Gators will be fine. There will be some quality quarterbacks portaling after not winning starting jobs in the spring.

Spencer Rattler to UF would have been fun.



We'd put his arse in the dirt in Jax just as easily as Williams-Brice or Between the Hedges.

In our defense, a significant number of LSU journalists were openly campaigning for Napiers hiring and blasted LSU for not hiring him.

It's just schadenfreude.

I'm still not convinced that he was a bad hire for Florida, but I am glad we got Kelly instead.

He's going to need to open up the offense if he wants transfer QBs

AR looked like shite last year was obviously partially on him but the offense didn't help the cause

Going back to ULL even Levi Lewis looked pretty bad in it despite running it for 3/4 years

Link to UF recruiting Howard?

Sun Belt Billy already took two transfer QBs. They were never in the Walker Howard sweepstakes.


Wrong. Howard cancelled his trip last minute

I’ll never understand the disdain for this guy. He wanted the job here. Wasn’t offered the job here. Took the Florida job and people here act like he’s slighted LSU in some way. We got a better coach, yet folks continue to hate on this guy for whatever reason.


He coaches at Florida. That's it. Not hard to understand

This may be true in time. Them wandering around in the wastelands, however is better for everyone who doesn't cheer for them. Do you realize after the umpteen wins and 1 loss by the Spurrier gators to LSU our record is now tied?

I feel bad for Billy. He is working with a program that is broke.

I don't feel bad for Florida though

Dude is so far in over his head. Our new president takes over soon. Hopefully he cleans house. The entire football department and AD need to be fresh starts. We ain’t doing shite until then.

Same story different coach. They will go down with the sinking ship and then act like they knew all along. Billy Napier is a fricking joke. Dude should still be coaching receivers for Saban.

He really walked into a bad situation IMO.

Richardson was criminally overrated as a QB by their fan base, giving them an unrealistic expectation of what Napier had to work with. He was more rich man’s Emory Jones than poor man’s Cam Newton like they expected.

Making the situation even worse, the OL is a train wreck and the skill players are average at best. I respect Mullen as a play caller, but he didn’t leave much of anything for Napier to work with from a talent standpoint.

I do think Napier is better off without the NIL headaches that would’ve accompanied Rashada. The issue there is he would’ve come in expecting to start and his tape doesn’t make me think he could do what guys like Tua, Bryce or Joe Burrow couldn’t, that is play winning football as a TF.

So he would’ve showed up not ready, lost the starting job and immediately become a locker room issue while again making the fans think Napier had more to work with than he actually did.

He’s showing some progress in rebuilding the OL via the portal, but I’m not sure he has any real weapons at the skill positions which is going to be a problem considering Mertz isn’t a guy who should be starting in the SEC either.

All in all 2023 is looking like another tough season down in Gainesville.

What happened to Mertz? Has he committed anywhere?
