The most unbelievable thing I heard today

[Mark Wheeler]

Billy Napier said that it was determined pre-game that Devon Manuel would get the 3rd, 6th, and 9th series based on how he practiced in the spring and fall - not on whether or not Austin Barber was struggling against a damn good defensive line. That is probably the fair/nice thing to do, but damn. He is getting paid millions, and there are 10s of thousands of fans in the stands, and millions more watching, that want and expect you to do what it takes to win the game on Saturday, not play nice.

Shouldn't have said that and shouldn't have done that...

Seems to me that it sends a message to the team that winning the game isn't the most important thing..

I can’t help but notice that it hasn’t taken Bill O’Brien four years to make BC competitive.

They are going to base playing time this weekend on how players did in a game. How ass backwards are these coaches of ours.

I read Barber was our highest graded OL but played the second fewest snaps.

Are the coaches trying to tank for a buyout?

Muschamp, McElwain, Mullen had Florida competitive within four years, but where is the program now?
I never claimed Napier was the ultimate answer for the program, but I believe that the steps he is taking are the correct ones for long term success.
Whether he achieves that goal, or the next coach (sort of like Richt -> Smart), at least the infrastructure is in place now.
