Willie Billie is done... 40 years, I have been a passionate Gator fan. I feel betrayed, let down, and lied to by Napier. He is not the guy. Basement dwellers has me pissed off as well. Ali, no way to spin it he is a joke.
Since 1986 here (2 years less than you, old guy) and when came I kinda got that same feeling as I had when the ole ball coach headed for the beach in SC and left that pile of Zook behind
As a lifelong Gator fan the thing that really distressed me was what looked like a lack of effort. Watching our offensive tackles kind of standing still and watching Miami’s defensive tackles run by them was pathetic and that is 100% on the coaching staff.
All the crap I said the first year. Even before the season started. I went back to watch his games when he was at Louisiana and I didn’t like what I seen. I definitely didn’t like the margin in which he won when given the players he had when he won. He recruited better than every one in the sun belt but he barely won games. Ppl was really hyped for that. I didn’t understand it and then the season started and he proved me right for 2 years. We look like a high school team. Napier isn’t ready for this level of play. Reason why he got dismissed at Clemson
He was the OC at Clemson and Dabo fired him after 1 season!!! He was at Arizona State as the OC in title only because Todd Graham was their play caller…. Billy didn’t start calling plays again until he became the HC at Louisiana!!!! His offense is stale and boring just like he is
He seems so confident in his offense that if it’s not effective it’s because players fail to execute perfectly, yet every defense is different and they can adapt to our offense system that Never changes
Your Title grabbed me lol I been saying since day one his play calling is to predictable his concepts cuts half the field off tightens the run lanes most plays only have 2 Wr going out on routes with a defense dropping 8 in coverage
I see the stress in your eyes. Let it go. They can only be who they are. I’m a 66 year old alumnus. Never seen such embarrassment than the last 3 years. Zero improvement. As far as Billy wearing too many hats, guy seems incapable of handling one. Evaluation of future AD and head coach needs to be in the hands of far wiser minds. Sometimes what we want simply isn’t going to happen. The mental errors are a reflection of leadership. Sigh. Still waiting for improvement. The athletes deserve better. What Billy looks like, seems to be what he is. Slow, lifeless and simple. What troubles me is that he has always looked and sounded like this. Wondering how he was chosen and by whom. Thinking too many sycophants in the program and hierarchy of my school. Shame.
Even with the potential of DJ Lagway starting vs Samford, the offense won't look different as long as Napier is the playcaller. Plus, the offensive line is still atrocious. Playcalling and OL are the biggest issues on this offense and Napier is the one who refused to address either area. That is what will eventually due him in
The ONLY way the Gators will be able to move forward in a positive and productive manner is with a REAL head coach. You’re absolutely correct on: 1) Miami was more prepared, 2) Miami was much more physical on both sides of the ball, 3) Miami even used a few trick plays. Florida was 0 for 3 on all of the above. Whose fault is that? Whose fault is it that they run the same fucking scheme and plays against EVERY team? The head coach HAS to be fired soon if you expect any hope to a winning season for 2024 or 2025. One final point, with all of these failures, it’s not fair to the players not to be coached properly. By the way, we all heard Cam Ward won’t be able to handle the intensity of the Swamp. Really? Cam Ward played with so much confidence and was at ease, it looked like he was playing QB at a neighborhood pick up game. I saw the infamous Swap, get drained.
This is a lost season, Billy or no Billy. You are not getting anyone of substance to leave their program to come in mid season. So whoever you get is a stop gap until the real head coach arrives.
A good coach knows how to adapt to the other team, usually shows up after they make adjustments at the half. Billy makes no adjustments just keeps calling the same plays. This team would dominate the Sun Belt, problem is we are in the SEC
UM is bigger, stronger, faster, quicker, meaner, 2 deep on both lines, has a better QB, & offense & defense, and had a better game plan. Besides these points, UF was the better team😂
Listen. I'm just gonna be honest with you all and I'm sure I'll get some hate but this is just how I feel about this situation. I'm a Kentucky fan. Do you all know how much us Kentucky fans used to dread seeing Florida on our schedule? How much we hated that game? How we just knew that Florida had 10x the talent and we were gonna get killed? Florida was elite. Florida was going to kill us. Not beat us, kill us. That's how I, a fan of another school, viewed Florida. Now? Kentucky has been the better coached team. Now, Kentucky has a winning streak against Florida. Now, Kentucky fans expect to win this game. I like to believe I'm a pretty rational fan. I am in no way saying Florida can't and will not beat Kentucky at the swamp this year. I'm saying there used to be a time, not that long ago might I add, that even us Kentucky fans penciled in an L on the schedule before the season started. Now, we believe we can win and have won. Florida needs to get Napier out of there now. That's just my opinion. Florida has too much talent to be struggling the way they are.
Great job, Ali! I hope he realizes (and admits) that something HAS to change. We simply will not tolerate a repeat of the last 2 seasons regardless of how difficult the schedule is.
Strickland is going to let Napier die as the HC, all while planning on 2025. Richardson said he was leaving Florida due to Napier had he not decided to go to the NFL. He is not respected at the level a Florida Head Coach should be.
It’s much easier to be aggressive and play faster when you’re prepared and know what to expect from your opponent. Miami ran man coverage ALL game long!
ali, the head ball coach didn't have a play book. He would design plays on paper and give his guys copies for that week. That is why florida was unpredictable on offense every week!
Florida teams always plays with Fire in past iterations. Napiers team lack fire and aggression. They play scared to make mistakes and do reflect the coaches (all) sideline behavior.
That “ we weren’t creative enough” answer just doesn’t work here. The truth is, we don’t have the players, especially on the line of scrimmage where we were completely beaten. If you look at our schedule, we are going to be lucky to win four games with the line of scrimmage we have. just look at how much Miami has improved along the O and D line and how much we have regressed. And yes, we were sloppy and yes, the plays were unimaginative, etc. But it doesn’t matter if you can’t block and tackle-that’s the whole ball game and we don’t have it!
@@gatorguysix7631you still in denial 😂😂😂 Ward when into Oregon last year with a terrible OL / Team and still put up 400 passing yards. Kid is cold period.
It’s already the end of the billy taggert era Ali you can’t salvage this it’s too much damage as been done and we’ve been the laughingstock since the Jim McElwain era.
As a Miami fan I feel the gator pain, we dealt with so much shit switching coaches every 3 or 4 years the last 20 years. Ali makes some good points, and you can tell she loves the gators. If Mertz is back you all will beat A&M, and sneak in couple other wins you didn't think you would... Lets see what happens...
@@gatorguysix7631yep…..looks like BAMA’s O-line debacle last year…..evidently, size doesn’t matter. UF’s R. Tackle was having major issues. Is he a sub?
Ole ball coach said it all with Dooley, "change something". This level of job is too much for Billy, the lack of emotion is a problem, the lack of drive is a problem, the lack of heart is a problem, and im talking about coaching. These guys are non existant on the side line. Football is all about anger, rage and harnessing that against your opponent. If our coach can't get right how are players expected to be? And how do we still have Waites on the starting Oline? Does he have any desire to be there?
I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t surprised by the performance on Saturday. After the Utah game last year I had no confidence that Billy could prepare a football team at this level. So, my prediction for the season was 3 or 4 wins. Billy has consistently “over” sold and the team has “underperformed “. He takes responsibility and that’s great but how about some improvement? In year 1 we had a top 5 NFL draft pick at QB and NFL caliber linemen and that was our best year under Billy. We have talented players but anyone at that level? Who knows? The players aren’t put in positions that maximize their potential and I am sorry but that is 100% on the staff. I wanted this team to grow and improve but given the track record I just didn’t see it. Now, the reality is here and it sucks. I was so looking forward to this season and after the 1st quarter your eyes already hurt from what you’re seeing. It’s so sad.
Still waiting for you to put some respect on Miami’s name after you aggressively eye rolled every single Miami reporter that you brought on to talk about the team, and then the game played out exactly how they told you it would.
20 years irrelevant and beat down a lost Florida team, and after 1 game “you’re back”. Wisdom tells us all to pump the brakes, it’s a long season. However, I will say BASED ON WEEK 1 GAMES, Miami is now the favorite to win the weakened ACC conference.
@@gatorguysix7631 no one is saying Miami is back. You people need to give up this absolutely moronic lie. It’s like whenever you don’t want to deal with reality you just mindlessly regurgitate these stupid lines.
I really hope UF has some fine print that says “if you suck ass at coaching and/or intentionally tank the team to get out of your contract for a big pay day, this contract is null and void sucka.”
Ok do you not see the problem with oh well maybe i should Now coach a new scheme around callway when it should of been done in the off season. Cmon man... Gator through thick and thin. Go Gators! Napier is in over his head.
With a gazillion coaches, advisors, grad assistants on-staff .... don't we have some people in charge of making sure we don't become to predictable? Presuming we DO have coaches doing that, they're not doing their job very well. IF they are doing their job and Napier is ignoring them, then that's another explanation as to why we don't see improvement on the field. Napier's pre-season boasts remind me of Jim McElwain's praise of the Gators' "dramatically improved" offensive line before it was destroyed by Michigan's defense in the 2017 season opener. And we know how that worked out for McElwain.
Really, it's just this simple Nothing personal, but Napier hasn't put these kids in a good position to be successful for the past 3 years... We have declined each year under his leadership!! What does it take for Strickland to get his head out his butt and see this is not what's best for the team or the program!!! If Strickland doesn't see that then he can go with Napier as well... The proof is in the pudding
I watched the game, and i rewatched the game. UF ran too many plays at the line of scrimmage when Miami had the box stacked. They never attacked downfield when they should have. UF also had a few penalties at the worst possible times.
We needed UM's DC to tell us this? We knew this and if we said it last year you were labeled not "a real Gator or Gator fan". Thank you for no longer believing his lies and instead believing what your eyes have told you for 2+ seasons. Go Gators and goodbye Billy.
It's very weird that nationally recognized coaches become completely ineffective at UF. Corey Raymond - reported to be a DB guru but 2 years at UF and no one seemed to improve. Ron Robert's - innovative defensive coach and the defense was worse. The players appeared to be unprepared which raises the question of what these coaches are doing. Offensive line 'coaches' seem to think the right side of the line doesn't exist. Fired the defensive coaches without change so what good would getting rid of Sale be? That's the question I'd like to see answered, what's happening to all the coaches he hires?
I said this 2 years ago my god I wish I could be wrong. Everybody sings my tune now and it took this for all you 🐊 media RUclips channels to wake 🆙 and opened yall 👀.
Same predictable offense & play calls that ended his run at Clemson...! Ali, how stupid do the Gators look from ALL THIS?? If Napier truly wants what's best for UF on the field, then he, would , CHANGE these things about his scheme & bring in a good OC! Napier is proving that he doesn't actually know how to step up & play. SEC football!
Sorry Ali, you haven't been paying attention. Yeah, the first series seemed to go well last year. Problem is, like you said, we all knew what was coming on certain downs and distances. So of course opposing DC's are going to figure that out as well. Instead of worrying about changes that might be made, you should start making some content on the one change that needs to be made. Billy fed you a line of BS all offseason and you bought it. He's been over his head since he got here. Here is my question for you: what will it take to get Urban Meyer back as the Florida coach? You've had him on. Ask him!
If BN got rid of the bunch formations that take 3 to 4 seconds for the routes to clear because there are nine guys in the box, that'd help a lot. Oh, wait. That makes too much sense.
Miami didn’t under perform the first two years!! It takes at least 3 years to turn a mediocre team around lady. Miami did okay with the caliber of talent they had. The difference is both coaches are in year 3 and one program is where it should be and the other isn’t!!!
I am not here to troll. I did my fair share of trolling before this game was even played. I do want to point out that Florida pundits and fans saying Florida wanted this game more than Miami because Florida's schedule or Billy's hot seat is laughable. This game was more about the rivalry and the recruits. Miami absolutely wanted this game just as much as Florida, if not more ! Mario knew the impact this game had on recruiting, and I assure you this game was his #1 priority. Not to mention, Coach Cristobal was a part of this rivalry as well. He knows what it means ! The other thing I want to point out believe it or not, a lot of Hurricane fans were disappointed in Florida as well ! I know some fans love a blowout, but there is nothing better than beating your rival in a nail bitter when they are at their best ! Good luck with the rest of your season ! Looking forward to a better matchup next year !
Self scouting is something that is done after every year I’ve coached no matter what. To self identify tendencies. Usually DC does it for OC and vice versa. Two OCs Kerwin or Kade Bell. Stats don’t lie. Points.
I’m not trying to be political but the first presidential debate last June reminded me of the Miami game, and where the University of Florida could learn something from the Democrats. During the Biden/Trump debate where Biden got steamrolled, the Democrats made the decision that despite being a great guy it was apparent Biden just wasn’t up to the task, and needed to be replaced. I think you see where I’m going with this.
Miami was better coached I’ll hear you that but even in plays where UF has the right defense, Miami’s playmakers were able to improvise and advance the ball. Miami is over all a more talented team and it’s not even close.
But that is why Florida fans are so upset- we have similar NIL support, better facilities and a coach that started the same time as Mario. There is zero reason for there to be such a gap, but there is.
@@uffootball no question UF should be good enough to not get blown out at home. Side note, facilities are over rated in this NIL world. Miami put their $100 million football operations center on temp hold and used some of that money for NIL. This decision was clearly the right one: top 7 class after 5-7 and top 4 class after 7-6. At the end of the day, a program needs competent ppl in the building that can evaluate, recruit and develop talent.
Gator fans! You beat a ranked Utah at home in 2022 who beat USC twice who was led by the Heisman Winner Caleb Williams. That Utah team kept USC from going to the College playoffs by beating them in the PAC 10 championship game. You beat a ranked Tennessee at home in 2023 bad. This 2024 Miami team talent wise is better than both of those teams. UF isn't just a blue chip ratio team in 2024 but Miami as well!
Looking in from the outside as in HURRICANE fan. I believe all the points you signaled are spot on. Miami simply took command of the game. Gators are still good enough to play like they mean business and surprise teams. No reason to give up on good players, a coaching adjustment and "creativity" in running new plays may pave the way to better outcomes. C'mon the Florida Gators are much better than what the showed last Saturday. Most Canes fans thought it was going to be a very close game. Gators just need to perform, they do have talent.
Lady who gives af about what you are buying.. But Miami is like that FREAKIN 4 REAL .. you don't have to Buy it when you gonna see and feel it for free
Miami fan here! UF gonna go 8-4. Y’all have a good team but y’all don’t play together! I believe Miami is a top 5 team and ward is the best QB THEY’ll face all year. UF will bounce back and beat Texas A&M and Tennessee
Napier is the 4th coach since Urban Meyer left. Hopefully the big money (Bull Gators) like Ben Hill Griffin type contributors are still out there and are also tired of this sub- standard mediocrity in this Gator football program for the past 15 years. For crying out loud will you guys with clout stand up to the athletic director and demand a proven and respected coach to lead the once great Gators back to prominence once again???? For the love of God, Please!!!!!!!!!!!
I had Billy Madison getting fired after he takes a loss to Kentucky, I take that back. When Tennessee beats Florida by 30, Napier will get fired before playing Kentucky.
Last year, miami sucked a lot with our offensive coordinator. This year, same guy, he looks like a goat! What changed, the QB. Napier can do it. He will start showing off with Lagway because he is forced to play him this week due to concussion protocol.
Miami fan here, I hate those large buy out options in coaches contracts and also when schools extend them after one good year; feels like coaches know they have millions to look forward to and continue stubborn habits. Mario is not perfect, but he seems to be willing to improve himself -cautiously optimistic though.
Jedd Fisch is a Gator alum and has a very prolific offense. It’s similar to the fun & gun style that so many fans know and love. Not saying he’s my number one choice but he definitely deserves a hard look. 👀
End the guarantee of millions of dollars even if you do a terrible job as a coach. Add a clause stating the coach must meet certain performance criteria to be eligible for a buyout. Napier knows he can run the Gator football program into the ground and he will still walk away with millions and millions of dollars. And for what? For doing a terrible job and insulting Florida fans. Must be nice to do an awful job and walk away with more money than most people could earn in several life times.
All those getting paid (coaches and athletes) need a commission-based contract. Otherwise, what’s the motivation if it’s not internal (doing the right thing and creating value for yourself)?
Coming from a Hawkeye fan (also a new out of state Gator parent/fan) this is crazy. Iowa has always been predictable just do not I repeat DO NOT seek out Brian Ferentz as an OC :)
Two things University of New Hampshire Football needs this speech. 2. Let’s not go to hard with UM looking great. Have you seen their weak ass schedule. At least UF is going up against real teams this year. I’m not a gator fan but I’m going to call it as I see it.
Billy calls the same 6 or 7 plays ... Vanilla would be an understatement...

As a Miami fan I feel the gator pain, we dealt with so much shit switching coaches every 3 or 4 years the last 20 years. Ali makes some good points, and you can tell she loves the gators. If Mertz is back you all will beat A&M, and sneak in couple other wins you didn't think you would... Lets see what happens...
We ain't beating anyone... y'all gonna be firing Cristobal sooner than later
Mertz sucks
@@rmg797 SOUR GRAPES, You got trouble a plenty in your own back yard BuBBa
@@rmg797😂😂😂 you hurt bud this the Miami we been ready to see since 02

You need to retract your QB evaluation on Mertz vs Ward!! If you know how to recognize a grade A QB no way it’s Mertz.
Dude, Ward would be running for his friggin life every other play with our OL. They’re both good QB’s.
@@gatorguysix7631yep…..looks like BAMA’s O-line debacle last year…..evidently, size doesn’t matter. UF’s R. Tackle was having major issues. Is he a sub?
@@gatorguysix7631 The eye easily recognizes that Ward is better. He didn’t have an OL at WSU. Never threw for a total of 91 yards. But anyway!!!
Ole ball coach said it all with Dooley, "change something". This level of job is too much for Billy, the lack of emotion is a problem, the lack of drive is a problem, the lack of heart is a problem, and im talking about coaching. These guys are non existant on the side line. Football is all about anger, rage and harnessing that against your opponent. If our coach can't get right how are players expected to be? And how do we still have Waites on the starting Oline? Does he have any desire to be there?
I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t surprised by the performance on Saturday. After the Utah game last year I had no confidence that Billy could prepare a football team at this level. So, my prediction for the season was 3 or 4 wins. Billy has consistently “over” sold and the team has “underperformed “. He takes responsibility and that’s great but how about some improvement? In year 1 we had a top 5 NFL draft pick at QB and NFL caliber linemen and that was our best year under Billy. We have talented players but anyone at that level? Who knows? The players aren’t put in positions that maximize their potential and I am sorry but that is 100% on the staff. I wanted this team to grow and improve but given the track record I just didn’t see it. Now, the reality is here and it sucks. I was so looking forward to this season and after the 1st quarter your eyes already hurt from what you’re seeing. It’s so sad.
Still waiting for you to put some respect on Miami’s name after you aggressively eye rolled every single Miami reporter that you brought on to talk about the team, and then the game played out exactly how they told you it would.
Yall are not Alabama or even Florida state to get respect please stop it
@@MrFLstyle lmfao 0-2 FSU that’s on its way to its fifth losing season in seven years? You inbreds will cling to ANY braindead spin to avoid reality.
@@MrFLstyle They're going to stomp FSU
20 years irrelevant and beat down a lost Florida team, and after 1 game “you’re back”. Wisdom tells us all to pump the brakes, it’s a long season. However, I will say BASED ON WEEK 1 GAMES, Miami is now the favorite to win the weakened ACC conference.
@@gatorguysix7631 no one is saying Miami is back. You people need to give up this absolutely moronic lie. It’s like whenever you don’t want to deal with reality you just mindlessly regurgitate these stupid lines.
Florida is the only team in the SEC that wears their "game grade" on their helmet......Go Vols
It was obvious that we did the exact same thing that was already on film for Miami to prepare for.
Didn’t matter. You have no one who can block that d line bro.
Miami best defensive player didn’t play…
@@AffirmativeAffirMATEit does matter, they knew what to attack that’s why they looked better
Now Florida knows what the Vols went through ten years ago! All that money wasted on a sub par coach!
Miami was just that much better.
I really hope UF has some fine print that says “if you suck ass at coaching and/or intentionally tank the team to get out of your contract for a big pay day, this contract is null and void sucka.”
💯💯💯
QB play is awful. You were wrong about Mertz. Cam Ward on his worst day is better than Mertz on his best
Ok do you not see the problem with oh well maybe i should Now coach a new scheme around callway when it should of been done in the off season. Cmon man... Gator through thick and thin. Go Gators! Napier is in over his head.
What’s up Canes Nation. Famu coming to town. They will get spanked worse than the Gators did. It feels good to be a Canes Fan. 🙌
With a gazillion coaches, advisors, grad assistants on-staff .... don't we have some people in charge of making sure we don't become to predictable? Presuming we DO have coaches doing that, they're not doing their job very well. IF they are doing their job and Napier is ignoring them, then that's another explanation as to why we don't see improvement on the field.
Napier's pre-season boasts remind me of Jim McElwain's praise of the Gators' "dramatically improved" offensive line before it was destroyed by Michigan's defense in the 2017 season opener. And we know how that worked out for McElwain.
Fire Billy's ass now
Really, it's just this simple Nothing personal, but Napier hasn't put these kids in a good position to be successful for the past 3 years... We have declined each year under his leadership!! What does it take for Strickland to get his head out his butt and see this is not what's best for the team or the program!!! If Strickland doesn't see that then he can go with Napier as well... The proof is in the pudding
I watched the game, and i rewatched the game. UF ran too many plays at the line of scrimmage when Miami had the box stacked. They never attacked downfield when they should have. UF also had a few penalties at the worst possible times.
We needed UM's DC to tell us this? We knew this and if we said it last year you were labeled not "a real Gator or Gator fan". Thank you for no longer believing his lies and instead believing what your eyes have told you for 2+ seasons. Go Gators and goodbye Billy.
The offense was 47th in the country. It was not "good"
It's very weird that nationally recognized coaches become completely ineffective at UF. Corey Raymond - reported to be a DB guru but 2 years at UF and no one seemed to improve. Ron Robert's - innovative defensive coach and the defense was worse. The players appeared to be unprepared which raises the question of what these coaches are doing. Offensive line 'coaches' seem to think the right side of the line doesn't exist. Fired the defensive coaches without change so what good would getting rid of Sale be? That's the question I'd like to see answered, what's happening to all the coaches he hires?
I said this 2 years ago my god I wish I could be wrong. Everybody sings my tune now and it took this for all you 🐊 media RUclips channels to wake 🆙 and opened yall 👀.
You were right Q-lee
Same predictable offense & play calls that ended his run at Clemson...! Ali, how stupid do the Gators look from ALL THIS?? If Napier truly wants what's best for UF on the field, then he, would , CHANGE these things about his scheme & bring in a good OC! Napier is proving that he doesn't actually know how to step up & play. SEC football!
Thx Ali, we will suffer through together, Lol, keep up the great work!!!! 💯
Sorry Ali, you haven't been paying attention. Yeah, the first series seemed to go well last year. Problem is, like you said, we all knew what was coming on certain downs and distances. So of course opposing DC's are going to figure that out as well. Instead of worrying about changes that might be made, you should start making some content on the one change that needs to be made. Billy fed you a line of BS all offseason and you bought it. He's been over his head since he got here. Here is my question for you: what will it take to get Urban Meyer back as the Florida coach? You've had him on. Ask him!
Mrs.Peek should be the AD and Tim Tebow HC!
Under that scenario Sanders would be killing it.
What 7 points was against the back ups? Dj scored on the first team of Miami
If BN got rid of the bunch formations that take 3 to 4 seconds for the routes to clear because there are nine guys in the box, that'd help a lot. Oh, wait. That makes too much sense.
Miami didn’t under perform the first two years!! It takes at least 3 years to turn a mediocre team around lady. Miami did okay with the caliber of talent they had. The difference is both coaches are in year 3 and one program is where it should be and the other isn’t!!!
The game was FIXED
Billy's head is lost in the weeds, he is lost as a head coach. Time to part ways now.
The state of Miami is going to have us all throwing up the U this year
Yessir 🙌🙌🙌especially what we finna do to them FSU holeeeeessss
You know what’s better then being 0-1? 1-0. 💚🧡🙌🏽😂
lol yes. Very true.
I am not here to troll.
I did my fair share of trolling before this game was even played.
I do want to point out that Florida pundits and fans saying Florida wanted this game more than Miami because Florida's schedule or Billy's hot seat is laughable.
This game was more about the rivalry and the recruits. Miami absolutely wanted this game just as much as Florida, if not more ! Mario knew the impact this game had on recruiting, and I assure you this game was his #1 priority. Not to mention, Coach Cristobal was a part of this rivalry as well. He knows what it means !
The other thing I want to point out believe it or not, a lot of Hurricane fans were disappointed in Florida as well !
I know some fans love a blowout, but there is nothing better than beating your rival in a nail bitter when they are at their best !
Good luck with the rest of your season !
Looking forward to a better matchup next year !
Classy Cane fan. Y'all definitely looked like a playoff team. Composure on the road.
“Wanting it more” means nothing - any fan talking about that is delusional.
I agree
Self scouting is something that is done after every year I’ve coached no matter what. To self identify tendencies. Usually DC does it for OC and vice versa.
Two OCs Kerwin or Kade Bell. Stats don’t lie. Points.
I’m not trying to be political but the first presidential debate last June reminded me of the Miami game, and where the University of Florida could learn something from the Democrats. During the Biden/Trump debate where Biden got steamrolled, the Democrats made the decision that despite being a great guy it was apparent Biden just wasn’t up to the task, and needed to be replaced. I think you see where I’m going with this.
I honestly think lagway is the only thing that can save BN but that’s a lot on that young man
Miami was better coached I’ll hear you that but even in plays where UF has the right defense, Miami’s playmakers were able to improvise and advance the ball. Miami is over all a more talented team and it’s not even close.
But that is why Florida fans are so upset- we have similar NIL support, better facilities and a coach that started the same time as Mario. There is zero reason for there to be such a gap, but there is.
@@uffootball no question UF should be good enough to not get blown out at home. Side note, facilities are over rated in this NIL world. Miami put their $100 million football operations center on temp hold and used some of that money for NIL. This decision was clearly the right one: top 7 class after 5-7 and top 4 class after 7-6. At the end of the day, a program needs competent ppl in the building that can evaluate, recruit and develop talent.
Unkle Lou is willing to coach the Gainesville Gang of under achievers.
WOW...... SHE IS GOOD.
Why did Ali say they had 7 months to prepare when the game was August 31 ? To me, her math is off by a month. Jan- August is 8 months.
Gator fans! You beat a ranked Utah at home in 2022 who beat USC twice who was led by the Heisman Winner Caleb Williams. That Utah team kept USC from going to the College playoffs by beating them in the PAC 10 championship game. You beat a ranked Tennessee at home in 2023 bad. This 2024 Miami team talent wise is better than both of those teams. UF isn't just a blue chip ratio team in 2024 but Miami as well!
Looking in from the outside as in HURRICANE fan. I believe all the points you signaled are spot on. Miami simply took command of the game. Gators are still good enough to play like they mean business and surprise teams. No reason to give up on good players, a coaching adjustment and "creativity" in running new plays may pave the way to better outcomes. C'mon the Florida Gators are much better than what the showed last Saturday. Most Canes fans thought it was going to be a very close game. Gators just need to perform, they do have talent.
Apparently they forgot to focus on the football part Ali : )
Is Miami that much better than we are?
After Saturday, I'd have to say...yes.
Why would any 4 or 5 star recruit want to go the UF?
😂😂😂 How bout them Canes!
You definitely should have recorded this from your basement
Lady who gives af about what you are buying.. But Miami is like that FREAKIN 4 REAL .. you don't have to Buy it when you gonna see and feel it for free
😂😂😂 Hopefully Canesville how we left it dry and quiet ...yall lost recruits too not just the game and pride 😂😂 Goooooooo Canes
Can’t spell Norvell without 2 L’s
Did you think that up all on your own?
Miami appears to be a top-tier team this year. We'll see.
It’s canes year best team out of FL and we will make a splash 🙌🙌🙌
Year 3 under CMC with an elite college QB
Buy and you don't need no change .....The U Baby!!!!
BUSINESS TRIP ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!
Is she the one who said UF had the QB advantage??? 😂
She also said Trey Wilson was going to be the best WR to walk onto the field. She's absolutely delusional, like most UF fans
I think they should grab Coach O, man He's available RIGHT NOW, he's motivational, an amazing recruiter, and he wins, man!
Miami fan here! UF gonna go 8-4. Y’all have a good team but y’all don’t play together! I believe Miami is a top 5 team and ward is the best QB THEY’ll face all year. UF will bounce back and beat Texas A&M and Tennessee
Hopefully the gators step it up,the SEC is better when they are in position to be competitive
Napier is the 4th coach since Urban Meyer left. Hopefully the big money (Bull Gators) like Ben Hill Griffin type contributors are still out there and are also tired of this sub- standard mediocrity in this Gator football program for the past 15 years. For crying out loud will you guys with clout stand up to the athletic director and demand a proven and respected coach to lead the once great Gators back to prominence once again???? For the love of God, Please!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop comparing Mario to Billy😂😂😂Mario has won big….Billy hasn’t done anything 😂😂
I had Billy Madison getting fired after he takes a loss to Kentucky, I take that back. When Tennessee beats Florida by 30, Napier will get fired before playing Kentucky.
Last year, miami sucked a lot with our offensive coordinator. This year, same guy, he looks like a goat! What changed, the QB. Napier can do it. He will start showing off with Lagway because he is forced to play him this week due to concussion protocol.
Florida just needs to realize with Oklahoma and Texas coming into the SEC you are now a middle of the road team
Miami fan here, I hate those large buy out options in coaches contracts and also when schools extend them after one good year; feels like coaches know they have millions to look forward to and continue stubborn habits. Mario is not perfect, but he seems to be willing to improve himself -cautiously optimistic though.
Jedd Fisch is a Gator alum and has a very prolific offense. It’s similar to the fun & gun style that so many fans know and love. Not saying he’s my number one choice but he definitely deserves a hard look. 👀
End the guarantee of millions of dollars even if you do a terrible job as a coach. Add a clause stating the coach must meet certain performance criteria to be eligible for a buyout. Napier knows he can run the Gator football program into the ground and he will still walk away with millions and millions of dollars. And for what? For doing a terrible job and insulting Florida fans. Must be nice to do an awful job and walk away with more money than most people could earn in several life times.
All those getting paid (coaches and athletes) need a commission-based contract. Otherwise, what’s the motivation if it’s not internal (doing the right thing and creating value for yourself)?
Need to fire the atty that constructed Napier's contract....awful for gators,,
@@bullgatorteam349 he’s probably a booster…..
Coming from a Hawkeye fan (also a new out of state Gator parent/fan) this is crazy. Iowa has always been predictable just do not I repeat DO NOT seek out Brian Ferentz as an OC :)
Two things University of New Hampshire Football needs this speech. 2. Let’s not go to hard with UM looking great. Have you seen their weak ass schedule. At least UF is going up against real teams this year. I’m not a gator fan but I’m going to call it as I see it.
So does that mean UF is that bad ? Read what you just wrote.
