Former Florida Player Feedback: 10 Observations
- Thread starter Mark Wheeler
- Start date
The business analogy is the closest thing I've seen written about Napier and our football team.
In the real world of business he would have bankrupted us by now with what we've spent on him and in the company he runs without seeing any return on those investments.

That doesn't sound good.
I appreciate all the feedback but our choices are to keep a coach who can get nine or ten wins but not win championships or starting over again.
I'd rather start over.

I respect what the former players have to say because they have what's best for UF football ahead of themselves.
If coach Napier gets us to a bowl game against this schedule he should get another year to show what he can do with DJ Lagway as the starter for a whole year.

This schedule isn’t as daunting as it appeared when the year began. Why would 6-6 (minimum for bowl game) warrant another year? He took over a 6 win team and will need a bowl game to maybe do better for the first time in year 3…kinda defines failure as a head coach.
He did a great job on this.
If we win nine or ten games, that means we're going to
be in the playoffs, and that means we're playing for championships.

One of the best analyses I have read on Napier and our program in general. Ever since I saw our schedule and people talking about how difficult it is, I thought, what would Spurrier say about it? When Spurrier and/or Urban Meyer were here as the HBC and we were on someone's schedule, it immediately meant that team had a tough schedule. Quit whining about the schedule everyone; for the rest of the season, we need to make other teams pay for us being on their schedule.
If he’s given another year, Stricklin should mandate that he hire a top OC and pay enough to get him here. Napier could then focus on what he does best: recruiting, organization, culture building.
Businesses make investments all the time that they don't start reaping the rewards for until years down the road.
9 wins doesn\'t guarantee a spot in the playoffs when the SEC gets three or four teams in and there\'s a lot more than that in the league that wins 9 games a year.
If UF wins nine games this year - that would mean they have to go 5-0 to finish the season - yes, they would be a playoff team.
Also, nine wins won't necessarily mean Florida is in the playoffs from year to year. It depends on who they beat and lose to.
I mean look at Texas. There is talk that they might not make it with 10 wins because of their schedule.
Historically, the SEC has 5-6 programs a year that win nine or more games. The SEC (or any league) getting more than four playoff teams would be a stretch. So, that would mean that 1-2 or maybe even more SEC programs would be left out despite a nine win season.
