    Curtis Lemay, always said broken planes can’t drop bombs.

    we’re broken but I really believe Napier will fix the plane and in time we will fly again

    Sounds like he knows what's going on and a reasonable attitude is more then a lot of "so called" Gators don't understand.

    He compares this moment in time to his time with the Gators in 79.

    I've been saying this for awhile.

    Everyone should watch this clip.

    I'd be interested if he had the same opinions on Muschamp, Sharkboy, and Mullen?

    If you watch the video it’s obvious that he wouldn’t have - his whole point is that Napier Has to completely change the mindset and culture of the program. He compared Pell kicking 25 scholarship players off the team to what’s going on now that resulted in the most significant turn around in college football all history at that point from 1979 0-10-1 to 8-4 in 1980.

    It’s vanilla, and that’s being kind. But in fairness to the mutts they had Oklahoma scheduled this coming year but had to switch it out because of concerns with the SEC. I think they replaced it with Bowling Green.
