    Still need to win one more game to match FSU. At this point, I am not even sure where is that game going to come from, Miss State and Kentucky are not sure thing.

    I will be very relieved when/if we get that third win.

    We are the punching bag of SEC, lowest of the low. BN is literally destroying UF football franchise. I am sure the franchise value is much higher than the $20m to buy him out.

    Did FSU play 8 teams who were ranked in the Top 15 at any point last season?

    This thread is Napier's era in a nutshell, we are praying we can get 3 wins.

    How the hell does a head coach sit by and let his team not get better, get worse, regress? The guy is clueless. They say he’s “nice” but seems like a horrible man to me.

    A “horrible man”??? …That’s a bit much. He is not good at his job but to say something like that about him, as a person, is something a horrible person would say. And I’m not saying you are. Just saying we shouldn’t go overboard in describing what this is. Which, is simply someone who can’t do the job… and, there aren’t many who can. Hopefully, we get it right this time.

    To answer the OP - If CBN coaches out the rest of the season, My guess is UF UF splits a win between KY and MS State and steals an upset over one other to finish 3 - 9.

    If an interim coach is given the reins, with the available talent, 5 - 7.

    No they didn't. However, the reality is we do, and we will continue to play tough schedules EVERY year. That is why we need a better coach and leader of the program. It's clear BN is NOT it. If we get to 5 wins I would be shocked!!

    We all knew of very tough schedule at start of season. Given our talent it was reasonable to expect 4-4 record against these teams (and win the others) to get to 8-4 record. Now if we get 1-2 wins against those teams it’ll be miraculous.

    I couldn't give a fart about anyone's opinion of me. A good person would not cheat his players. Family man? Go home and play with your kids. Head Coach University of Florida? Stop blowing smoke and ruining what could be good careers for your players.

    Charley didn't ask his QBs to throw much. In 1984, Kerwin completed 98 passes in 184 attempts. Pell was most definitely run first, as was Galen.

    No. SWAC beat Cal (because is PK missed 3 FG) and a I-AA team in 2024. At least a win over highly touted Manning and UTx is a much better result. So far.

    Prior to the season, I had Texas as the second toughest to win, with Georgia the toughest.

    There's reason for optimism.

    Heaven forbid if we were to actually beat Georgia. What would Gator fans think or do then?
