But let’s be honest here. No need to stay quiet for the sake of recruiting at this point. Napier runs out of time this year. I get how tough the schedule is but he won’t survive a third losing season. No matter how committed the AD claims to be going into the season the combination of a lower buyout and huge booster pressure with a third straight losing season for Napier and fourth overall for the Gators will force a change if he doesn’t find a way to win. The national media is well aware of this and the turmoil within the staff only compounds the situation. Very few people have any faith in Napier righting this ship. I hope he does. And if he does he deserves big time respect for it.

We just need a few good breaks for the players to develop some belief, some confidence. We are a way better team than perception would indicate but some tough breaks and the inexplicable loss to Vandy are working against us...

I'm convinced the problems with Florida football are 10% coaching related and 90% university leadership related. Throw in a little pro Georgia and anti Florida bias from the SEC, in my opinion.
