I understand what you are arguing, and it would be hard to think you could not beat Arkansas...because i agree 100% with that one. But Utah had a solid team and beat you by 13. (2 TD) Mizzou was a close game, but they had a very good team. I would argue that to play them that close was a fluke for Florida, and FSU? They could have been in the playoffs. Granted by the time they played you they had lost their QB, but they had a very solid defense.
Arkansas I can see your point. The others, not so much. They were very good teams that, imo, should have beaten Florida. Mizzou was a 10 game winner and FSU narrowly missed the CFP. It's hard for me to put blame on the coach for losing to better teams, and I would argue the other three (apart from Arkansas) were better teams. If your argument is you kept it close and had a shot...I can understand that, but then you open the door to South Carolina saying they could have beaten you, too.

We weren't bad enough to go 5-7 last year but I get your points. We were walking all over fsu in the first half then just fell apart. Mizzou and Arkansas we matched drive for drive but our defense couldn't hang on.
That's the issue with Napier. In any given game we have half the team balling out and the other half just taking up space. Or both are doing ok and then special teams puts 8 guys out on a FG attempt.
These are not talent issues, they're problems with coaching structure and focus. Napier is running the offense and trusting the other position coaches to do their jobs and doesn't step in when they don't.
We just can't get a complete team because we don't have a ceo.

I've said it before but he's a decent playcaller. His problem is managing a whole team. Until he can do that he shouldn't be doing two jobs
His playcalling is okay, not good enough to take away from him focusing on being HC and especially since he does such a shitty job as a HC during game day that it really isn’t worth the squeeze and effort
It’s also retarded to have so many analysts and extra staff but to put so much responsibility on what’s supposed to be the ceo of the operation
Like logically it’s such a flawed organizational hierarchy imo
Napier is a fricking arrogant dipshit imo he just hides it better than Mullen and Mac

Utah ended up going 7-5, that wasn't a very good team. We lost that game because of Napier's shitty offensive play calling and the all time dipshit move of having 2 players on the field at the same time with the same number (which gave Utah 7 points).
We were a 4th and 18 away from beating Mizzou. Despite Mertz getting knocked out and again Napier's shite play calling.
We were dominating FSU in the first half (and our backup QB was playing too) until again Napier got in his own way.

Out of curiosity, and hoping for a reasonable discussion...which games did you lose that you felt you should have won?
Had Arkansas beat, missed a field goal and lost in overtime. Couldn't get the FG team on the field, poor clock management. Coaching
Had Mizzou 4th-17 and gave up the final TD due to poor execution or blown assignment. Coaching
Had FSU beat until a poor coaching decision turned the whole game around.
Coaching
See a trend here? Talent is not the issue, although the Gators don't have the elite talent of a few teams that will remain unnamed, they had as much or more than these 3 teams, and Kentucky, Tenn, Vandy, Utah, USCe., Mc Neese, charlotte. That's 9 teams out of 12 that IMO the Gators should have beaten with better coaching, play calling, execution.

What does Napier have to do this year?

What is Napier’s buyout? Can he just retire and go hang out with O and Jimbo?

It's how he loses the games this year not how many

The Gators were an 8-4 football team last year that found a way to be 5-7 because of poor coaching, poor execution and undisciplined play. That is all I expect.
I thought he was a damn good coach at ULL. According to local media he desperately wanted the LSU job and was politicking hard behind the scenes for that. I wanted LSU to interview him but for reasons unknown they had no interest at all. Did they know something others didn't? Who knows maybe the SEC is just too much for him?

He won a truck load of 1 score games with significantly better talent then everyone.
Hud left the cupboard pretty stocked but was too busy hobknobbing with the Lafayette elite by the end.
His strategy to shorten games then win off talent and analytics percentages in the end is a risky one in the SEC

He needs to go at least 9-3.

Going to see him again next weekend…not an official so I’m guessing not the offer we’re interested in. No big deal though.

The Gators will be one of the most experienced teams in the SEC as it relates to returning production: 70% on offense and 66% on defense. With that said, Napier and the Gators obviously will have to win a couple of games they are expected to lose: Beating Miami to start the season would be huge, win over Georgia while hoisting a cocktail, and beating those rival Seminoles. The schedule is brutal, yes. But, stranger things have happened in this strange world of college football. Thanks!!

Would losing to UCF be a fireable offense?

Is there a team in the country that could run that gauntlet and remain unbeaten?

Florida, Arkansas, Miss St are set all at 4.5 wins over/under.
Which school has the best chance of bowling at 6-6?
