Stricklin needs to go too!
He is the first that needs to go and I just seen on one of these UA-cam channels that he would be gone by December
Omg. Let it go. That’s so far beyond your control. Just stop about Striklen
100%
he can’t be fired, there is no president
Was at UF in the mid 90s, fortunate to be at UF during our first National Championship; to see where we are now is shocking and beyond words
You got a sound education unlike the guy speaking in the video who ends all his sentences with the word at , ridiculous . Where we’re at , where he’s at blah blah blah . it’s where we are . Where he is . Unsubscribed
Good for you bro. @@JLBisHatedbyPresidentXiEven
Was there during the same time. Sad indeed!
A&M had more rushing attempts than Florida had rushing yards.
😂😂😂
Ouch
lol
I saw a post that Eugene Wilson liked a post that Napier should be fired… damn. Even his best player is like yea it’s time. Probably tired of just being a motion WR and not being used enough.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!
Myles Graham liked the post too
Even after the loss to Miami I still tried to stay positive on Billy.. I wanted him to turn this season around so damn bad. But after yesterday's, " hey we're still the exact same team from last year", deal. Fuck that whole staff
Miami game was the last nail in the coffin ⚰️ for me
@hardwiredtoself-destructio7614 Me too man!
The problem is we aren’t even on last years level. We are worse. This is one of the worst teams in our history.
Worst record going back 100 years
I love that how for the 3 years we've stopped other teams loosing streaks lol
Sale most definitely been stealing time and money
26 million dollars fired me
The sad thing is that most of the yardage came in garbage time... the run game was completely shut down until they started playing prevent defense.
Three of the final 5 candidates to replace Dan Mullen at the end of 2021 were the now Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal, Bill O'brien at Boston College and Lane Kiffen. All 3 were overlooked by Strickland for Sunshine Billy. Let that sink in. All three are currently at the top of their game and the hottest coaches still. The other finalist beside Aranda at Baylor was Billy Sunshine. All three finalists will put epic beatdowns on Florida State and Florida this year.
Brian Kelly and Lincoln Riley too
Haven’t been embarrassed to this level in a long time…living and working in B’ham/Atl makes it even harder 🤦🏽♂️
This team has no enthusiasm no fire and they have taken on the persona of their head coach. I can't even watch this stuff their calling football 🏈. My eyes are bleeding.
Do you think a lot of the players will go into the transport transfer portal? I do believe that’s what’s going to happen once Napier is gone.
GET HIM OUTTA HERE
😂😂😂
I'm so tired of firing coaches but its a necessary thing to find the right fit. My first year was Spurrier's first year. I was 9. After experiencing all that success with Spurrier & Myer, I have never seen it this bad in all that time! First time I'm saying this publicly but I'm finally on the train of Napier is not the guy & its time to move on!
You don't alternate quarterbacks to say you did. No matter if you play Mertz or DJ, leave them in until a change is required. It's all about team tempo. By alternating, you destroy timing. Timing wise there is a big difference between Graham and DJ. By alternating, team coordination is greatly affected.
As a Husker fan, I feel your pain. Good days will come
So sick of high top and all saying play DJ he better than Mertz …. Yeah right Graham looked head and shoulders better !!!
The line of scrimmage is the issue OL DL
@@Gatorz1Man agreed. They still haven't learned from the Richardson/ Jones debacle.. which in that case they were both OK, but atleast Jones was completing more than 3 passes a game
Except mertz is at his ceiling and DJ is still just a freshman and hhis floor is almost at mertz ceiling
@@RJ-fe9pu yeah that's not true. Dj's good & has clear talent, but pound for pound Mertz is a better more rounded qb. Dj will get there though it's just a matter of experience
@@thelion2358 its an opinion so in fact it is true and not true at the same time making your point moot and irrelevant to me
@@RJ-fe9pu numbers don't lie my man
We have to come up just to hit the floor. That's how low this program has fallen. A different kind of low.
I don't think any of these so called reporters know what is going on
I’ve believed that Johnson was in over his head since I first saw him play after Napier took over. Johnson is only at Florida because of Billy Napier. Johnson isn’t an SEC back and wasn’t recruited as one. Vandy, Tulane, Arizona, South Alabama, the list goes on. Yeah Tennessee recruited him but that was back when Tennessee looked like we do now. He lacks vision, instinct, his cuts are sub par he’s not patient runner and quite frankly he’s one of the reasons Etienne is gone. Trevor knew he was the better back but had to watch Johnson play as the number one because Billy Balless has a soft spot for Johnson. Another issue we have is running the same play over and over and over again. It’s one thing if it’s working, but doing something that’s not working or got picked the last series immediately after you get the ball back is just ludicrous! I found this article and WOW wasn’t it interesting. All these red flags 🚩 that you probably should have noticed before giving someone $7 mil a year. But then that leads me into well Strickland obviously doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing either which we all know is true. Did anyone else notice that on multiple occasions Badger was lined up in the slot and kinda runs a drag route and that’s the first read?! Dike was also on the same routes with his touches. The only difference is Billy adds all this motion and tries to create mismatches but the defense already knows the routes. It’s consistent over and over! Anyway, I just read that Napier was just fired so let me check that out here’s this article that’s just mind boggling….
hailfloridahail.com/posts/five-red-flags-florida-football-should-have-seen-before-hiring-billy-napier-01j7tph9bmfp
I’m sure Georgia paid Trevor more too. Even if they weren’t planning on making him their featured back it was worth it to them to stick it to Florida.
BINGO!!!!!! What you laid out pisses me off more than anything in his tenure.
Bingo bro been a BUM and Webb and Baugh run better than him
I chair a college board. It's illegal to meet in secret or to even call or text other trustees about college matters, including athletics. It violates the Freedom of Information Act.
On thinks about laws, by laws, and ordinances etc……if no one knows it happened then it didn’t violate anything. Is that ethical? Nope. Does it happen? You bet your ass it does.
Also, as a Public University in Florida, they fall under the Florida Sunshine Laws.
WOW! EXPLOSIVE! SHELTON on the job for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Took long enough for the rest of the fan base to get on the fire Billy train
Fla set to hire Coach Prime next!!
Congratulations on being early to the get rid of the coach line. Some fans would rather see the team succeed rather than be right about whether the coach was a bad hire.
@@rodrigocurbelo8692Of course we want the team to succeed. You think Billy is the guy?
@@chrisweidner4768 not now. The difference is I wanted him to be the guy more than I wanted to be right.
@@CETGalecoach prime even worse😂😂
As a Gators fan, im disgusted, and Napier needs to be gone today right now. Tomorrow at the latest, were gonna lose so much if we keep him around for the rest of the season!!
Wont be surprised if Lagway hits the portal next season
Something has to be done!!! 😎
Hope Lagways stays we love DJ
As a Tennessee fan that went through something similar…Florida will come through and be ok. Give it time and get the right guy!
You are right in that there are steps board officials have to take in order to have an "official" meeting. Billy's time at UF will come to an end soon.
Whatever coach they hire, three years from now they will be fired and10s of million dollars richer
Fan base wants Urban level of success every year. Delulu
@@AcceptanceCriteria That and bad hire after bad hire. Gotta clean out the big offices on campus, boosters go force them out like they did in Auburn.
Time to bring in a Prime Time Coach to bring some swag into the Gators.... Coach Prime is coming soon....;)
@@AcceptanceCriteria Florida fans have a much higher opinion of where that program stacks up than actual reality. Outside of Spurrier and Urban they have been nothing. They had been behind on facilities for a a long time, NIL is average and Jaden Rashada is going to put another dent in it.
They all talk about Lane Kiffin and he is in a better situation and currently a better program with significantly better NIL collective/structure at Ole Miss.
He isn’t leaving for Florida… lol
After the 40+ million invested to buy out Billy and staff . You have revenue sharing coming soon enough to factor in too.
Not to mention how many obstacles are in the way. They would then have to pay $8 million buyout and then willing to pay Kiffin $13+ million per year. Because Ole Miss will match literally anything.
Florida would also have to be willing to miss early signing period and the winter transfer window. Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss will be in the playoffs until January, he isn’t walking away or taking the job in the middle of that.
It’s a step backwards and a rebuild for a place that has 0 patience and 0 systemic aptitude.
@@AcceptanceCriteriathat used to be the expectation. Now we just want more wins than losses or maybe just any improvement at all
I heard Montrell has cleats made out of concrete
Reminds me of our decade of dysfunction as a Tennessee fan. Thank God we’re out of the wilderness but it looks like UF is still in it.
I have an in-law on AD staff….he texted me an hour ago he may be is out of a job end of year along with Strickland, Napier, and Gators already struck a deal with Lane after Ole Miss last game to take over, deposited $5 mil as a retainer in his bank, the new Fla. AD will be Amy Hass….Damn, that was fast!
I hope you’re not bull💩
It's time for him to.go. I know about that as a CANE fan.
Get Billy the f out of Gainesville
This is the best that they can do??? If so it’s catastrophic 🤬🤬🤬
The dam o line coach should be in high school
Thanks!
Needs to be fired. Ad Jc clean house.
Gators need to stop it with hiring former Saban (Bama) assistant coaches. They are trojan horses that take down the Gators from within.....
Agree Strickland needs to go also. This is a total disgrace. Gator Nation deserves much better than this.
Strickland should have fired along with Mullen as a package deal.
From what I'm hearing, Napier will be the coach for the remainder of the season. The reason is who do they replace him with? There's not a single offensive-minded coach among his 200 coaches and you can't just go out and get an interim coach. So we'll have to ride this out for the season most likely.
Nah man, you guys can't complain about DJ not starting but then when he gets an opportunity to be clutch and throws an interception, complain about how Mertz was doing better and should've stayed in. Childish. I think Napier has had good intentions the whole time and truly is trying his best and doing what he thinks is best but he's just not succeeding.
Disclaimer:
I love Napier as a person but I'm not oppossed to him being fired at this point. I hate that it went this way but it is what it is.
I wounder were lagway will end up next year been hearing his name around georgia sounds about right sec will pick gators clean it happens
Relax. The kid is solid. Olinemen are wanting to come play with him. We will clean house but he will be a center piece for the new coach. Lane will have DJ in the Heisman conversation next year if he comes to UF
Good luck DJ 🙏🏻
Bateman knew what we were going to do before we did it! He shut us down completely!!
Unless they somehow went out and grabbed an elite coach like Ryan day or something similar with a big name I don’t see why they should write a contract of more than $5 million for three years. we need to stop paying an insane amount of money upfront for unproven people like Jim, Billy and so one. You get a winning season then you get a big contract until then no big money upfront. Working at Florida is a privilege in itself. Prove yourself.
E.Wilson liked the picture of Billy getting fired
Listen, let’s be straightforward here. I’m done trying to find something positive to hold on to. The past two and a half seasons have been a mess, and frankly, I don’t care what Florida State is doing. My concern is with Florida, and right now, we’re not performing well.
We’ve invested in world-class facilities, poured money into the program, and turned out in droves to support our team. Since Billy Napier was hired, we’ve backed him, but what have we seen? Not progress-regression. Sure, we started strong in the past few seasons, but the signs of decline later in the season should have been a red flag that this job might not be for him.
I wasn’t a fan of the hire from the start. Napier’s track record as a head coach and offensive coordinator has been underwhelming-flat and conservative. Even at Louisiana, he struggled to win games he was heavily favored in. He’s been pushing his “process” relentlessly while assembling a staff that seems like it was thrown together haphazardly, more so than any other team in the nation. This year, the results speak for themselves: we’re pitiful.
His stubbornness to relinquish play-calling duties and the hiring of a “co-Offensive Coordinator” feels like an insult. If he’s going to stick with his 12 predictable plays, then we’re just stuck on this downward path. As he said in the post-game, we’re judged by what we do on the field. He was hired to coach football, not to be a psychologist.
I wish I was I Billy’s shoes, got rich off a bunch of football junkies and going on vacation!
Got to love America!
I agree that Scott and the administration is the problem, and it needs to be cleaned out, full stop… No ifs ands or buts…
After looking at all the options across the country. It looks like Lane Kiffins the best and most realistic option for Florida. 4 mil buyout. 10 win season. If we lose Lagway, he will bring a QB with him from Ole Miss (probably Austin Simmons).
I would love to look around the country and look at coaches at mid level p5s.. but theres no one who is a clear cut winner. Those coaches who are winners are very happy where they are. Those we could have gotten changed jobs last year (So Fisch is unlikely plus he just lost to Wazzu)
Who else you goin for? Franklin? No. Bill OBrien? No. Fickell? No. You aint pullin Day, Lanning, or Venebles.
Kiffin is it. Unless you can somehow convince Brian Johnson (Mullen and Eagles OC) to come
Kiffin is NOT leaving Ole Miss for that dumpster fire 😂😂😂
@@chrisullery3386 Billy has been able to out recruit Kiffin based on location and name brand alone even though Kiffins proven to be a more competant coach. Kind of proves what you can do at Florida that you cant do at Ole Miss
@@danielmorgan7338 convince lane brother. He would actually be a great hire. I just don't see him going anywhere.
Bobby Slowik??
Board of trustees have no power in hiring and firing coach. All on the ad which also needs to go.
Bingo!!
The Keith Friedman account is a troll account. He tweets about imminent firings and deletes the ones that don't come true.
Gator Jen i agree 1000%!
I've been a Florida Gator fan since the 8th! It's great, to be, a Florida Gator! The problem I have is that the players do not believe in him because he doesn't believe in his own system. Ai am sick of being sick of watching how we go out there flat and don't execute. I am not sure about everyone else, but I need to have a defense that has a killer instinct! I know it's easier said than done, but if the coach doesn't have any fire the players will not either. When I say a killer instinct I mean go out there and give all you got. Don't miss tackles. Do what you need to do in order to get the opposing team on the ground behind the line of scrimmage. Being a defensive lineman in high school and in college, it starts with the defensive alignment. The coaches need to get a defense out there. That's not afraid to go toe to toe with the freight train, but it seems our defense is doing absolutely nothing. The offense can work itself out but if you really look at any team then you will know that the top 10% of all teams that won championships had a stellar defense! It's sickening and I am going to be a gator till I die but I do not like the way this is panning out. We need somebody who is going to get in there. And have the players believe in them. I am not a huge fan of Lane Tiffany either because he loves and aerate offense. But if you look at his games, defense is nowhere around. That's just Mike gripe and it probably has nothing to do with anything but go Gators and we need a tenacious defense! Go Gators
Canned after 3 games? This might be the quickest within a season I’ve seen a coach gets fired, though I’m sure it’s warranted.
It’s 3 years of crap. 3 years.
Should have been fired after Miami
26 million wasted dollars….
I still can’t believe these schools’ lawyers allow such asinine contracts to be written up for head coaches in CFB. But ESPECIALLY with an unproven coach like Billy when he came over from Louisiana.
It's all money. The longer he keeps his job the less money the buyout is
I got ridiculed when I said billy was a horrible hire! I got ridiculed when he couldn't go 500 with the 4th overall pick as his quarterback and said fire him immediately! I got ridiculed when I said fire him after last year's debacle and call Urban immediately!
Call Urban yesterday!
Mertz was taking over and the fact Billy took him out is petty and insane
Billy is gone y’all
SUN BELT BILLY!!! Yall need to hire Coach Prime, he would leave Colo in a hurry for the SEC and bring that swag.......;) I say this as a lifelong Dawgs fan........;) Trump 24!! FJB FKH
Miami game they quit at halftime. This game they didnt quit. But they probably should have
Honest question why would Lane go to UF ?
Money and prestige
@@yeolebast4665 its like people forget who Lane Kiffin is and what drives him. He aint Gundy or Whittingham. He wants accolades.
And tbh of he succeeds at Florida.. he will probably move on to the NFL.
I would take that over what we have now.
Because he is currently in Oxford Mississippi.
@@smokey_gator_239 based
Lane Kiffin..?.... I Rather get Kirby Smart if UF pulled him I know he would have UF tougher and competing sooner....
I hope you hire a Coach who actually wants to be there for the right reason, and Kiffin is not that guy.
Those QB stats are misguided that you reported.. Look at how many times Lagway vs. Mertz were hurried, blitzed, and pressured.
Barrie had the answer for this season. Get Urban to come in for the rest of the season. Throw him the bag! Stabilize the program!
Urban has said no.
Give me Kiffin! We want Kiffin!! Billboards need to go up. The pressure for Billy needs to be so loud he want's to leave. I'm sick and tired of his crappy game plans and his hohum attitude.
I don’t know how they let Napier coach another game to be quite honest.
Any interim they name would be an upgrade plus it would give the added bonus of new intensity and fire.
Something this team never shows under Napier. They all play as if they are on Xanax.
They have to fire him immediately.
I actually fully expected to wake up this morning seeing the headline “Napier fired from Florida”.
I don’t know what the hold up is.
Stricklin told Finebaum Friday that Billy wasn’t going anywhere
Just when you think you've seen the worst season ever... Uggghhhhh!
We'll treat DJ We'll in Miami next year, don't ya worry.
Don’t worry, no one will know who Miami is for the next few decades. Nothing to worry about.
Let’s talk on making players hit the transfer portal starting with the terrible defense we have and the trash ass secondary
Fired soon him & his boi Stricklin should have been fired this morning, what is the hold up time to move on!
The administration hired a recruiting coach right before the NIL era... Too slow is spot on.
Firings for Sale and Roberts after Scott and Billy
I don’t blame simple Billy. He is what he is. I blame anyone involved with the interview and the hire of this overwhelmed guy. The defensive coordinator needs to be gone as well. Has the presence of a high school tuba player.
Why did even get rid of dan Mullen first don't fix what is not broken
Because he’s an arrogant asshole who quit on the team, didn’t recruit, has horrible people skills, and showed up to a press conference as Darth Vader. Is that not enough for you? Dan is done and that ship is long gone. He had to go. Will Muschamp might be the only coach in the last 10 years I’d give a second chance to, but that’s only if he hires a FANTASTIC offensive coordinator. Other than that, Lane Kiffin or Dan Lanning would be my top choices.
If they played more teams like Sta"M"ford, this wouldn't be discussed! Perhaps UF can join the new Pac 10???
😂
I was calling for dj to start after samford but my thing is billy said he was going to play both thats fine but when you swap every other drive neither qb can get in a rythm the offense cant get in a rythm in my opion if he wanted to play both it should have been each one get a quarter a piece my opion but im just a couch coach
It’s bad when you long for the Zook era
Our money goes to the wrong places 1000000%
Rumors are gonna be flying around everywhere!!!
If they physically show up you can't fire them for not physically showing up.
Play Madden with players ❌️
Offer players $13+ million with no intention of actually paying any of it ✅️
Webb and Baugh need to be the rotation at RB. Even with our shitty line, Webb is fast and Baugh falls forward. Montrell needs to take off that #1 jersey and take the 3rd string roll. He’s not it. Just like Billy, Montrell is a nice guy but not it.
Gigem Aggies Great win over the Gators Too bad they aint doing anything this both Texas schools are beating Florida.
50+ years a Gator and I have ranted my last. I'm done.
Scott stricklin has hired 10 coaches and 4 of them not there anymore and 2 of them got caught in scandals . Only good hire he ever made was 🏀 Todd golden
Todd Golden was referred by Billy Donovan to boot!!!!
AD should be the first to go
Miami and Oregon got good by spending money. How come we have no problem spending 25 million to get rid of Billy and start over again, and we couldn't buy an O line like Miami? To get back to where we once were we will have to buy good players, it's not like the good old days where top players want to come to Florida just cause it's Florida. Just firing Billy will just start another series of chaos without the $$$$$$$$$$$$
Tim Tebow for an interim coach, it’s the best choice for culture change.
I'm sure they told the team today.
UF fires Napier now they need to hire the next head coach an not wait even if they have to temporarily hire him to the staff
Graham missed way to many easy throws though killed momentum
I'm tired of the Lane Train talk. Ok he would be a good coach, but he won't stick around. He Nevers sticks around. As soon as something better pops up he bounces. No Lane Kiffin
I wonder how would this affect the players?? I hope they stay and give the new coach a chance before entering the portal
I’d bet some of them are looking forward to an upgrade deep down
60% of the starting lineup NEEDS to transfer bruh. Have you seen that defense and the offensive line. Whew. Trash.
@gatorguysix7631 I'm not talking about the whole team. I'm referring to the 2024 class. I've watched every game, so don't come on my post talking stupid. Some of you all be quick to jump on somebody's post talking crazy. It's actually some good players on the team. They just need a better coach that will develop them.
I said he’d be gone by Halloween ‘24 and y’all wanted to argue with me.
Look here Nature Boy😂
Stricklin needs to be fired. Please do not allow him to hire another coach. His hired haven’t worked out yet.
