I do think he should have hired an OC after year 1.

Team didnt score later with MUllen and now Billy.
Yes, there were questionable calls, but sooner or later we gotta look in the mirror and admit we are straight arse at a certain position group where calling Play A instead of Play B wouldve made a difference. OL cant hold a block or a pocket to save their asses.
Every team doing well has an OL thats serviceable

The offensive output isn't why I primarily want Napier to get an OC.
His playcalling in big games isn't great, but I believe that he needs to focus on big picture issues as an HC more than spending so much time as an OC/playcaller, especially since he isn't particularly amazing at it. He isn't as terrible as some say imo, but he is not good enough at it to devote time and energy towards it that he should be using to be a CEO type of HC.

Im just saying until we address the elephant in the room that is our trenches, we can hire / fire coaches every season, it wont matter.
I cant remember it being this bad

I do agree with that completely. Napier is not getting it done, but it's tiring hearing all these Florida "fans" saying that we need to hire Jedd Fisch as if he'll magically fix our problems.
I do like Fisch for the record, but don't believe he'd be doing much better, if at all, than Napier is doing now.

I like a lot of names mentioned for potential HC, but like you said theres no overnight fix here at this time.
As OC's are concerned. I like Korn's Spread Option attack, I think Lagway would be a beast in it, but if we cant hold a block that poor kid is gonna run for his life.

What he should be doing - he will only hire an OC.
1. Hiring a dedicated OC - when you can't generate consistent offense with a top 5 pick, you have a problem.
2. Replacing the S&C coordinator - It was clear the team looked soft 2-3 games into the season, especially in 2nd halves - everyone could see it.
3. No dedicated Special Teams coach - who the hell in CFB does this?
4. 2 OL coaches? That did what exactly? An OL coach that in name only was an OC? When you have 2 coaches, you have no coaches.
5. Dedicated time management personell - the fact that we have a zillion people on this staff with the time management issues we have without having a dedicated person(s) for this is inexcusable.

247 Talent Composite had us in the top 15 in the entire country prior to the 2022 season. I don't think you want to know the teams behind us.

ETN, McClellan, Norman, Douglas, Princely are all HUGE losses given the current state of Florida's roster.

Quite a few coaches actually
Not that I like it, but it's surprisingly more common than you think.
Special teams coordinator? Lincoln Riley doesn’t believe in a dedicated one for USC

I didn't realize that it was more common than I thought, but I still think someone that is supposedly as detailed as Napier is, can't focus all of their energy on every single little thing when it comes to game day prep and game day coaching.
Having no special teams coach does not help him in that regard.

I do agree overall. Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal if our special teams unit wasn't a complete dumpster fire this season.
But I just had to point that out since I was thinking what you were thinking and went down a rabbit hole and found out that quite a few coaches actually do it as well.
It's worth noting that Riley also got a lot of heat for USC's ST play this year, on top of the defensive woes, OL issues, and their suspect S&C.
Basically, they're having a lot of the same issues Napier is having here. That doesn't excuse Napier one bit, but it's funny to see it.

If the 2024 class falls apart, with LJ and X and Hayes flipping, I say fire Napier now and go out and hire Lane.
Posted on 12/9/23 at 6:20 pm to Partha
There are alot of issues to be fixed on this coaching staff
First we need a real S&C coordinator
We need 1 O-line Coach and a OC. Not 2 online coaches
definitely need a Special Teams coordinator
Billy needs to be the head coach and pay attention to all detail!!

There are tons of issues. If Napier can keep the class together he should get a chance to try to fix them. If the class falls apart, I really don't see what the point in keeping him would be.
Posted on 12/9/23 at 6:26 pm to Partha
Hes not going anywhere this year unless this class falls apart in 2 weeks.
I just have little confidence that he lasts all of next year given the schedule and the overall body of work that we've seen from his coaching.

Stopped taking seriously right about here.
We all know AR was drafted because he threw far and did a backflip at the combine, not for his production hitting half his passes
This lie works with ppl who didn’t watch him airmail balls every game.
And for the love of God, stop with team comp rankings. You can skew this number by having 4 top WRs ect. Doesn’t mean your TEAM is balanced talent wise.
Getting pushed around by Samford, USF and Charlotte should’ve opened some eyes but…

Did he play?
Princely had very few big play moments vs good teams and took plays off in moments we needed him to be a game changer ie Mizzou 4th and long
4.5 sacks vs SEC, 2.5 came against Arkansas
1 vs Mizz and 1 vs SC.
Zero vs the good Conf teams
Like I said, no huge losses for the most part.

A week or so from ESD and still no DL coach announced. Not even any substantial rumored targets?

where are the coaches?
what's with the portal?
what the hell are y'all doing?

I don’t get it either
You’d think a guy whos possibly on the block would move quick to land some big hires and gain some favor
Unless he’s packing already
