I can remember back in the 90’s when they’d show offense and defense starting rosters after kick off, Tennessee (my team) had mishmash of players on both sides of the ball from all over the country. For the Gators.. they were all from Florida. almost every single player. Just an endless pool of talent produced in that state. Spurrier’s offenses were scary and if he got up on you, he’d run away with it and run the score up.. didn’t care. Regardless of how it got to this point, Florida’s just experiencing some down time now. Big changes will eventually be made and they’ll be back.. and it won’t take them long. UF has always been a worthy program for a big coach. They get the hire they need and you could see the Gators back to business in a season or two.

Historically though they are Crap, from 1911-1990 they NEVER won 10 games in a season, to put that into perspective.... Alabama had 21 10+ win seasons in the same time span Auburn had had 7 Georgia had 10 Tennessee had 11 Kentucky had 2 Ole Miss had 5 Vanderbilt had Zero also Miss State had 1 LSU had 4 So Florida was on the same level as Vanderbilt.

As a Florida fan, it is incredibly saddening to watch one man single-handedly set the program back at least a decade. Even during the Muschamp and McElwain eras, top-tier players still wanted to wear Blue and Orange. Napier forced AR15 to be a pocket QB and, in most cases, refused to let him run the ball, which led to him throwing unnecessary picks. Blame Napier, not AR15. Napier has made it clear from Week 2 or Year 1 that he doesn’t have the first clue what he’s doing out there. He’s an absolute joke and needs to be gone ASAP.

Florida hasn’t been completely trash since Tebow left but right now the problem has been Scott Stricklin. He was buddy buddies with Dan Mullen who he worked with at Mississippi St. He knew Mullen wasn’t a great recruiter or a fan of it but hired him anyways. Shockingly Mullen couldn’t recruit and it was a huge reason he was fired. Then Stricklin hired a HC with no power 5 HC experience. Also Stricklin keeps scheduling these insane hard non conference games. The SEC is hard enough but scheduling top 10 Utah back to back years. Now Miami, FSU, and UCF in the same season is trash. It’s like Stricklin is trying to get Napier fired. Even next year schedule will probably be even harder with traveling to Miami and USF, then playing FSU…

@@TheLemon420 my point is that no Florida is not a historical Blue Blood Program. Its fan base aged 35 and under has the opinion that Florida is a Historical BB Program, but the truth is that prior to 1990 Florida had never even won an SEC Title and had not finished the season as a top 10 CFB team more than a couple of times! Florida is today what they have always been historically speaking!

@@CousinEddy1969 so that means Florida should never strive to achieve greatness again? Georgia had a 40 year drought of anything and almost 3peated last year. Nebraska used to rule college football once upon a time and now they're irrelevant. Besides Bear Bryant and Nick Saban, Alabama has been irrelevant. Florida has all the best recruits in it's backyard and plenty of money to succeed, so they should. Period. Go be a loser somewhere else.

Considering the loss to Texas A&M in 2029 to be “stupid” is hilarious, ass if that wasn’t a top 5 team on the road lmao

[@FightingMexican]

Florida is not pumping as much money into the football program as other schools are. Top level leadership is problematic. The big brass at UF are more focused on academics rather than athletics. This allows incompetent mid-level leadership to take root - like Scott Stricklin. This moron thought it would be a great idea to fire Mullen and hire SunBelt Billy. Florida’s issues are not unlike Tennessee’s past struggles. It just takes buy-in from the university’s big brass, a competent AD, and a proven head coach. It really isn’t that complicated.

Let’s just call it what it is. Florida was one of the first sec schools and they have a grand total of 5 sec championships. The gators are an old program and have only been successful for like a 15 year period. There is alot of reason to believe them being good was an outlier and what they are now is who they are as a program

[@505premoto]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they went 4-8. They won’t beat either of the in-state teams.

[@Lachronix]

last years offense wasn't that bad. it was the defense that really needed help. so i'm going out on a limb and thinking they will clean that up this year. id also bet (if i could bet on just the outcome and not the spread and money line), that they start out 3-0. As long as QB can stay healthy and coaches aren't stupid, this season should be a massive improvement. They also play better at home, and since 2/3 are at home this year (miami/UCF) it'll be close, they should win. @@505premoto

Couldn’t agree with you less, when Napier arrived the shelves were empty and Mullen had killed the recruiting program! Napier has worked to change all this, he is recruiting great and building a program! Teams never improve with coaching changes every 2-3 years! You should also point out that the QB that got in legal trouble had charges dropped, try to be responsible we have enough hacks in the reporting business! The Gators are on the right path and the freshman talent being developed is off the charts!

I think you are all FOS and let the man work on building something. NIL and the Portal have destroyed college football it's all about the money now there is no allegiance to any school only the dollar. The powers that be that reap all the benefits from these kids and are laughing all the way to the bank. If Napier doesn't show any improvement at all then he should be fired at the end of the season. He needs to make a good bowl game with 7 or 8 wins although it might be tough with the schedule they have this year but who knows. I'll still be cheering the good and bitching about the bad but if we don't give coaches time to work and deal with the portal and NIL then they should do away with football at Florida.
