    I’d call him out if I was Napier

    Napier's a big boy. I doubt he'll put one second's thought into this.

    It’s damn sure not because he’s this great reporter that everybody values

    Our AD needs to grow a set and revoke his media pass immediately

    Napier should just tell the clown if he works till he’s 99, maybe he will make one year of Napier’s salary.

    Probably more of a shot at Fla fans. I can’t believe some of the stuff I’m seeing posted about firing coaches this early in a first year coaches tenure.

    Columnists in general and sportswriters in particular are an arrogant bunch. Most sportswriters probably didn’t even make a varsity squad in high school. I wish more coaches would do a Grundy, a Meyer, or a Spurrier on them. Spurrier actually did it twice, once at UF and once at SC. Call them out, chew them out or kick them out!

    He’s probably right, I mean who else would hire that hack?

    But Fla fans don’t hire or fire coaches.
    We are subject to who the AD hires or fires.

    Mark Long is a total jerk.
    Guy goes out of his way to throw shade at players, staff all the time.
    This "news" will probably be gone by Wednesday unfortunately.

    I disagree. Let him in but ignore ALL of his questions.

    Sorry man, when you conflate a sense of decency for “weaksauce”, you’re too far gone to be in the conversation

    And if what was said bothered you, you probably correct people over pronoun use.

    Yes I thought the same thing. The audio is so always so freaking awful it has to be purposefully done like that. You'd never know from these pressers that UF is one of the premier journalism schools.

    Talk about the inability to read the room. Do most of the users on this board seem like pronoun-users to you?

    When’s the last time someone from the media got fired?
