    Damn early signing day is going to rear its fubar head again. Really impacts when that decision should have been made.

    Luckily, excellence usually takes 5-6 years before it manifests itself. ;)

    I know I have accepted that he isn't the guy but I have no control over what happens. I'll support the team but I don't believe our staff can turn this around. The narrative is set. It's done.

    Play someone close? Is that the new criteria for success around here?

    I hope he wins every single game and he’s the head of my Gators so he has my support.

    btw, we lost a game, the first one against a well rated Miami team. He could still have a season. We are not used to losing the first game but we usually play West Indonesia College first.

    Yea, everybody has turned now, I haven't heard a single supporter. Keep in mind, so many gators don't even care any more and are ambivalent and have lost interest completely.

    I'll say it and its unfortunate, my kids had zero chance of getting into florida (we live in north atlanta), one graduated from bama, one is there now --- i root for bama.....sorry I said it out loud. Gators are my team, but thank goodness they went to bama and i'll leave it at that.

    I think he’s lost even his biggest supporters. Well at least most of them.

    I'm just curious as to what you're seeing/believing after 26 games and an 11-15 record that indicates he will get anything done?

    This is why I don't believe in Napier. If he hasn't let go of playcalling yet, why should he be trusted on anything else?

    I think a silent majority were supporting him Only because he was a Gator, while nervously looking at the product.

    The Miami Debacle shattered that world. Maybe he pulls it out, maybe he doesn’t.

    The sun will come out tomorrow, just like the sign, Free beer tomorrow;)
