’t it...... aren’t we all tired of having coaches practice at being good coaches with our historic football program? It took Spurrier years to get us where we needed to be, and then Meyer took us even higher.. the UAA has decided to take that blood sweat and tears of previous players and throw it in the garbage. It’s not right and none of us deserve it..
Florida continues to play games and put it's self behind! All the money we have to not make changes is baffling to me, I mean if they don't plan to keep the guy what's the hold up?
The new rule went into effect immediately for the 2024 college football season. However, the rule still limits players to play up to four games in a season to maintain their redshirt eligibility.
@@AdamMurr-l6q my thing is, if we fire Billy then we start all the way over. I know as gators we expect way more than we have been getting. But the team has been improving. If we fire Billy we lose everything. And the next coach will have to start from the ground up and we will be screaming to fire the next guy after 3 years. Just my thought process.
Problem is the fanbase, Stricklin. Fans are screamimg fire Billy like Lane Is 100 percent guaranteed coming here. Well what if that doesnt happen? Then your screwed even worse for firing a coach with no coach out there is gonna be the messiah
Let's say this. What if lagway transfers is florida still good? What if he gets hurt is florida still good? Can we still win with an okay quarterback answer is no so that's your answer fire billy
It takes longer than four years to re-construct a program people start thinking logically. You do not want to start over again. He is doing better. Let it go.
Using Anthony Richardson in the NFL and you know his last coach for Florida was the same coach that’s coaching Lagway now I don’t want him to ruin Lagway. I think Leg we can develop way better under Dan Lanning in Oregon Dj if you watch this show and if you watching this show and reading the comments, give Dj Lagway a call or got that Nike check money, Dj Lagway get them out of Florida
If I was Dj Lagway, I will be looking at the Oregon ducks to go play for Dan Lanning. They got way more talent they recruiting that way more elite level and then the next three years of his college career. He’ll win a Heisman over there at Florida they’re gonna lose some games. They’re gonna win some games but he never gonna play for national championship because they just not recruiting elite level enough, and that’s just me being a true fan and want the best for Dj Lagway
If we don’t give Napier another year, we’ll be a third rate team for another 10 years. We’ve got to give him four years. What coach wants to come to the schizo university of SEC coaches?
You can say a lot about the UGA game, but definitely not that bad coaching was the problem. That was the best coached las two minutes of the first half we’ve ever seen from him, and the defense was more than solid.
Napier is not te guy! Not even close to an elite recruiter! Terrible GameDay coach! He is not even a player developer. He should have been fired last year. We need a winner! #curtcignetti to UF!
I don't think we are where we need to be Carson Beck gave us 10 points off of his turn overs if it wasn't for his bad throws 10 points may have been all we would have scored
It took a while but this team sometimes looks like a top 10 team. I love what I see with these young stars. I’d be fine giving Napier next year based on what I’ve seen since the bye week. But would also be fine I suppose if they got a home run hire.

@@pocketaces6756 spot on! Napier is Butch Jones 2.0. In the famous words of Herm Edwards “You play to win the game”! Except, if you’re UF Football!
@@MikeM-vx8hf 💯💯💯 Exactly. People saying it is the fans' fault that he can't have one winning season is some first class victim blaming for sure.
I support napier coming back because the team is getting better
Me too. He hasn’t given up on the team and the team hasn’t given up on him.
So your standard for the Gators includes being competitive and having moral victories but not winning? At the rate of speed of improvement, Napier might have a winning season in about 3 years.

4-8 incoming.
I’m not a Florida fan, I say yall give him at least one more year. Like you said Florida is getting better, just keep DJ healthy cus that’s definitely yalls qb 1 for the future! Very talented indeed!
@WhitneyGadison1 We have the same schedule next year. No we've seen enough.
Dont fire Napier he is getting way better the players are playing regardless of injury or record i would not let him go
Our GATORS are improved it's not coaches fault we have injuries.
Gator nation is always happy as long as we have DJ lagway. God bless DJ.
Nah not all Gator Nation.. I’m not to thrilled on 3 straight losing seasons, looking at 4 now. Billy Bob is not a fit at ALL!!! Need a spread open offense, you know that’s worked in the past?
I would like to win , I must admit.
Give Napier another year. The defense is looking good. DJ is looking really good and he can lead this team. Got to give it more time to cook.
Ali we fired Dan Mullen becuase he quit!! Dude was checked out
That’s one reason. The team quit on him. The recruiting he recruited stars that other teams didn’t want.
Why would he want to stay with all the crying after his successful seasons?
I’m starting to get that feeling, the bad luck is gonna change, it’s just the odds!!
The center just happens to mess up on the FG HIKE for THE only time in his life 🤔.
DJ slips , OUT,, players just slipping, 3-4 secondary players just happen to get injured in one game. ETC ETC.
Not bad calls, no really stupid decisions just bad luck.
It’s our GATORS time for the ball to bounce our way. Texas Beware,
HERE COME THE GATORS!!

As a Florida fan if they’re talking about him playing this weekend, I disagree because he needs to recover. We don’t need him to be banged up.
I watch you on UA-cam so I don’t need to check Patreon. Guess I’ll wait until it pops up elsewhere. Go Gators!😊
Tough...on one hand, gotta protect Lagway...on another...it's tough for him not to play a big game in his home state. Best of luck this Sat!
If Lagway has a hamstring injury, I doubt he SHOULD play a week later. It’s a risk to his full recovery. As for coach, it seems Nape is a good coach whose best place may not be in power 4.
Getting rid of Napier is a mistake. Kids will be hitting the portal
That's a dumb reason NOT to get rid of coach. The focus 1st should be on having the right guy and winning! If you win the recruiting and portal will take care of itself!
DJ is going to bring in the recruits who wouldn’t want to play with him????????????????!?!

If you consider spending Christmas holiday in Shreveport decent.

Hammys are never fun. I expect this week is no way. Maybe LSU. We want him healthy ;)
I really do feel like if we had started Lagway in week 1, and he never gets injured, I see 1 or MAYBE 2 losses right now......

Never hurts to dream…and in this case dream BIG 😂! What if…🤷🏻♂️ You’d probably go 15-0 and Lagway would win the Heisman! You Gayturds trip me out😂😂😂
Uhhhhh…there is no sec east anymore
Hey, I went to the Patreon page to get the Lagway info but it said I had to become a member to access the info. Could you correct that mistake cause you didn't imply that in the you tube video
Good effort despite injuries. Kinda like Georgia faced in 2020.
ali hits it dead on here! Finally someone with some intelligence on the current situation!
He shouldn't play this week anyway. Let him rest
You mentioned all the ifs in the season and ifs bring us to where we are now. Still working on our third losing season under Napier. Also, you mentioned you don’t blame the coaches for what happened during the Georgia game. Have you ever considered that the numerous injuries the team has experienced this season and during the Georgia game be a product of Napier’s strength and conditioning program or lack there of?
LIKE NAPIER IS NOT A GOOD RECRUITER HES OKAY. HES NOT A GAME DAY COACH. AND HE DEFINITELY ISNT TAKINGING US TO A CHAMPIONSHIP
Gators fan here got no expectations for us so I ain’t stressing over it
Agreed Ali. Those kids played their tail off last few weeks
No reason for lagway to play against Texas
If you was unsure about who the coach was gonna be would you commit?
I want Billy over Lane 🤷🏾♂️
Wow, it’s been since 2010 that the reptiles have been competitive.
Where have you been. Finished 2019 ranked 6th in the nation
I don't understand Webb and Wilson. On and off the availability list and now both out for the year. I don't expect either one of them back next year. Would like to see Lagway back for LSU, but frankly with the games Napier plays with the injury report, who knows? Might show him as a game time decision all the way to FSU. Napier needs to win at least six games. Two out of three of LSU, OLE MISS, AND FSU. That's it.
Also idk that Ive seen a player labeled “questionable” from this staff actually play. Maybe questionable how much longer they are out.
WE ALSO COMPLAIN THAT THE SCHEDULE IS HARD. GUESS WHAT, IF UF WAS GOOD WOULD WE BE COMPLAINING AT ALL?
Texas is not preparing for Lagway anymore they ain't dumb they no he ain't playing
So what tho, james Franklin is like 1-23 vs big rivals yet still employed. No firing in sight. No fans screaming for his head
As soon as they hire a top tier coach not a coach who’s trying to break into the big time.
Keep Napier!!!!
Texas is not worried about Florida at all 🤣😂
So let's say Napier wins one extra game a year does that mean we are winning? That we are a good team?
This is somewhat similar to how it was throughout the '80s. A successful season sprinkled here & there. Alot of misery with uga & fsu. It WILL change for the better. When it does, make sure to rub salt in as many faces as possible. Patience...
Why would the top recruits join napier with all the negative talk and not knowing if he will be there next year? Keep him
I still think it's time to move on at seasons end 1-9 in rivalry games under 500 record in 3 years our standard can't be oh they played hard smh this is Florida!!! Lane Kiffin, Ryan Day Curt Cignetti Lanes my top choice but go get one!!!!
Yeah but we don’t now what we don’t know either. I’m not sure that’s a valid argument.
There is no way Florida is winning any of these next three SEC games with Aidan Warner at quarterback!
Are the money people still onboard with making a change?
I can think of a good excuse for every team that has failed this year. A lot of gator fans are giving these same excuses. Excuses and low expectations are killing us. The right time to fire Napier is when the right replacement is available. Period.
WHAT IF WE GIVE NAPIER A 4TH YEAR BECAUSE OF LAGWAY AND HE GETS HURT AGAIN? IF HE WAS A GOOD RECRUITER WE WOULD HAVE GOOD BACKUPS
"Ive been told"...... punt it away...

Na texas isnt fooled when he was carted off the field, if that is truly needed hes not back in a week or even two.
The reason his future class is so dim it’s due to Napier position might be done.
We are asking a lot out of 3rd stream quarterback.

I say wait until you have a verified head coach with plenty experience in the power 4 then fire him
The gators are winning??? So winning 6 games is being satisfied lmao...... keep billy for EVERRRRRRR
Georgia fan here . . . I honestly came here wondering if perhaps the "bad news" about Napier was that his contract got extended . . .

In a nutshell plus recruiting woes he gotta go!

Questioning a players injury for selfish reasons. 🗑 take
The fact that you gotta keep on saying if we would’ve did this, and if we would’ve did that if we would’ve beat Georgia, he got to go
He will not!
No, one cares of a punters experience 😂😂 u dont have Meyer.....
Napier couldn't win if Patrick Mahomes and Dhop joined the team
Exactly
Facts!
Ur an idiot
You can say a lot about the UGA game, but definitely not that bad coaching was the problem.
That was the best coached las two minutes of the first half we’ve ever seen from him, and the defense was more than solid.
Especially then isn’t that guy in the wwe?
FIRE BILLY NAPIER. EVEN IF HE WINS 2 GAMES WHY SHOULD WE BE HAPPY THAT THE GATORS ARE 6-6 TO HIVE A 4TH YEAR? WE ALSO CANT BASED THINGS OFF OF LAGWAY
Trump winning makes bad news for Gator football easier! No to mention the basketball team looks promising! GO GATORS!
Napier is not te guy! Not even close to an elite recruiter! Terrible GameDay coach! He is not even a player developer. He should have been fired last year. We need a winner! #curtcignetti to UF!
LETS DO A VOTE. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU THINK OR TRUST THAT NAPIER CAN HELP THE GATORS WHEN A CHAMPIONSHIP? 😂 EXACTLY
I don't think we are where we need to be Carson Beck gave us 10 points off of his turn overs if it wasn't for his bad throws 10 points may have been all we would have scored
Fire sunbelt billyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I hate that you're always towing the anti Napier line. Its always the "yeah but" argument. Instead of just focusing on the current state of the team.

UF is cursed and better renew their contract with lucy. Silk on Stadium and Gale said nothing but the mf damn truth about uf as a whole.
