Will Florida ever win the East under Billy?

Will Florida ever be in playoff discussions in November, under Billy?

Between FSU, Miami, UCF, and Florida, will Florida ever be the best team in the state, under Billy?

Is this Florida's new normal? "Let's just get to a bowl game"?

It's a rhetorical question, I know Florida has higher goals than that.

But you know you can't do it with Billy.

So how long are you going to hang on to him?

Why are you afraid of Florida?

Florida officially took the trophy from Auburn for most trigger-happy program last year.

Two coaches winning the East within their first two years, and they fired both of them.

Now they’ve got Bargain Bin Billy losing to Vandy.

Couldn’t happen to a better fan base.

Remember when Florida beat Utah and LSU lost to Florida State and this entire board went ape shite talking about how LSU had missed on the coach in its own backyard.

Seems like a long time ago.

And now Florida State is about to wax the Gators.

I don't want our rivalry to turn into what the Georgia Tech rivalry has become. I certainly want to keep it lopsided in Georgia's favor, but I at least want the game to be hyped every Halloween.

Why are you so obsessed with us if we're so terrible? Afraid Billy could overtake Kirby in recruiting and be the top dog?

This is just odd.

It is hard to win at Florida. Only two coaches have ever won there. It is just a hard place to win.

Got bored with the LSU and Lane Kiffin topics, thought I'd spice it up with a troll of my least favorite team.

Why don't you opine on the subject? Just call me obsessed? That's all you have? Hell, maybe that is all you have.

I'm sure that has to be it

Out of curiosity what are the current recruiting rankings?

Kirby Smart went 8-5 in his first season with losses to Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vandy, Florida, and Tech.

Mullen finished his first three seasons ranked #7, #6, and #13 in the final AP Poll. He won the East that third year. He was fired after his fourth season for going 5-6.

Malzahn won the SEC Championship and finished #2 in the AP, losing the BCSCG in the final seconds. He was fired 7 years later for going 6-4.

Which sounds more “trigger happy” to you?

Thus

I want Brian Kelly to beat Saban every year, either close like this year or blow him out of the water.

Doesn't mean I want Bama to start losing to Vandy or 4&8, I'd rather the game not be at 11AM. I'd rather the hype of the 2011 GOTC but with a game more like this season's.

Think of it like this

Billy Napier at LSU

Brian Kelly at UF

Who do you think you’d be more afraid to play?

That will tell you who the better coach is

Neither

Nor am I afraid of either in their current places

Billy is a sun belt coach

Brian is 0-2 against Kirby and can’t win big games that matter

Looks like currently a higher rating (not ranking) on rivals, at least. That's a pretty encouraging sign.
