[@jkmarshall3553]

Dudes, Billy wins out the season. You heard it hear first!

[@barrone71]

Brandon, you are not sounding like a pessimist, jerk nor downer. You are speaking your mind and giving an honest assessment of the program. That is something that is lacking in today’s media. Keep up the good work 💪

[@LockedOnGators]

@@barrone71 I genuinely appreciate you, thank you.

[@jeffhiner617]

I'm having Grantham flashbacks, if the defense isn't working, adjust the d to the players they have

[@tobecontinued47]

Yes they will beat UCF, Kentucky, LSU and Florida state

[@barrone71]

Will Fla win another game this year? Survey Says…….. Possibly vs FSU lol

[@commando3093]

Yup agree. And even then….

[@Gatorfan38]

Yes they'll win another game because there are too many good players on the team for that. They'll win at LSU, Kentucky, FSU, UCF. Is that enough to keep Billy there? No.

[@Scrapyard1v1er]

I really hope we beat UCF but I just don’t see it! They have the #1 rushing attack in the whole country and our rushing Defense is 1 of the worst in the country! Miss st was the worst SEC rushing team in the country last week averaging 60 yard per game and we let them rush for 250+ yards so take that how you want but UCF averages 350+,rush yards per game right now. They will probably rush for 500+ on us

[@19mindmechanic55]

I just remembered when Fanduel came out with their odds on the Gators winning 4 1/2 games and we all thought that was just whacked. What could they have been thinking? We all thought somewhere between 5 and 8 wins, but all the things you brought up this episode, that all the things we all assumed would have happened during the off-season, didn't happen. Billy Napier seems to think that everything he was doing last year was just great, like he was the one who knew everything there was to know, so why make all the changes we assumed he - or anybody - would have made during the offseason. Instead, Fanduel somehow... maybe they brought in an FBI profiler to get an in-depth profile of Napier, who told them - Nuh-uh (that's technical talk). Anyway, wow. I mean, I don't gamble, so I don't care much, but... something here is just kinda creepy.

[@barrone71]

KY can literally just run the goal line power run formation all game and Fla will get mauled. Tenn will outscore Fla even with turnovers. LSU will beat Fla despite not having a great defense. This Gator team is horribly coached

[@LionsMagicRaysGators]

The realistic pass to bowl eligibility is UCF, Kentucky, LSU, FSU. I doubt Napier can do that and he will be out if i’m right.

[@ultragator724]

“I have no confidence in this coaching staff” I think it would be very difficult to find ANYONE to disagree with that. Sadly that’s probably including the players. We’re screwed.

[@derklavierspieler7491]

I don't agree with people who say you can influence players not to come to Florida. If they even watch this, I think they appreciate seeing gator influencers talking about the positives and negatives of the program. Before the season i thought Florida could beat Kentucky, LSU and Florida State. Now, maybe FSU. Sad.

[@WCworkhorse]

We aren't going to have new head coach until the end of the season. There is no point. We are just going to bite the bullet on recruiting and players transferring out. Then once the playoffs are over, we will hire Lane. He will bring players with him. Many of the players that transferred out will come right back. I don't why you think it's so necessary to fire Napier as soon as possible. It doesn't matter.

[@t.samuelrobinson8623]

Yeah man, sorry to say, I had the feeling before the season started that we would lose to UCF.

[@19mindmechanic55]

Thanks Brandon. Here in Gainesville, seems everyone is already home and staying home. People generally off the streets. People may think that, being inland, we are not vulnerable to hurricanes. Although its true we are not in danger like those on the coast, with the storm surge, the greatest risk of fatalities, there are still aspects of the weather, especially a storm that is 700 miles by 1100 miles wide. This is a big one, possibly Cat 4 when it hits tonight. The size of the hurricane is greater danger than strength, in terms of storm surge. And up where its supposed to hit, the storm surge warning is 10-20 feet, twice what hit and destroyed communities all along the coast. So, yeah. Get prepared. And to our rivals in Tallehassee, please be careful. This thing is a whole lot worse than both our seasons.

[@KEICRUMBIE]

Keep up the good work Brand, it's a very appropriate question.

[@ultragator724]

I think every team remaining on our schedule beats fsu

[@thelion2358]

My preseason prediction was 8-4. If defense gets their shit together I'd be willing to go 9-3. But being that the defense does suck we'll go 7-5 if offense stays being able to score which doesn't seem to be a problem so far

[@commando3093]

Sorry but you’re absolutely delusional. They may win against FSU, and that’s about all I’d give them at this point. UCF is going to destroy this teams terrible run defense.

[@DuaneZiller]

What would you actually do if you were in charge? For the rest of this year, after you fire Billy, and then moving forward? I agree, he should be gone but just interested in the deets of what you would do.

[@brewc11]

Step one is fire Stricklin. Get a new coach... this season is a wash. Let Billy ride until a new coach is found

[@lesbyrd8293]

Just out of curiosity do you guys ever think about the impact your words can have on a recruiting. You guys beat the school down more than the other teams

[@LockedOnGators]

@@lesbyrd8293 I can’t speak for others but I have thought about it. My stance is 1. All I’m doing is being honest regardless of who’s listening so I’m not going to lie just in case recruits watch/listen. 2. Recruits almost definitely aren’t letting someone they don’t know change their mind. They’ve usually got a circle of people whose opinion they care about and I doubt I’m in there.

[@williamfisher866]

Didnt you pick UF to lose to Miss St. I cant remember.

[@LockedOnGators]

@@williamfisher866 no I picked Florida to win

[@justinjohnson6452]

Yeah so stop giving out false information if your not seeing it for yourself

[@LockedOnGators]

What false information?

[@althompson-c2d]

I have an idea! With so many universities looking for a new coach- why don't we hold on to Billy Napier until all the good replacements are gone so we can waste millions like we like to do!

[@dejacreacts4964]

Best case scenario: We come off the bye week on all cylinders and defense looks great rack up 8 wins Worst case: defense continues to look like 💩 4 win season

[@Psycho-Nomics]

What makes you think the OL is better?

[@LockedOnGators]

@@Psycho-Nomics Run-blocking wasn’t good last year, pass-blocking wasn’t good last year. Run-blocking isn’t good last year, pass-blocking is pretty good this year. Not good, but better than last year
