re: 2026 Florida Gator Football Season Thread

It is year one.....people are new to sports. You have to be,....

Year 1... QB 1 went somewhere else and your depth at that position sucks. You are left with two bad options. You have a terrible defense and you offensive line is very, very average. Came off a 4-8 season....have a brutal schedule, but people expect year 1 you to be 12-0 or 11-1 despite all that. People are new to sports it seems.



Some people are very new to sports it seems.

I get if we look like this in year 3...but fricking year 1? Insanity is very much blinding people.

And lets be very clear. I am not a homer who says positive stuff no matter what. I hated Napier very much(honestly have never hated a UF head coach in all my years). So you can bump my post from last year or 2 years ago. Most will probably be angry bitching about Napier...but this staff seems pretty damn good. They need time, they were given a shitstorm at best. So lets see how it plays out. If you thought a year 1 coach with a backup QB with a bad defense and an average Oline was going to beat the clearly best coach in Football who is also loaded with 5 star talent. Well ..outside of a crazy upset it was not happening.

I been saying that for 2 weeks

Reminds me alot of tre Wilson and his injury stuff would only play 3 or maybe 4 games a year then hurt the rest of the time
Transfers to LSWHO and no injuries at all plays 40 to 50 snaps a game

So something is definitely going on for sure

I think he is shutting it down for the year you can see it on the face of Sumrall, and I also think he told him he was going to the portal after the season

I saw a bunch of complaints about the coaching in this game on the ON3 site and I'm not sure why.

I'm not going to tell you it was some secret coaching masterclass, but the plays that decided the outcome of this game were almost all on execution on the part of the players.

-Philo underhanded interception
-Singleton drop leading to pick
-Singleton drop that likely would have resulted in us getting at least a FG
-Pryor not pass blocking
-Tramell interception into the endzone (after he was specifically told to look out for the DB falling off and baiting him)
-Roughing the punter penalty.

Then of course you have the OL blocking (or lack of) which you can decide yourself how much of that is coaching vs us recruiting a bunch of 3 stars for the entire Napier tenure and having to scramble to put an OL together this year.

The coaching job on the defensive side of the ball looks legitimately impressive if it sustains. I was ready to fire Brad White into the sun after the first few weeks.

I have not been impressed with Buster at times but its hard to take a real inventory of him with the OL issues and ceiling we have in terms of QB play.

No doubt.

We have to get good players in the portal at OL, DL, and DB.

Two things..
-White isn’t going anywhere unless he voluntarily leaves.
-Aranda is overrated.

Please explain. Some guys aren't meant to be HC. This guy is solid as DC.
