99% of this is DEFENSE. The Defense lost us at a min 3 games last year (Kentucky, Mizzou and Arkansas). Napiers offense average 29pts a game with a below average OL. If the Defense improves, we win at least 7 games. Just my opinion.
I don't disagree about the defense but 29 points a game in today's CFB is around average Napier also needs to clean up the mental errors and penalties. Plus, stop making bad decisions at critical points in the game
The penalties and bad decisions need to stop, however, I expect this year’s offense to step up considering the O-Line is primed to be a Top 10 national unit. Mertz took almost 40 sacks last year. If we can halve that and can run the ball well, I see that 29 ppg moving up substantially
Thanks for speaking grammatically correct English . Yes we noticed , great job not ending every sentence with the word at, like everyone else on UA-cam. Very professional.
If Florida's defense improves and our offense gets even a little better and with Gram Mertz coming back it should, we have a good shot at winning 8 games during the regular season and with a bowl game win is 9 for the season. Our recruiting will improve, we will be championship contenders sooner than most people think. Go Gators.
I think patience is fine IF Napier can get organized. 10 men on the field repeatedly is inexcusable in year 1, it's a firable offense in year 3 and, sadly, we already saw it in the spring game.
I keep hearing and I know it is words that this team is like a sleeping giant this year. Destroy Miami and destroy Texas AM and Kentucky. Things will change quickly. UCF in there too. I really belive Napier will be fine. 2025 recruiting. Watch what is coming in. 2026 as well. I like a 8 win maybe 9 win team this year. Take back the swamp. Everything else will fall into place .
5:26 Ryan Day coming here because he's frustrated with the criticism he's getting at Ohio State would be like someone saying it's too expensive to live in CA and then moving to New York City. As for this issue of Napier's future... I wish people would stop saying wins, losses, bowl games, blah blah blah. You build a house with pieces of wood...or with bricks...or if you're in FL, with cinder blocks. If you want to know how good the house is going to be, you look at the bricks, and you look at the craftsmanship the builder is employing as they build. You'll see the quality in each brick as the house is built, long before the house is complete. The issue here is not whether we win 6 games or 7 or 8, and it's not whether we make a bowl or not. It's whether we're using quality bricks. And it's whether we're employing good building techniques as we put those bricks together. You can lose 6 games and say "Yeah...we played like half the top 10..." and it's real. But how do you explain losing to Kentucky? How do you explain giving up 329 rushing yards to a team that was 94th in Rushing? How do you explain Etienne getting less carries than Montrell and then going to start for UGA? How do you explain Tre only getting 4 touches against Utah...and 2 of those were a jet sweep run and a 2-point conversion? How do you explain double 3s on the field? How do you explain the defense only getting 7 turnovers the entire season? You can't run around talking about how you're DBU and then be 83rd in Pass D. Stop talking about win totals. We're still building the house, so talk about the bricks. Do the fundamentals. Beat the teams you should beat. Show improvement. Those are how you build a program. Wins are coincidental, and they follow when you're doing it right. Defense: Make a play. Beat Kentucky. Aidan Mizell.
Hurricanes loaded up on solid portal players, Florida will be much better this year. €ye would not be surprised, if the Gators win 9, 10 or even 11 games this year. 11 is unlikely due to the strength of schedule, but with that level of talent it is feasible.
All the talk and hype is meaningless. The business of Gator football is winning. Period. Napier has not won on the field and even worse he’s allowed FSU to gain ground. Inexcusable. 8 wins counting a Bowl Game or Napier and Stricklin have to go.
It is always about July when the Simple BiLLLLLLLy hive switch from "we are going to surprise everyone" to "we need patience for yet another losing season". It never ends with Cajun Taggart.
The hell with Ryan Day....if we are looking for the next Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Urban Meyer Throw the house at ONE GUY from that OSU staff Brian freaking Hartline You will have everyone in the country on offense wanting to come play for the Gators
Saving 25 million firing fee can buy top talent for Lagway. A top QB is the key chess piece and UF has one. The up side of UF's back loaded schedule is if UF pulls 2 upsets in the second half it gives hope. Be patient.
See what Napier can do with Lagway and the saved 25 million. If Napier fails in 2025 then firing cost drops to 20 million. Shows future coach hires that UF will give them time to put their system in.
Will needs to work on his math. If UF pays 25 million to fire Napier that is 25 less that can go toward top talent to surround Lagway. If 6-6 you keep Napier
To be honest… if Coach Napier hasn’t truly figured out that we need to beat our in State rival UM right out of the gate this season opener in the Swamp… then he’s pretty much toast. Unless he somehow gets at minimal 7 wins this year… which would be highly unlikely…
And it confirmed what I have been saying for 1+ years, Napier is selling HOPE and this is it. Eventually, recruits wont believe in Napier or the Hope. Then he drops bigger bags for these players and over bids them. The only reason why his recruiting class is doing good. And you can add Norvell to this list of coaches developing players for the next step. How conveniently he was not mentioned lol.
I ain’t on the fire Napier train but I still ain’t liking our chances this season. With a tough brutal schedule we got coming off of back to back losing seasons, I think this gators football team is in trouble
We have to stop all this firing billy talk. Hes not going anywhere and that kind of talk isnt going to help Fla at all. Until it happens talk about the team we have this year and the schedule
Be patient. Miami is loving the easy State of Miami recruit pickin's. Then the transfers available with each dismal season and coach firings. Next you'll waste 5 more years with Rancid Prime.
Yeah... because people are knocking down his door to coach now! Not one college or NFL teak hS come knocking even though he's a self proclaimed QB whisperer. Which is funny because he played Jones over Richardson & Franks over Trask. And former players will tell you everyone associated with the Gators knew Trask was better. No one will hire him, because they know he destroyed the team & doesn't recruit! Apparently you're the only one who doesn't know!!
@@markvanetten314 Billy Napier should not take this long to build a program. Not these days. TN had not won 11 games since 2001 and Heupel did it in 2 years.
Napier sucks as a head coach in the SEC and has no business being the head coach at U.F. He should of been fired already and replaced with a proven winner

I agree with all of ur points
In addition to losing us games they also handed Jayden Daniel’s the Heisman and put up literally the worst defensive performance in school history
@@WalkerSportsLounge The thing is if your defense is poor, the offense just doesn't get to see as much time on the field.
It’s not about how many games that Napier win, it’s about how well the team plays.
I about spit my drink out when I heard Ryan Day as an elite coach. The only reason Day is considered an elite coach is because he came in after Urban!
Muschamp also came in after Urban nobody called him an elite coach
@@VincentHardawayUrban had been an Elite coach
Not a Buckeyes fan but damn. Ryan Day puts out some damn good teams.
@@BraylinFrancis No $h!t... I see you don't read and comprehend well. The comment was about a coach coming in behind Urban....

Great interview! #BillyIsBuilding #DarkAli
Will !!!!! Ali-Gator!!!! 🐊Gator Nation loves you guys!!!
as of right now Miami is FAVORED over UF in the SWAMP.. something has to change drastically, and fast.

Nice try FSU fan lol
Every game we lost last year was because of the defense
And piss poor game management. And a mediocre at best offense.
What about the games where the offense scored 20 or less?
I love the digital copy of the magazine. I'm definitely getting the hard copy
thanks for the video
They need to at least go 500. This year with the crazy schedule. Then it's all DJ next year.
We do this every year. The culture has changed at UF. They don’t care about athletics like they used to.
I’m wanting a bowl game and winning it. Stability has to start paying off.
Geez let the defense improve!!
A Bowl game 😂😂😂😂 NAW If we ain't competing for the SEC championship or the Natty we don't need it !!!!
The hell with Ryan Day....if we are looking for the next Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Urban Meyer
Throw the house at ONE GUY from that OSU staff
Brian freaking Hartline
You will have everyone in the country on offense wanting to come play for the Gators
Will Miles is pretty good. It would be worthwhile to schedule him on your podcast weekly.

Im gonna say this right now... if we would have stuck with Will Muschamp a little longer...and gave him more time
We would be Georgia right now
One game at a time. Miami wants to be a problem in the Swamp. Defense must step up to diffuse Super Mario.
Go Gators 🐊
Florida's best coach NO DOUBT is SPURRIER,You got to have someone with skin in the Game,Mertz is gonna ball out,this year and Lagway after wards
Go Georgia Bulldogs and future Georgia Bulldogs 🏈🏈🏈

Ryan Day please..you have no clue of what you talking about😂😂😂
Revenue will make all decisions about coaching changes. If revenue drops there will be a change.
It is a business decision. Along with that, balance it with the buy-out for Napier, plus the buy- out + new super high salary to the new guy.
Ryan Day is an elite coach? Come on now, Will.
Fire the clown show that is Billy Napier...
3-9

Napier played more young players than any team last year. Results in mistakes. But gained experience will help UF going forward.
