He's Sunbelt Billy until he proves otherwise

[GatorDMD]

In these 2 years coach Napier is 7-14 against P5 teams.

He deserves to be called Sunbelt Billy until he proves otherwise because he hasn't shown that he's able to compete against P5 teams.

All Napier does is preach changing the culture. He's done an excellent job! We've gone from throwing shoes to spitting. This team is so unprepared, no discipline at such critical times that changes the entire game results. Not even sure if they know or understand the rules. Billy doesn't care about winning and the first move should be to fire Stricklin immediately.

It does feel like this is too much for him.

That double reverse flea flicker call killed us.

I'm normally against name calling. You can disagree with the coach without acting like this is Jr. high.

But you make a good point here. It isn't really calling him a name it is showing his coaching skill level. He isn't Power 5 Billy until he starts doing better against Power 5 teams.

Can you imagine how Saban or Kirby would have gone off on a kid that was ejected for spitting? Their eyes would have popped out of their heads! Napier looked Iike he said "Now son, you know we can not behave that way."

The clock is ticking on him.

The odds are probably starting to go in favor of him, not making it to the 2025 season.

 

[Titletown]

I understand being disappointed and unhappy but calling him that doesn't help anything.

If recruits log on here and see that. What do you think they think about him and us?

He is definitely on the clock. He doesn't get a fourth year if he can't show great improvement next year.

Imagine all the head coaches visiting prospects and many of them get asked about winning and some get asked about being better later on and our coach gets asked about fans like they see on the internet.

That's what I mean.

I can understand being upset but this doesn't help.

I partially agree, but none of this is on the fans; it is all on Napier.

I don't like making rude or negative comments about our coach but he has to do better if he wants to get the fans behind him.

This is how I feel.

He has another year to make it happen or he can go back to the sunbelt.

He 100 running us in the ground.

I wouldn't say he is running us in the ground. He isn't a good coach but he's been a good recruiter. If he can hang on to Lagway, Hayes, Graham, Filsaime and McCray for our next coach he will be putting him in a winning position his first year.

If he brings in all of them I agree with you.

I like Harris as the CB coach.

If we get good coaches at DL and hire a OC he gets a reset with me.

What are the DL coaches we are thinking of hiring?
