The glory days of Florida football are over. Prepare for multiple decades of humiliation and futility.
Your athletics department is not willing to compete with the big boys like UGA, Bama, Ohio state, lsu, and Clemson.
And in the NIL era Florida can’t compete with the deep pockets of A&M, Miami, and Auburn boosters to get the talent y’all need to be relevant again.
You just don’t and you won’t.
Dan Mullen’s recruiting put y’all in a deficit. Napier is not getting you out. He can’t close big recruits because Ruiz or Saban or Kirby will come in and out muscle him.
And Napier simply doesn’t have the coaching chops to win with inferior talent. He barely beat sun belt teams with UL-L recruiting at a much higher clip. Poor game day coach and terrible playcaller.
Yet he’s working from a talent disadvantage for most of his games. Truth be told, you would’ve been better off keeping Mullen because he’s a much better coach than Napier. Napiers only purported advantage was on the trail, but now with nil he’s getting stuffed into a locker for every serious recruit that y’all need to get back out form the middle of the pack
Maybe you’ll be .500 against South Carolina and Mizzou, and you’ll maybe beat Kentucky 1 out of 3 times moving forward.
The fact is, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU and all the other big boy programs have left you in the dust, and you’re never coming back. That’s that.
