The Florida Gators have turned a corner. They have the right personnel at the right time, the young guys look incredible, and they will make a run sooner than later.
Mainstream coverage of Florida has become so lazy. UF plays a tough schedule every year. If you’re just going to hyper focus on their schedule every year as a reason why they won’t do well you might as well not even talk about them.
Na not like this. Our schedule has never been this crazy especially with Texas entering into the SEC now. Not to mention we damn near have a losing season every other year. So you couple that with our schedule along with what we have coming in in recruiting truly makes for a great convo.
Urban was very public about how hard the pressure cooker of Gainesville was on him. Coaches wives were being harassed in grocery stores if we didn’t win by enough points the prior weekend… Spurrier’s exit was very similar. It’s all well documented
Spurrier was definitely run off by entitled Florida fans. He said so himself. Instead of being happy about winning fans would complain to coach about not running up the score. Even if we do hire an OC half of the fan base will still bitch and complain about something
I’m so sick of our fan base it makes me nauseous. Program’s been taking nothing but W’s and having positive energy for two months now and clowns like this who supposedly speak for the fanbase still singing the same “Billy’s not the guy for the job” tune. Get tf outta here man.
If it wasn't for Billy Napier DJ lagway wouldn't even be it Florida. The play calling has been so much better over the past six games. Billy Napier will be the head coach at Florida for many years to come
Play calling has been so much better?? What games have you been watching? The defense is the reason for the turn around after the bye week. The offense is still below average
@@willhopson1277 injured or not the route concepts are still trash. Napier does nothing to help DJ…where are the rub routes against man or quick screens against off coverage? Napier coaches offense on hard mode for DJ.
Billys scheme is ok but he needs a dedicated play caller. Dj has already had a full year plus in this system, and with a college window you dont want to start all over and waste a year learning a new system
If I'm not mistaken, I saw something. It said we were number 1 in 3 or 4 defensive categories the last 3 games of the season. With over 6 start out in each game.
It’s not super easy to go 10-2 in the sec and from the looks of it that’s what it’s gonna take to make the playoffs . Some teams have easier routes to the playoffs that don’t play in the sec like Indiana , Boise state , Arizona state . Florida doesn’t get that luxury
@@adammauer6424 I just watched a Mid Tennessee team sneak there way in the PLAYOFFS lol , yeah 9-3&10-2 gets you in Definitely if those losers are to Ranked teams
We got recruting going we went on a win streak and i get its not were we need to be but we heading there and this team has a whole different feel since tebow era and its still not enough . Ik im not the only one that feels this team is ganna be great . That dude is just stuck in that past like half of this fanbase and no they have to play us they and have to deal with us remember that. its not we have to deal with them mentality no more
This guy was talking out of both sides of his mouth! On one hand he says he still has questions about Billy Napier and the Tulane game was terrible, but on the other hand he says you don’t fire him next year if he starts out similar to this yr as long as they’re not getting embarrassed! Like make up your mind!
Saban didn't want to call plays. He wanted to build winning teams. For all his humility otherwise, Billy can't yet bring himself to the same place. If Billy takes one more step and relinquishes control of the offense, he may well be the next great coach at Florida. If, however, he is unable to see that he is not a championship caliber play caller, then he will be fired after next season.
Everybody keeps saying the tough schedule is going to keep Florida out of the playoffs. Isn’t a strong schedule supposed to help you get in? Florida might as well start scheduling four FCS teams for their non conference opponents since all they care about is winning…it’s a broken system when a soft schedule helps your playoff chances.
I will never understand the thought process. Showing amazing progression bringing in top athletes one of the hottest teams coming into 2025 but our fans want to get rid of BN lol.
With the talent on the roster, Napier needs to go 9-3 or better in the 2025 regular season. Otherwise I’m done giving him chances. If he has the insight to hire an OC this offseason, then I would be more patient.
Lagway has a long way to go. Im a gator, but the hype is overstated. He hasn't shown the best ability in short to mid-range passing. I wouldn't expect too much next year, but if they can build on the momentum of this year, then year 3 for Lagway could be the year.
DJ came in as a true freshman and has lived up to the type. The intermediate to short routes is easily correctible. The sky is the limit and he's gonna cook next year. You don't think he's gonna drill that all offseason. Like what are we talking about here.
Im so tired of y'all keep bringing up oc smh that man ain't about to stop calling plays .That man ain't fina stop doing what he does because fans keep whining about it get it through y'all thick heads😂😂😂
if napier doesnt hire an oc he will be fired by end of next season. team is in playoff or bust mode and the guy struggles to get plays in reliably. the amount of times we have called timeouts off a quarter change or on 4th bc we cant get 11 out is insane. was super evident in the bowl game which is his last game of a 3 yr body of work. if they dont refine the oc spot and get a diff person calling plays the team will fall short of goals. lagway is literally hiding the play calling issues. imagine if we had a good playcaller with the talent at qb.
So we are in playoff or bust mode and you want the QB to learn a new playbook? I don’t love the playcalling but I’d rather DJ learn this playbook inside and out so he can make the proper reads and check downs instead of having to learn new plays
@EUC_DeathRay we run like 4 concepts. Hitches, jet sweep, pa jet to te in flat. Pa flood roll out right. Everything good that happens is by lagway just making amazing plays. 9 months is plenty of time to install something other than pistol te bunch
@@EUC_DeathRayplayers learn new playbooks all the time, what do you think these transfer quarterbacks are doing? It’s not some difficult thing to learn a new playbook
The SEC is too DAMN BIG ! So is the BIG TEN ! BUT THE SEC BEATS THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER! ALSO THE NIL NEEDS A CAP PER TEAM ( LEGITIMATE CAP ) OR WE WILL SEE THE DEATH OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL 🏈🏈! IT'S OUT OF CONTROL!!
Lagway has a chance to be GATOR great,but BN has to WIN,especially at the SWAMP,no more 8-5,6-7,8-4.Year 4 either your the man who can get us over this losing.Its now or never for BN.GOGATORS
There are some huge bull Gators that are with holding their contributions for NIL money and not extending Billy's contract. They believe Billy is still not the guy.
Me and you both know that he isn't! If it wasn't for Lagway he would've been fired this year so I truly believe his career at Florida solely depends on how good Lagway plays from here on out. That's a lot of pressure on a young kid like Lagway cuz I'm sure that kid knows that Billy's career depends on him so we shall see soon enough if Lagway can get any better year after year cuz if not, bye bye Sunbelt Billy! 🤷🏽♂️
Billy is the the NEXT SABAN. Mark my words. Billy's got this Gator program on a Georgia and Bama trajectory. Never mind all the stupid, foaming at the mouth, spoiled brats who were calling for Billy's head after the THIRD GAME this year. Stupid because they were ready to send this program into an upheaval by firing the head coach once again just so they could satisfy their raging impulses for instant gratification disguised as " demands of high standards." So good that Strickland ignore ya'll's whining and screaming like a father ignores a spoiled child throwing a fit on his high chair until ya'll ate your veggies.

Billy Napier is a horrible coach. Should have been running an 8 win type program and DJ would have pushed them over the top. Instead, he was running a 5 win program, and DJ got him to 8 wins. In no way is he an elite level coach who will ever compete for titles in the SEC. He is a .500 coach and he has the record to prove it.
We good we dont need any bandwagon fans or media hype keep us and Dj under the radar and underestimated please.
The Florida Gators have turned a corner. They have the right personnel at the right time, the young guys look incredible, and they will make a run sooner than later.
Florida just needs an OC
Facts
No they don’t. The offense looks good with the right personnel. A staffer on clock management maybe, but not an OC.
@@kg30004 you know ball

Urban Myer was not ran off. He quit

@ that’s not being pushed out. That’s coaches not taking pressure.
No that's making it impossible for fl to get any good elite coaches. Good grief spouse has 0 responsibilities to the program @@papicsjurhale7466
Spurrier and Meyer werent run off they left for their own reasons
100%. Urban pulled a Lebron like "I won in Florida now to Ohio my home town state".
Yeah that guy he’s talking with hasn’t watched much Florida football clearly.
Spurrier was run off by the fans who forgot what UF was before he got there
@@tjkatz💯
Spurrier was definitely run off by entitled Florida fans. He said so himself. Instead of being happy about winning fans would complain to coach about not running up the score. Even if we do hire an OC half of the fan base will still bitch and complain about something
Billy needs to hire an OC, rumblings of a big DC hire. Billy can work if he gives up play-calling and focuses on being a CEO and talent acquisition.
Exactly it won’t happen ego is a killer
@ it will happen, it was made clear it had to happen when he was kept.
Agree..
You read too much message board rumors. Napier will never let go of his ego of calling plays, he said it himself, it’s his favorite thing to do
@@Chad13 it was quite literally written into his contract but ok

@@Chad13 in fairness Lagway was injured in a lot of those games. If I’m right, he was still running awkwardly in the Ole Miss game.

So great players make coaches look good and bad players make coaches look bad. Wow. Amazing insight.
You sound fun
We need a OC
Billys scheme is ok but he needs a dedicated play caller. Dj has already had a full year plus in this system, and with a college window you dont want to start all over and waste a year learning a new system
Our goal for next year is to win the SEC championship. If we do that. Everything will fall into place.
From what I've witnessed from both Lagway and Sellers, the USC QB is the most lethal. But I believe the Gators have a much brighter future.
Urban wasn't run off. He quit.
I bit more to it then that ... he had some off the field stuff
If I'm not mistaken, I saw something. It said we were number 1 in 3 or 4 defensive categories the last 3 games of the season. With over 6 start out in each game.
Yeah it was like sacks and turnovers

Florida needs an OC and take the headset from billy. He doesn't know how the call plays with rhythm.
Can’t compare previous eras. There was maybe 1-2 tough tests on Spurrier’s and Urban’s SEC schedules.
