Billy Napier has not recruited depth. If he doesn't recruit depth we will go through the same thing next year if Lagway gets hurt. His top 3 quarterbacks this year was one recruit, a transfer portal guy and a walk on. That is not depth. No depth on the offensive line. In year 3 Napier still has not implemented a system that is built to succeed. Stricklin by issuing that letter has handcuffed himself to a losing proposition. Our AD is not decisive like Foley was when envisioning what success looks like. Foley firing Ron Zook today would be met by the "oh it's too soon give him time" crew. For context, Ron Zook went 8-5, 8-5 and 7-4 and in his last game won a bowl game. Ron Zook was a better recruiter and put out a better product on the field than Napier and his fraudulent "Army" has however firing Zook and hiring Urban Meyer turned out to be the home run shot. Stricklin has got to grab his nuts and end this Napier show so he can get an innovator in here who can recruit and coach at a high level. If he would've kept Mullen and forced out Grantham you could argue Florida would've avoided going down this rabbit hole of futility but he moved on from a viable head coach and seems incapable of doing what Colorado and Ole Miss' AD has done and that's think outside the box and hire someone that can put rocket fuel in the football program. Billy doesn't inspire. There is no swagger of Sanders or Kiffin no toughness or innovation of Meyers. We just have a bland coach who is sitting at #15 out of 16 teams in SEC recruiting this year because of the consistent losing and how Florida has lost in the majority of it's losses. By the way someone tap Napier on the shoulder and let him know the early signing period has moved up 3 weeks.

If you don't build depth then you will lose. If your system is fragile the loss of one player will collapse the whole foundation. I thought Napier hired an "Army" to build a sustainable foundation? Looks like Stricklin got conned and he refuses to admit he got conned so he's doubling down on his hiring decision. I read where Stricklin hires at Florida are 86-398 with 0 national championships. All of our national championships since Stricklin has been at Florida has been through Jeremy Foley hires. Let that sink in.

The past 2 years as well as Miami, A&M, Tenn, Tex all showed that even if those things were all in our favor, he a) cant get his teams to be prepared to play football until october so he guarantees you a loss early in the year and b) Will make dumb decisions that will cost you at least 1 more football game you should win and c) will lose to the teams hes supposed to lose to via index rating. And as long as we play TX and UGA we will always lose at least one of those 2. 3 Losses Guaranteed every year.. AT HIS BEST. Thats why there needs to be change. Im sick of these hopium fans.

There is no middle. With the issues going with Golden, Stricklin is a Dead Man Walking. Not literally folks, his time as AD is just about over. If Fuchs would actually act as Interim President he would have fired Stricklan this past Sunday. No one would argue over the decision. Stricklan is now the worst AD in history of college sports. Having 2, most likely 3 of your hires either get fired or be forced to resign over sexual allegations and then 2 football hires ending in dumpster fires cements Stricklan's tenure as the worst of all time. We can't get rid of Napier until Stricklan is fired first, because we don't him anywhere near the hiring process. The problem is Billy is his style of coaching. It's old, antiquated. If all you ever see is 1st string players, he'd do well. But because we always win games by small margins, the 2s and 3s rarely see game experience. It's why Bama and Georgia do so well, they rotate players and due to numerous blowouts get their 3s and 4s game experience. Not us, almost just the 1s and 2s and recent injuries have forced the 3s and 4s to play their first snaps against Top 10 competition who are fully experienced. The other issue are the excuses. We have none, because other teams seem to win. Look at Georgia Tech. Down their 1st string QB and both starting RBs, they upset Miami, ran all over them. In this case, the scheme worked, just plug and play players. Not with Napier. He has to have the right players in the system for it to work. Take any of them out and watch chaos.
