Josh, if you will look back and see what I told y'all at Florida,and I will tell you this,but I told you,we need to keep Mullin, have the Bull Gators,and the REAL HONCHO'S,say "Hey,boy, we gonna hire you a D.C. and an R.C. and you just keep being the head Coach and scoring ,just stay out the way when we don't have the bal"and told y'all,we didn't need to get rid of the best coach scoring since HBC!

[@truettjohnson7230]

First off, you hire a coach with skin in the game,Kerwin Bell,was my pick, I graduated from same high school, but this is really messed up, Spurrier dish ragged UG over 90%,like a drum every year but one,he lit teams up ,every game most every year,and left a program, why,are coaches to stupid to do that,say this is how you do it,and you never hire a coach with out skin in the Game and if we had too,should have hired Gene Chizic ,It's tough as a boy of 7 y o ,remembering Wilbur Marshall dominating Salisbury,and USC ! You can't allow a guy to keep coaching your team, I'm sick of this,what and why did Florida allow [the honcho] continue to do it

Well, I have been a Canes fan since I was able to watch football. As a kid living in Miami in rough neighborhoods and played 3 sports for the city. The city allowed us kids to go to the Miami home games for free. I watched the 80's hurricanes, the 2000's and 2001's Canes. I remember when the Football and Baseball team was running things in the early 2000's. Cam Ward is built different. If he continues to play with that "I don't care" attitude. Winning won't be a problem. He's going to work and seems like the rest of the team is following his lead. They go to work every day, get better every day. There won't be anything stopping them.

Mario made massive steps as a head coach this year. He put his pride aside, realized what he is bad at, and fixed it. He is letting Shannon take full control of the offense and he's not messing with the defense. He also hired a time management coach to help him out. This is what I like to see out of Mario

He got Jason Taylor running that defensive line 😬

After the first two quarters, 75% of us knew. After the third quarter, some of us said maybe DJ can exorcise the Choke at Doak and lead a 28 point comeback. Then, Billy called three horrible plays in a row and 100% of us knew he was cooked. Billy will be fired by week 5.

As a Miami fan since 1969 Canes fans have seen both sides of the great and the bad seasons. This is a great rivalry we have with Florida and its always a week of football drama till the end of the game. This Florida team has a lot of very good players on it. IMO Florida has a very good defense, Good running game, good special teams. The offense is unknown only because we need to see Miami play some more teams to find out how good Miami's defense is and how bad Florida's offense is. I also think that Florida could probably beat most of the ACC teams simply because of their defense special teams. So just make sure you beat the brakes off FSU - Go Canes.

In fact, I was always quick to praise anything positive he did in order to try to trick myself into liking him more. Yet even I was amazed by how bad things have gotten. I don't imagine Kiffin wants this job anymore (Ole Miss is riding high) and Fisch just got a new contract with Washington. I don't think buying both Napier and him out of their contracts is in the cards. Not that it matters, because the AD will need to be replaced before the coach hiring, and before a new AD can be hired, a new school president needs to be hired. So, buckle up fellow gators, it's going to get real bad.

Football knowledge is very hard for myopic Gator fans. Just take the loss, don’t make excuses and move on. I wish you all the luck and success for your Gators moving forward this season. I can not only read and comprehend, but I also have a very good knowledge of football. 😊 Enjoy the rest of the season and the great sport of college football. Please don’t be a wise ass. It just makes you look like you are a bad sport. 😊

@@frankcristell692 I'm not a bad sport, Miami is trending in a very good direction. Florida is trending down still and its been getting worse under Napier. I'm sure you know football just fine, I'm merely responding to how you reacted to the original comment. Miami didn't "break" Florida, they've been getting better as a team while UF has continued to get worse and less disciplined. We are tired of watching UF commit the dumbest penalties every game, continuing to shoot themselves in the foot while they are already playing worse. That is what the original comment was saying, not that UF lost because they had some penalties called. Good luck on the rest of your season, I think Miami will definitely be back in the national conversation

In 2013, Gus Malzahn took a 3-8 Auburn team with a former Georgia Safety (Nick Marshall) at quarterback to the National Championship.... IN HIS FIRST YEAR AS HEAD COACH. I use Malzahn as an example because he isn't universally regarded as an elite coach. Bearing that in mind, why can't Billy Napier even produce a winning season at a program like Florida?

[@rhrh2025]

Florida has shown no improvement under Napier. Losing is one thing. But, being blown out of your own stadium is entirely different.

Cue up the Sarah McLachlan again!! You forgot to mention one of the craziest stats I heard from the game! 41 points was the most points UF has ever given up in a home opener. Ever.

[@calebsewer7570]

As an outside observer, Billy Napier is not the reason why Florida is bad, the problems stem from the lack of stability in the program, rather than his lack of coaching ability, even though that doesn't help

As a lifelong Canes fan I’m not falling for it. The Canes and the Dolphins have been garbage so long and fooled me before, not again. Especially having a head coach that doesn’t even know football basics. How you get to be a head coach without knowing what a kneel down is is asinine. They get no faith, no benefit of the doubt. They need to go earn it.

@@jp2722 Mullen had two good years with Mac's players, refused to recruit at all, and in fact his prize recruit was Emory fkin Jones. Made Wilson a captain the week after the shoe toss, and wasted a generational offense in 2020 because he refused to can his ass buddy Grantham. Y'all gotta stop pretending Mullen was gonna win championships. Do you not remember the "we'll worry about recruiting during recruiting season" comment? Or going 6-6 in his last season? Or the "we didn't really care about this bowl game, it was just a practice game for the young guys" comment? Cmon now, Mullen was a real loser by the time he was shown the door.

Mertz wrote too many checks before the game with his mouth that his and his team's play couldn't cash. He didn't even have to deal with our best player, Reuben Bain, for the whole game after the 1st drive. But that gave the beast Tyler Baron time to shine.
