We talking to this kid or what? Anything from AP?

No. He is a Gator. We just keep bumping this thread for no reason.

When did he flip?

Billy Napier inherited a more talented roster than Heupel.

Recruiting the state of Florida alone should win you 10+ games every year.

No question about this. What Heupel has done with what he inherited is absolutely amazing.

CJH just needs to keep doing what he's been doing. Recruits are definitely taking notice.

The man can effing coach.

Stop with the rebuilding BS. Mullen left him in great shape. He doesn’t have to build anything. He walked into the 12th most talented roster in the nation.

It's a rebuild, the Mullen malaise was real. He kicked our best player off the team and we've gotten better.

Lol

Tennessee’s 30+ best players transferred before Heupel’s first season. There were less than 60 scholarship players on that team. There was an NCAA cloud over the program. That’s a rebuild. Mullen had a bad year.

No it’s not a rebuild and the data proves that.

FL was a culture rebuild. Just as UT was when Heupel took over.

Roster wise, Napier had a better situation to work with considering the amount of talent in the state of Florida every year.

No doubt about that

 

[UT_Tix79]

Florida was definitely a culture issue. They said players were working out with their own people instead of as a team.

I mean 2 of their best players are transfers from where Napier came from I think

Seems reasonable. I will say I can't quite get a read on Napier so far. He strikes me as a much better gameday coach than Drinkwitz, given how they each approached our offense, but both seem goofy as heck.

 

[Volfansince1980]

LOL, this team his a very real chance of finishing with 9 wins and a top 15-20 final ranking as Billy is still in the process of tearing this thing to the ground and rebuilding it, not to mention a great recruiting class. Things are fine, we're quite happy with were this thing is headed.

Florida will lose to FSU. Hell, I’d laugh if Vandy beat Florida. They did beat Kentucky last week. You remember them right?

 

[SweetasSoda]

WHY are y’all listening to a Gator about how great it’s going there???
1. We beat them!
2. We’re most likely going to the playoffs!
3. We have players up for awards including the Heisman!

After dealing with annoying, needy uga fans, this Gator fan is a breath of fresh air!

...and the amount of talent already on the team the day Napier walked through the door.

I hope all your Gator brethren agree with you. The longer you keep Napier as the head coach of Florida the better as far as I'm concerned.

Going for a 2-point conversion when they had just scored a TD to cut our lead to 11 points was one of the dumbest in-game coaching decisions I've ever seen.

You're probably gonna regret that thought process, but to each his own I guess.

FIFY

Napier is a lightweight.

FIFY

You know, that's fair. But I'm mighty encouraged, especially as of late.

You all said the exact same thing in Year 1 of Mullen. And Year 1 of Shark Humper.
