re: How long are you willing to give Napier?

Set bullet point expectations isn't what's needed. As a few others have said it just needs to be the overall flow of the program.

Having OM as my other team has taught me this. Best comparison is the Hugh Freeze era.

2011 we were 2-10 Nutt got fired.
In 2012 nothing was expected of OM but we went 6-6 then won the bowl game to finish 7-6.
2013 followed it up with a 8-5 season. (Still trending up)
2014 9-4. Peach bowl
2015 10-3 Sugar Bowl.
2016 5-7 all went to shite.

But the key from 2011 to 2015 was the yearly improvement. Not just in the Win/Loss column but in the overall feel of the team and everything.

Dont get me wrong we had all kinds of crazy shite happen and went down with that team. But that ride from 2012 till 2015 was amazing and it was because the team kept slowly growing and was trending upwards.

UF seems to be a major mess right now. Obviously not 2-10 OM bad but essentially the programs equivalent. UF has higher expectations and a higher ceiling than OM overall. But CBN needs to be judged over how the program is built from this moment on. Not on "ok its year XXX i expected XXX"

At least thats my outlook on it.
