just an FYI, lagway has said he hasn't been told of billy hiring an OC or playcaller.


I was afraid this was going to happen. The defense was so atrocious that they provided cover to the offensive issues and gave Napier a lifeline to keep the status quo in offense for next year.

Let’s be honest, why would a recruit know anything until it happens?

I’m a HC, sure I’m gonna tell a kid my moves before I make em so he can tell his buddies and then the world knows

We are a complete mess in the portal right now and not even bringing in in good depth for the most part so far. The D lineman is the only transfer that appears to be quality SEC depth at this point. We are losing starters and bringing in even less talent unless some major pickups happen soon. It's almost like a hurting sunbelt team would be doing in the portal.

Or Bama, or Georgia or any team with a longevity of siccess

I already said it, idgaf about the portal. Kids quit on their first team, they’ll quit on us ala FSU.
I’d rather not land 1 portal kid and win 6-8 games than go all portal, win 9-10 games then get fkn embarrassed by 60 pts on National tv because they all quit

You build your team recruiting, you add a piece or 2 on transfers that you couldn’t fill recruiting. Not the other way around.
Other than Mertz / Ricky. Name a portal player this yr that made an impact.

that’s because Napier sucks at the portal

Plenty of teams have had impact players in the portal
Texas ad Mitchell
Bama j Burton

We are getting 2nd and 3rd stringers from p5 teams and fcs level talent in the portal that’s why we see no impact

If we’re not in the arms race, we already established the HC doesn’t matter in that regard.

Is the sec tv money worth it when we lose 7-9 games every year for the next 10-15 years at minimum?

lol. You literally proved my point by naming a team like Bama that is built on recruiting and adding a player or 2 from the portal instead of building a team through the portal
Which is what I just said is what the portal should be used for.

We added top DL and OL from the portal last yr. None of them did much to get you excited.

Again, we already established that UF isn’t opening the checkbook to do so.

Billy can be a great dude to talk to, but these kids wanna get PAID
They’re going where the bag is. Period

Think of it like a team of street racers. Your car can be good, have top performance parts here n there. But other teams start spending more money to pass you up and eventually do so.

Your answer is changing drivers

You make a valid argument. And I agree with what you're saying. But, what if the driver is impaired?

Mullen was a pretty good playcaller

He went 2-6 in the same race car

We can bring in Kiffin but if the money stays the same, we’ll never build a championship team

Mullen put a stamp on it, and mailed it in. Napier has no idea where the post office is located.
