I agree 100% with Josh; Kiffin would be the guy and as you pointed out if he could get commitment on the NIL then I absolutely believe his ego would jump at the opportunity to come to Gainesville
Like he would leave OM for Florida 😂😂😂😂😂. Ole Miss is 6th in NIl and about to be in the playoff after an 11 win season and NY6 trophy. Hes dominating at OM and one of the highest paid coaches in the country. Y'all are dipshiitts.
Fun Fact: Kiffin is a Florida man in heart! His Dad Created Genius Defenses in Tampa, and Lane worked as a cook at Hooters on Hillsborough Ave in Tampa!!!
Kiffin is a proven winner in the SEC! Napier was a swing and miss and he isn't Myer. Lane would have an immediate impact, keep recruiting intact and create hope in Gator Nation.
Nobody talks about why Kiffen WOULD NOT take the Florida job. 1. He will never be fired at Ole Miss. Remember, he's gone through Tennessee & USC. He knows these type of programs have no patience. Hell, Florida fired a coach for having a bad year. 2. He won't make more money at Florida. If anything, he'll use the Florida job to get a raise at Ole Miss, but that's it. 3. They'll name the stadium after Kiffin at Ole Miss. Do you think they'll name the swamp after Kiffin? Nope. At Florida he'll just be another in a string of coaches. At Ole Miss, he'll leave a legacy that his children and grand children can see. Buildings, streets, programs, and the stadium named after Kiffin. 4. Kiffin has broken the code at Ole Miss. 20 years ago, I'd agree that Ole Miss could never win a national championship. But, Kiffin has figured out the new rules and made Ole Miss into a national power. At this point in time, I'm not sure Florida has a higher ceiling than Ole Miss.
1. Any coach can be fired. This is a what have you done for me lately business. JFYI Mullen wasn't fired for one bad year. There were a multitude of things going wrong behind the scenes. 2. Florida can absolutely pay him more if they wanted to. 3. This is a bad argument. Alabama, OSU, and other powers have no problem getting great coaches. Florida only has 2. 4. Ole Miss is not a powerhouse and it'd take multiple titles to be even considered that lol. But he's done a helluva job and your future is bright because he ain't leaving a great situation he's in right now. Enjoy it. I've learned over 40 years these seasons are rare. I don't hate Ole Miss and I root for them 90% of the time. But again he's happy where he's at, you can tell. 👍
I, along with many others, agree that Stricklin must go with Billy! They are both football "Losers". Don't know that Kiffin is the answer, he jumps around more than a Southern bullfog. If hired by UF, how long would his tenure last?? Hopefully, the UF selection committee will find & hire a hungry, dynamic proven coach with a winning pedigree. GO GATORS!
@@rodkestler2894 He's been at OM 5 years. That's not jumping around. Also, he achived big success WAAAY too young, and as he admits he made some stupid decisions. But he's a mature man now, and his priorities have changed (which he also admits). He's in a good place, and he's young enough to wait for another job if he wants. Something no one is talking about is the hiring timeline. I just don't see Kiffin jumping ship before the playoffs - assuming OM makes the playoffs. I'm the rare Rebel fan that isn't certain we'll reach that goal. In that case, things may change quickly.
I think Lane would absolutely coach at Florida, on one condition.....major changes in the UAA. They will make it difficult for any coach to be successful at FL.
Keep doing your thing Ms. Ali. I also realized that I sat 2 rows behind y’all at the game this past Saturday. I wanted to speak, but I respect family time. Plus I met Eric when I was a kid, would have been cool to talk to y’all. 🐊
I've been. Telling you for the last 2 years.Billie neighbors not the guy but because of whatever money he can't you under the table you've been supporting this guy glad to see you coming on this side of the fence
Lane Kiffin's head coaching record proves he's the type of coach you want if you're not wanting to build a Championship Program! Former Gator QB Kerwin Bell would build a CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM at UF! His offenses consistently lead the nation. He's won wherever he's been given the opportunity to coach regardless of the circumstances. Including a DII National Championship!
I keep hearing that "Florida knows what it takes to win because we have been there before," but "who" is this that knows how to win? Just because we have signs in our stadium that speak to a bygone era, doesn't mean we have people at the University who know how to do it again. The memory of victory lies in our fanbase, and Napier et. al., if he has proven one thing, he doesn't care to hear from the fanbase.
Hey Ali. Do you have any inside scoop on a rumor surrounding Ron Roberts? I've seen on X that some UF fans read that Roberts may have upset some of the players
Except for the Vols game- I'm Rooting for Gators the rest of the way ! I was sad to see U so sad in your video after the A & M loss. Gators gotta turn it around ! 😊 👍
I do find it curious that there are no comments from Lane Kiffin stating he is not interested. Still, there is only one coach right now. Until something ACTUALLY happens, everything is just speculation
I completely agree with you about Lane Kiffin. However, do you really think our AD will hire him? Do you think we need a new AD, so we can get Lane Kiffin?
Billy was at the press conference. I don’t think he’s getting fired. That was the thing I was getting at. Who’s going to coach the team the rest of the season if we fire him now? He might not get fired during the season regardless of how it goes. I just hope somehow we can win six games and get bowl eligible. With that schedule, that would be a success.
I am surprised JAKE was not corrected. When did Tennessee fire Kiffen on the tarmac?????? He quit Tennessee to go to USC, and he wasn't fired. Coach Sark was fired on the tarmac by USC because of alcoholism. I'm glad Sark is much better now and successful. BTW Lane was not a disaster at Tennessee they are just mad that he left for a better job. Now would Lane come to Florida, yep! He coached at FAU. Why? Because he couldnt get the Canes or Gators to give him a shit back then. Lane would be a home run hire.
Its not just a paycheck issue. It's issue of also Ole Miss will pay and do whatever Lane needs to make themselves a contender. UF has significantly more money than Ole Miss has ever had and still can't do that now. That shows problems in the program. Unattractive program, not worth the headache.
@@gatorguysix7631Yea we will dipshiitt. Embarrassing how much y'all are hoping for Lane rn but also hilarious. Florida is a DISASTER why would Lane want to come coach that dumpster fire?
Gator undergrad/Miami grad school alumni here. I root for both of my schools, except for the rare times when they play each other, lol. If you use Cristobal as an example of how to turn a program around, you absolutely have to invest in a big name coach. Not only that, you have to drop the conservatism that is killing the Gators in this NIL era. So Cristobal rebuilt Miami by starting with the trenches. That’s where his focus was for the first 2 years. Then he added a good QB and a few RBs and WRs last portal periods and it shows up on the field. Cam Ward was running for his life half the time behind a pitiful OL at Washington State. When you have the trenches nailed down, the skill players in the portal know they can thrive.
If Florida is smart yall should know Lane aint leaving Ole Miss, but a home run hire would be Bill O'Brien. What he did at Penn state and now is doing at Boston college is ex of how underrated of a coach he is
You make some good points, and obviously the idea makes you do back-flips, lol, but I just don't see it. Look at how many jobs have come open in the last 5 years that Lane didn't take. And I'm not sure in this new age of NIL and transfers that UF offers that much more potential than OM. The biggest benefit of a program like UF is recruiting. But old-school recruiting doesn't carry the weight it used to. Lane knows this better than anyone. He's adopted the TP better than any coach in the country. Look at what's he's assembled in just a couple years. I believe Lane thinks he can do that every year. AND he landed a top-2 defensive line recruiting class. He likes Oxford. His kids love oxford. His brother is building a house there. He can take his jet to Florida for fun in the sun anytime he wants. Keith Carter leaves Lane to his own devices and gives him literally everything he's asked for. He's already making top-10 money, and he's about to get another raise. I do not mean this to offend. I respect UF...but I don't think you guys realize just how far behind yall have fallen. (really hope that doesn't start nasty replies).
I Still want Charlie Strong!!! He gave us an Elite Defense and is great at recruiting....unfortunately I think the Texas job was too big for him and USF is too small of a school for him to pull great talent.
Okay…….I’m hearing Napier is remaining the head coach the remainder of the season because there’s no one on staff right now capable of taking over as interim head coach. Also, the next head coach will NOT be hired by Strickland. The boosters will make the decision on who they want hired. I’m also hearing Kiffin’s agent, Jimmy Sexton, is perpetuating the Kiffin to Florida talk, that actually started with Paul Finebaum, to get a couple million more out of Ole Miss for him to stay. So if UF hires a new coach it’s likely going to be someone else because Kiffin is actually pretty happy where he is, and isn’t interested in doing a rebuild .
I'm not sold on Kiffin. He failed in Oakland. He failed at Tennessee. He failed BIG at USC. He's 1-19 in games against teams that finished with at least 9 wins. The only positive is that he was successful as Saban's OC.
This is what scares me. He hasn't actually won anything!!!! He beats the teams he supposed to but never been able to push beyond that. That being said I'm ok with him her.
Lane went all in this year with this Ole Miss team, anything less than a naddy and he’s out. Makes sense to rebuild at a bigger program and most definitely a more prestige school. Just the history alone with Kiffin would make this a great hire and would bring some excitement back into the program. The thought of his offense in the swamp sounds pretty damn good to me. Don’t forget that he married and divorced a boosters daughter at Florida, not sure if that would sway any decisions but you never know.
Keep on hoping dipshiitt he aint leaving. Y'all REALLY think hes gonna leave mid season when they fire Billy? He's literally gonna make the playoff and has the best offense in the country AGAIN and the defense still hasnt given up a TD. Also #6 in the country in NIL. Why would he leave all that for a dumpster fire program? One in court because of its NIL 😂😂😂😂. He wouldn't.
@@BarbaraRay-m4r read the comment again numb nuts!! Never said he would leave mid year and who YF is YALL. That was MY opinion and it makes me happy knowing that upsets you CupCake🫵!!!Typical GatorBait!! @FEhashtag
Lane learned a lot from Saban and would be a great hire but they going to have to spend some money to get him. Lane will be the highest paid coach in football
Plus, I miss that Gator Visor out there in the Swamp torching opposition. You pair him with Glenn Schumann on Defensive side WOA GATORNATION!! WE WOULD BE A JUGGERNAUT. LETS GO GET US SOME REAL DEAL GATOR COACHES THAT TAKE US TO THE PROMISE LAND NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, A DYNASTY!
Im not sold on Lane as many has already stated, he always chokes in the big games and is only average at recruiting. Would Lane be better than what we have now, absolutely but would he be able to build us back to NC status??
Any guesstimates on how much $$$ it will cost to buy him out? And that's on top of what Billy has to be paid? I have had TWO UGA fans say Kiffin to UF is worrisome for them.
Got to be someone like Lane who can deal with NIL and the transfer portal. For example, we don't want Dabo, even though he has won two natty's, because he can't seem to deal with the portal.
Ole Miss could be on a historic run this year. As the SEC looks now, I don't think they can beat Georgia or Texas. But the run they're on would be historic for Ole Miss. So, would it benefit Florida to wait and let Kiffen have that run and see that championships are harder at Ole Miss to more entice him to come to UF? Or should they make moves now and get it over with? If Billy is fired tomorrow, I assume we would just roll with an interim until the end of the season. So, what damage can Billy do between now and then that an interim wouldn't? So, do they wait till the end of the season or do it soon hoping that Ole Miss doesn't win a national championship this year?
I think the light went on for Lane when he was at FAU. That said, I'd like to see UF get someone that is available now. Throw everything at Meyer, Saban, Spurrier, Stoops, Gruden, Belichick. Get Billy out of the building and get this going with someone new right now, then tell Stricklin that he's out at the end of the calendar year. Use that time for a new AD hire.
My response is: Im ready for an NFL type team manager to handle the part of getting good recruits. Coaches are required to do too much these days. Lets get a manager and also throw in getting a new AD first.
Why the hell would Saban quit Alabama and come to Florida. He isn't meyer. He's already said if he ever coached again it would be at the University of Alabama .
I agree it's always been the trenches that's why marks stoops beats us year in and out look at their lines it's been a problem every since even Dan Mullen we could not run the ball that year and Kyle Trask lit up college football that year until this is fixed we can't compete week in and week out ☝🏽💯
I think Kiffin wants the Florida job. Lane wanted to go to Auburn but his daughter convinced him to stay at Ole Miss. I'm pretty sure he would be the Gator's coach if the family agrees... jmo
Florida's facilities are 5 to 7 years ahead of Ole Miss. Ole Miss needs a new $300M stadium because 60K seats is small for a Top 10 program. Look around the country if you don't believe me. Pretty much the Top 10 have stadiums that seat 80K+ and many cases run over 100K. Sure, 60K can sound loud, but does it generate as much revenue as Tennessee or Florida? Not even close. It's why Florida's football program is ranked in the Top 15 nationally in revenue and Ole Miss isn't even in the Top 30. Ole Miss just doesn't have the $500M to put into the facilities as Florida already has.
I didn’t want Billy Napier to be fired either, I thought he was doing good things. But like Sabin said he’s too nice for the SEC. I think Kiffin would be very volatile coach. Quick to leave if you didn’t like it something. But I don’t know any other coach to hire.
You are either delusional or a rival fan. Nobody has a problem giving an HC time, but you have to see some semblance of progress. This team looks WORSE than when Napier took over, and he's had zero personal growth either.
@@ancho-31337 The Gators need 3 or 4 years to build a team. Urban Meyer or Nick Saban could do it in less time now that they are considered GOAT candidates but Napier or Kiffin or really anyone else is gonna need time.
The next coach needs more than Napier got or at least move money from the huge staff to NIL. One of the reason We stink is the trenches. Yes we aren't developing them but we also need the talented trench monsters!
What concerns me is if we get head over heals in love with Kiffin, what will happen if he doesn't come? In being so Kiffin Gung Ho, will any other coach be treated as nothing more than a consolation prize? I guess it's the "Eggs in one Basket" thing.
Lane has it going his way at Mississippi. He could be a god there over time if he can win 9 or 10 games per year with an occasional playoff birth. He better stay where he is.
Kiffin is the only solution. He checks all the boxes, and we can’t afford another hiring whiff. Dump Napier, get DJ a redshirt, and start the negotiation process.
Would like to see the old ball coach take the reins for the rest of the season and be instrumental in the hiring of the next head coach and staff. Additionally, trench weakness is because our culture is too soft.
The UAA is stuck in the 90's. .."We don't need no dang indoor practice facility"... "We aren't getting into the arms race of college football facilities.."
As a Vols fan you’re going to hear all the discussions about the job and how bad it is. Be patient and you’ll end up with the right guy. Wait until Bama has their issues and then sit back and laugh with us vol fans as they were threatening coaches before it was a thing.
Im a Gator in Tn and your right. Hepul showede he was the right guy how his D played his first year . Hope we beat ya 😂 but F uga I like it when that 3rd game determined the east!
Ali, please stop apologizing for Napier ! It’s a shame we’ve moved on from this years team ! It tell you how much this team sucks ! Who would think the best teams in Florida would be UM, USF, and Central Florida well into the foreseeable future! Face facts, get used to it and embrace it ! Great show !
I agree 100% with Josh; Kiffin would be the guy and as you pointed out if he could get commitment on the NIL then I absolutely believe his ego would jump at the opportunity to come to Gainesville
Like he would leave OM for Florida 😂😂😂😂😂. Ole Miss is 6th in NIl and about to be in the playoff after an 11 win season and NY6 trophy. Hes dominating at OM and one of the highest paid coaches in the country. Y'all are dipshiitts.

Fun Fact: Kiffin is a Florida man in heart! His Dad Created Genius Defenses in Tampa, and Lane worked as a cook at Hooters on Hillsborough Ave in Tampa!!!
Will Lane also work at Spurrier's Grid-Iron Grille to help make ends meet?
Will UF have to buyout both Ole Miss and Hooters for Lane's services?

Logistically it would be hard since he will probably be coaching into January. If that's the case, can Florida wait until then to hire a coach?
What about Bill O'Bryan? He is doing good at Boston college.. he knows what it take to win in college and how to get ready for the pros
IIRC Bama fans didn't like him. But he seems to be doing an exceptional job at BC.

This is what scares me. He hasn't actually won anything!!!! He beats the teams he supposed to but never been able to push beyond that. That being said I'm ok with him her.
He did very well against top level teams without the top level talent . Go look at his records from 2020 till 2023
What’s the alternative though?
@@PitchperfectDG "He beats the teams he supposed to" Brother that's a pipe dream for Florida fans right now
Better question, would the current players be OK with Kiffin? Particularly the good ones.
Lane went all in this year with this Ole Miss team, anything less than a naddy and he’s out. Makes sense to rebuild at a bigger program and most definitely a more prestige school. Just the history alone with Kiffin would make this a great hire and would bring some excitement back into the program. The thought of his offense in the swamp sounds pretty damn good to me. Don’t forget that he married and divorced a boosters daughter at Florida, not sure if that would sway any decisions but you never know.
Keep on hoping dipshiitt he aint leaving. Y'all REALLY think hes gonna leave mid season when they fire Billy? He's literally gonna make the playoff and has the best offense in the country AGAIN and the defense still hasnt given up a TD. Also #6 in the country in NIL. Why would he leave all that for a dumpster fire program? One in court because of its NIL 😂😂😂😂. He wouldn't.
@@BarbaraRay-m4r read the comment again numb nuts!! Never said he would leave mid year and who YF is YALL. That was MY opinion and it makes me happy knowing that upsets you CupCake🫵!!!Typical GatorBait!! @FEhashtag
Lane learned a lot from Saban and would be a great hire but they going to have to spend some money to get him. Lane will be the highest paid coach in football
Plus, I miss that Gator Visor out there in the Swamp torching opposition. You pair him with Glenn Schumann on Defensive side WOA GATORNATION!! WE WOULD BE A JUGGERNAUT. LETS GO GET US SOME REAL DEAL GATOR COACHES THAT TAKE US TO THE PROMISE LAND NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, A DYNASTY!
Im not sold on Lane as many has already stated, he always chokes in the big games and is only average at recruiting. Would Lane be better than what we have now, absolutely but would he be able to build us back to NC status??
Any guesstimates on how much $$$ it will cost to buy him out? And that's on top of what Billy has to be paid? I have had TWO UGA fans say Kiffin to UF is worrisome for them.
🔵BESIDE BEEN PRETTY ALI IS KNOWLEDGEABLE IN FOOTBALL SO SHE SHOULD BE THE HEAD COACH.🔴
This is when you know your done with your current coach when this is the topic. Lol
Steve Spurrier 2.0 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤦🤦🤦🤷🤷🤷oh well atleast Heupel vs Kiffin would be must watch TV 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
You're right, I'd be shocked if Lane Kiffin didn't go to UF.
If Kiffin went to Florida who'd be his DC???
Kiffen would crawl on glass to take the Florida job. If I'm the Fla AD I make Kiffen say no. He could create a monster.
Why would Lane leave a current better program for a rebuild?
Gainesville has 3 Walmarts?
Got to be someone like Lane who can deal with NIL and the transfer portal. For example, we don't want Dabo, even though he has won two natty's, because he can't seem to deal with the portal.
Ole Miss could be on a historic run this year. As the SEC looks now, I don't think they can beat Georgia or Texas. But the run they're on would be historic for Ole Miss. So, would it benefit Florida to wait and let Kiffen have that run and see that championships are harder at Ole Miss to more entice him to come to UF? Or should they make moves now and get it over with? If Billy is fired tomorrow, I assume we would just roll with an interim until the end of the season. So, what damage can Billy do between now and then that an interim wouldn't? So, do they wait till the end of the season or do it soon hoping that Ole Miss doesn't win a national championship this year?
I think the light went on for Lane when he was at FAU. That said, I'd like to see UF get someone that is available now. Throw everything at Meyer, Saban, Spurrier, Stoops, Gruden, Belichick. Get Billy out of the building and get this going with someone new right now, then tell Stricklin that he's out at the end of the calendar year. Use that time for a new AD hire.
I’ll take any of them lol
Are you saying Ogeron's a no go for interim coach?
My response is: Im ready for an NFL type team manager to handle the part of getting good recruits. Coaches are required to do too much these days. Lets get a manager and also throw in getting a new AD first.
I don't know, but I am not a fan of Lane kiffin. However, I am not a fan of losing either. He may actually be a good pick.
Kiffin is the best option if you can’t get Saban to come and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to deal with NIL
Why the hell would Saban quit Alabama and come to Florida. He isn't meyer. He's already said if he ever coached again it would be at the University of Alabama .
We want Lane. I don't even want to think of a plan b. Give him the bag 💰
I agree it's always been the trenches that's why marks stoops beats us year in and out look at their lines it's been a problem every since even Dan Mullen we could not run the ball that year and Kyle Trask lit up college football that year until this is fixed we can't compete week in and week out ☝🏽💯
Bring back the visor Lane train for sure
Bring back " The Ole Ball Coach " Steve Spurrier ! & Tim Tebow as Assistant Coach ! Restore that " Gator Pride " !
It's all about recruiting and Lane K can do that.
I hope we win 8 of the next 9 and this is over
I think Kiffin wants the Florida job. Lane wanted to go to Auburn but his daughter convinced him to stay at Ole Miss. I'm pretty sure he would be the Gator's coach if the family agrees... jmo
Florida's facilities are 5 to 7 years ahead of Ole Miss. Ole Miss needs a new $300M stadium because 60K seats is small for a Top 10 program. Look around the country if you don't believe me. Pretty much the Top 10 have stadiums that seat 80K+ and many cases run over 100K. Sure, 60K can sound loud, but does it generate as much revenue as Tennessee or Florida? Not even close. It's why Florida's football program is ranked in the Top 15 nationally in revenue and Ole Miss isn't even in the Top 30. Ole Miss just doesn't have the $500M to put into the facilities as Florida already has.
I didn’t want Billy Napier to be fired either, I thought he was doing good things. But like Sabin said he’s too nice for the SEC. I think Kiffin would be very volatile coach. Quick to leave if you didn’t like it something. But I don’t know any other coach to hire.
He getting top players there at ol miss but he whould be the best choice
FLA should just add 150 million to your nil funds and stop the coaches "musical chairs without any chairs" which is the Florida Program.
Florida needs to support their coach for a few years. Who wants to go somewhere that only gives you 2 years to win the SEC?
You are either delusional or a rival fan. Nobody has a problem giving an HC time, but you have to see some semblance of progress. This team looks WORSE than when Napier took over, and he's had zero personal growth either.
@@ancho-31337 The Gators need 3 or 4 years to build a team. Urban Meyer or Nick Saban could do it in less time now that they are considered GOAT candidates but Napier or Kiffin or really anyone else is gonna need time.
@@mikehouse7066he’s been the coach for 3 years you fool.
@@ancho-31337 Who do you want to replace him with now?
The next coach needs more than Napier got or at least move money from the huge staff to NIL. One of the reason We stink is the trenches. Yes we aren't developing them but we also need the talented trench monsters!
Bring on Lane!
Hope we don’t get in a situation like Texas A&M hiring Jimbo Fisher
Oh wait…. We already did!
What concerns me is if we get head over heals in love with Kiffin, what will happen if he doesn't come? In being so Kiffin Gung Ho, will any other coach be treated as nothing more than a consolation prize? I guess it's the "Eggs in one Basket" thing.
Lane has it going his way at Mississippi. He could be a god there over time if he can win 9 or 10 games per year with an occasional playoff birth. He better stay where he is.
Breaking NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ELI DRENKWICH to be next head coach at FLORIDA GATORS!! PER SOURCE
Eli Drunk Bee itch?😮
Of course.....it's a no brainer on Kiffin
Tennessee didn’t fire Kiffin. He ditched us, that’s why he’s so hated in Knoxville.
Kiffin is the only solution. He checks all the boxes, and we can’t afford another hiring whiff. Dump Napier, get DJ a redshirt, and start the negotiation process.
Would like to see the old ball coach take the reins for the rest of the season and be instrumental in the hiring of the next head coach and staff. Additionally, trench weakness is because our culture is too soft.
Lane could do at Florida what Sark is doing at Texas
I really think kiffin is trolling for a Bigger Paycheck in Mississippi. I don’t know what he will do but either way he’s getting paid more next year.
The UAA is stuck in the 90's. .."We don't need no dang indoor practice facility"... "We aren't getting into the arms race of college football facilities.."
Florida needs to go get Lane write a blank check. I’m tired of losing and mediocrity with lame duck Coaches. Go get a Wolf to catch a Wolf!
As a Vols fan you’re going to hear all the discussions about the job and how bad it is. Be patient and you’ll end up with the right guy.
Wait until Bama has their issues and then sit back and laugh with us vol fans as they were threatening coaches before it was a thing.
Im a Gator in Tn and your right. Hepul showede he was the right guy how his D played his first year
. Hope we beat ya 😂 but F uga I like it when that 3rd game determined the east!
LMFAO, I hope you get both of them!!
What about Bill Belichick?
Ali, please stop apologizing for Napier ! It’s a shame we’ve moved on from this years team ! It tell you how much this team sucks ! Who would think the best teams in Florida would be UM, USF, and Central Florida well into the foreseeable future! Face facts, get used to it and embrace it ! Great show !
