From a Longhorn fan, Florida is a class program. Yall traveled so well to Austin and have amazing fans and culture. I hope to see Florida back at the top of the SEC as soon as possible. Best of luck to yall from here on out!
I’m a Longhorn fan who went to the game. This was the best showing of fans from the opposing team all year. Granted, the QB situation for Florida was the biggest factor in their loss, but most of the UF fans I talked to were enjoying their trip to Austin and it was a beautiful day. A healthy and more experienced quarterback will make a huge difference for Florida although Warner made some great passes later in the game. Texas had a great first half and Florida did not.
Scott Strickland does not care if we win or loose. He cares about surviving the next couple of years with his $2 million annual salary until retirement. That’s it.
The players love him... So do students who has teacher who doesn't make them do work.. Workers love a boss who don't make them work.... The people around them loving them or liking them is not a reason to keep someone. RESULTS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD MATTER! 15-19 says NO THIS GUY SHOULD BE REMOVED!!!
From someone born and raised in Austin. I’ve never seen a programs fan base travel as well as Florida especially with the way the gators season is going mad props to the gators fan base 👏
I've been harping that Napier be fired but given what is happening to Todd Golden, I want Napier to stay next year. I'd rather see Fuch's grow a pair and fire Stricklin now and hire a competent AD who will hire the next football and basketball coaches. I do not want Stricklin anywhere near the hiring process of any coach going forward. I will add that Napier is on borrowed time. He has one year to get to 8-4 or else. The issue with Napier is we are always playing the 1s, very rarely the 2s and never the 3s. The only time the 3s come in is an injury to the 1 or 2. Under Napier, we have rarely blown teams out and blowing teams out is a huge deal. It was why Spurrier did so well. We blew so many teams out that we were able to play the 2s and 3s and injuries to the 1s rarely were felt. Not with Napier. The dropoff from 1s to 2s and the 3s is stark. We have very little depth and it feels like our team is at the high school equivalent of varsity (2s), JV (2s) and freshmen (3s) and I know of no freshmen high school squad that can beat a varsity team.
Great job, Stricklin. Since Billy isn't stalking anyone, maybe Stricklin will give him an extension. Oh wait, that won't matter, it appears Stricklin knew about Golden and still gave him an extension. And Pres Fuchs does nothing.
Sixties Gator here. Ray Graves, Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer...good times. Love Ali's channel, and her of course. Have come to loathe what Strickland and Napier have done to UF football. Can not believe they are both still employed here. Don't the powers that be have the balls to just fire them now?
At least Stricklin should be gone regardless. This is like his 3rd major scandal in 3 years. That should be reason enough with the state of Florida athletics being another. Baseball and basketball are it right now. Football is a joke and his hiring is even more of a joke in terms of track record.
Why? Yeah, he might of done wrong. But we just elected a rapist president amongst the many other things he is. But I guess Trump is the only one who can get away with things. The guy is a horrible man and we elected him. Golden should be cleared based on that logic. The double standard.
injuries are due to our shit S&C program which is an extension of our shit coaching staff. UGA had next to no injuries on the same field last week. Napier owns it all and the fans need to come together to help expedite his exit.
Texas seems to be upset with Florida not using the High school practice field they planned for them. I love how Texas DON'T HIDE THE TRUTH on this moron. Florida football team don't leave until Friday. He's been doing this since he got to FLORIDA. WHAT? Who in there right mind leaves 1 day before the game. FLORIDA should have left on Tuesday to be in Austin and Practice in Austin!!!!! 1 full practice and a half practice is all Florida did to prepare for #5 team in the country. Another thing who rest before they travel! Resting before you fly to Texas? When you see all this... Your not shocked they came out and played like they WEREN'T READY!! His job is to make sure the team is READY TO PLAY... That is the most important thing.. AND DOESN'T DO IT!!! This worse than just bad coach who makes bad decisions. He's a terrible coach who won't make changes no matter the result. He already does something based on how he FEELS ABOUT IT!!! RESULTS DON'T MATTER TO HIM!!! Winning doesn't matter to him. If winning matter to Billy he wouldn't fly the team to Texas on Friday even. Bad coaches make changes they try and it don't work out. HE NEVER MAKES CHANGES.. MATTER OF FACT HE DOUBLES DOWN ON HIS BAD CHOICE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! Ron Roberts is clone of Austin Armstrong. HE HIRES COACHES THAT IS JUST LIKE THE COACH HE JUST FIRED! He only fired him because he wanted to fake change. IF HE REALLY WANTED CHANGE HE WOULDN'T HIRE THE SAME TYPE OF GUY HE JUST FIRED!!!! Billy Napier is EGO DRIVEN LOSER WHO REFUSES TO MAKE CHANGE!
Should have taken the points. Well, Austin seems like a nice place to visit (except when playing the Longhorns). This was an embarrassing weekend across the board for the Gators. I did not know Badger was not playing so it was wise to keep JD out. I sure hope UF gets some receivers & D-backs for Ol' Miss. As I recall Florida was competitive in the first quarter until the interception and missed FG. Reasons and Excuses are different and you make good arguments with a nicely balanced review.
I think the timing of the letter was to calm one area of chaos within the athletic department before the news of Golden's Title IX investigation went public
Embarrassing coach and entire chain of command. The interim president, Strictland, and Napier all need to leave before the team can be rebuilt. Don't fire Billy, demote him to recruiting coach, save some dough...:) I look forward to the Baseball season. Go Gators!
Stricklin needed to keep Pressure on Napier because team was showing up against Tenn, Ga etc. The minute he said Napier will be back, the coach and the team took a holiday! Stricklin needs to tell Napier he’s week to week and maybe he’ll coach and step up. Obviously he and team do better when pushed.
As a die hard fan I’m giving Billy next year. If we’re somehow worse than 8-4 then I think he’s gone. And in all honesty, I think it’ll help in our search to find another/better coach if that’s the case. At least it’ll let him know that we will bring him in and give him four years. Three just isn’t much especially when he apparently took over a messy situation
That will only work if Stricklin is fired before Napier and Golden are replaced. Stricklin no longer can be trusted to a hire a quality coach in any sport.
Good grief, do you people work for UF?? WE SUCK. Sling blade is not an SEC head coach, Golden is a creeper pervert, and Stricklin hired them both. Stop with the gaslighting. And that third string qb should never have been on a UF roster.
The problem is you told me they will keep Napier if he wins six games this year. We all know that Napier is a sorry-ass coach that can't win. We wish it weren't true but we all know it's true. I was afraid we knocked up our only chance to score any points yesterday when we got penalized on a field goal attempt which pushed us out of range and kicker missed the field goal. Third year of program and we're having the same exact problems we had year one. So no, I don't want the gators to win another game until Napier is fired. It's like a parent who allows his kid to be jailed overnight. It's the only way to get through to the kid that he has to change.
True concern should be paramount in those pulling the strings, making decisions on hires and holding the 💸💸 allocations. Poor hires in coaching positions, slow uptake on NIL and Transfer Portal strategy, and the lack of leadership are very TROUBLING. It’s almost like there is an indifference in success of some athletics at UF…
I know people don't like to hear this, but I've come to realize that if you keep buying the product, the product won't change. If people won't stay home and won't stop contributing, UF will not change, the UAA won't change.
Get rid of them both! The Boosters have the power to do that. Time for there asses to step up and use there power and get these incompetent fools out! Im so ashamed to be a Florida Gators fan right now. With sunbelt billy and knucklehead scott stricklin. Go Gators!!!
I never said 6-6 should mean Billy comes back. To win the position, we needed to go 7-5. This beats year 1 and year 2... and is the only meaningful measure of improvement. Some will say then, "but look at how unlucky we have been with injuries." This is true, but any team also has the ability to make a certain amount of "luck" by being prepared... the opposite also being true.
The Gators had a lot of key players out plus inexperienced players in. But yeah, I thought we could still keep it within the spread at 21.5, but we were trailing 42-0 at one point. But we scored 17 points and never quit. At least the scoring streak still keeps going. LSU got blown out as well. I think the Gators have a shot Saturday with LSU coming in reeling.
3rd String Gator team. Hated to see the loss, but we gotta realize Napier several weeks ago JUST started getting the boys to go hard at practice. We saw the effects with the good players, we almost beat Tennessee and Georgia. Hope isn't lost, it's just storming outside for us right now. In all kinds of weather. Speedy recovery for our boys that are injured
Under the circumstances Florida was going to get annihalated. Next year the Gators will be a lot better. I know no one wants to listen to that but it's true.
If you even read this Ali, many did say 6-6, but also said how it looked. Getting blown out and being maybe beating 1 winning team were not it. Before the season we thought Kentucky, UCF and FSU would be good. They probably all finish under .500 so as that shows the schedule was easier than assumed, the expectation should’ve raised some.
I've always said how it looked mattered. I also did a video in shock at SS's statement last week. I don't necessarily agree with it but I'm not going to cheer for us to lose to be "right"...
@ I don’t think cheering for us to lose is what I’ve said. I do think the additional context of how it looked meant beating winning teams back in August while now we are talking like it didn’t and 6-6 in August is the same as 6-6 (if we even get there) after we’ve seen it play out.
I don’t know what everyone expects with sark as the coach for Texas. He smelled blood and we played 3rd string guys… I mean 🤷🏾♂️ I felt we should’ve ran the ball 80% and snap the ball each play at 2 sec to shorten the game. IMO
The LACK of Coaching reveals itself Week in and Week out , Napier is not a SEC LEVEL COACH , it's very easy to see. Zero Development and Zero Adjustments in Game . The saddest of everything is the Fact that Florida Fans are not Understanding of Napier inability to Coach , Development and Adjust. Florida has fallen Drastically and is in a Ditch . Our Expectations are Sorely in The Ditch and Excuses is The Norm . Napier has to go , he and Strickland BOTH !!! WHAT ARE WE DOING
Maybe the banged up defense is tried of the same plays every week on offense. And if your body is not healed what do you expect! It starts at the top not the bottom.
I 100% think Greg Smith the true freshman needs to get the start at safety over Jordan Castell next week against LSU! Castell has no excuse for the performance he had against Texas and for most of the season, how many times can he single handily bite on the pump fake and get torched deep for TDs? I think he was accountable for 3 of Texas TDs by himself and his blown coverages!
I was at the game. I went with my cousine who's an alumni. I was surrounded by burnt orange Texas fans cheering,yelling and of course was as befuddled as I was. I was asked during and after the game, were your players hurt or sick? I had no realistic other than embarrassment and of course only answer was yes the first string players as well as our starting quarterback were injured. Im a DIEHARD GATOR fan but I was horrified and felt confused about what I saw on Saturday. I drowned myself in the tailgating concoction drinks my cousin gave me to soothe the pain. Gators please get ready for and BEAT l s u. Go GATORS. ALWAYS DAVID PEÑA. GATOR FAN FOREVER!!
Same, dude. I was right behind the Texas bench and everyone around me was asking me if UF had a flu outbreak or something during WARMUPS 🤣🤣. You could tell then that Texas has a legitimate football operation compared to UF’s warmups that looked like a youth league soccer tryout. All of the Texas fans were baffled that UF is bringing Billy back. At least Texas had a first class atmosphere. Those fans were great. Despite the loss, it was one of the best game days I’ve ever been to. That said, FIRE BILLY!
@@FightingMexican Glad you had a great time over here in Austin. I'm a season ticket holder for Texas and I was struck by how well your fans travel. And I didn't run into a bad fan the entire day. Good luck the rest of the way. Hook'em.
Who cares about what other teams did with their backups? Our secondary has a safety playing corner, a 4th string CB on the depth chart at the start of the season. I just don’t understand why people still can’t see the depth chart has been devastating to this team. Stop complaining about every single thing, we wouldn’t have won in Austin at full strength. They are a Top 3 team in the country.
LSU just got knocked out of playoff contention, so i can envision them coming in lackadaisical and flat, allowing us to get an upset. I gotta wonder if some of their best recruits will go ahead and sit out the rest of the year.
At this point who cares whether they competitive or not, Billy was told this week that he got another year with the team they could lose the rest of the games this season he know he not getting fired so who cares who cares who cares🐊🐊🐊
The reason the schedule is so tough is because of how it challenges depth, again, what do you REALLY expect? Kinda wondering what your goal was in making this video.
Did you honestly think there would be a different outcome? If you really did alot of us are gonna have to have a vote to decide our confidence in this channel.
Napier did not show a different look knowing we were running a 3rd string QB, with a dozen starters out, because winning is not the highest priority... period.
Billy and Scott have destroyed this program along with the UAA. To the point where I can't even bring myself to watch the games anymore it's so embarrassing
Been supporting Gator football for over 30 years but I am done unless Napier and Strickland are fired! I am tired of my money being used to further this embarrassing mess. The inane excuses so called fans are using to keep Napier is ridiculous. Like Coach Spurrier use to say there are NO excuses for losing!!
As predicted, if Billy were left at the helm after the early loss to Miami, the wheels would come off before season's end. And here we are. Sad. It's like a bad car crash you can't look away from. Eventually, it will end......but not before the Gator culture of winning burns to the ground.
Rooting for the Gators to win absolutely does not mean rooting for the head coach. If you are rooting for a bad head coach simply because he is the Gators head coach, then you are rooting for mediocrity. You want to know why? Because if the media and the fans don't ask for the coach to be fired, then he never will be. If you just blindly give your money to UF no matter how bad the team is, then they no inventive to make any changes. I root for the Gators but I also root for the head coach to be fired. Because I want something better than 6-6. I want 12-0. No excuses, ever! I don't care if the Gator schedule was to play Georgia 12 straight times in a row. Win every one of them. If you don't, bye!!!
Time clean house. Strychnine Todd has just struck out. The Billy hire was hopium-fueled buck fever. Hiring Sunbelt Bill for top dollar when he was going to need a couple of years of on-the-job training (OTJ) was bad enough. Then, there's the ludicrous buyout. The letter was cringeworthy in its tone-deafness and senseless timing. If it's clear he failed to vet coach Goldmember, Strychnine Todd must be fired POST HASTE, as you astutely observed.
We are NEVER going to be good with Scott Stricklin keeping his job as Athletic Director. How he still has his job with 3 major scandals in 3 years, countless bad coaching hires and the bread and butter football program being a catastrophic joke is beyond me. Florida will be a penceiled in victory for any real team who plays us because we are essentially Vanderbilt now. Thanks to everyone ruining, I mean running, things at UF. It's sad that the only people who actually care are fans and former players.
"We’re moving down there and we have an opportunity to make it 14-3 and we miss a field goal. I think that affected the momentum a little bit, no question about it.” -U.F.'s Head Football Coach, Billy Napier. So "missing a 3 point F.G." jammed up the once mighty Florida Gators' momentum. And still, these same players said (before the Texas game), "We're playing for Coach Napier." There it is Florida fans. The '24 Gator players allowed UF to get "SPANKED" like very few Gator football teams have ever experienced. And all for "Billy Napier." From their lips to God's ears!
I’ll tell you what Ellie I wish you and the rest of the border trustees at Florida would’ve been this patient with Dan Mullen Dan Mullen will coach the crap out of his team on game day. Can we hire him as the office coordinator to call plays?
Stooooooooop with the Mullen angle. He quit on the team, refused to recruit, and was mentally unstable in that last season. When it comes to X’s and O’s, he’s great. His arrogance and blind loyalty to his boys on the coaching staff didn’t help him when it came time to let him go.
Mullen is the reason the job is too far gone for Billy to rebuild back into a winner. Billy just doesn't have the necessary expertise to be able to strip a program to its studs and rebuild it.
When and if Stricklin gets tied up in Todd's thing, he will be a dead man walking. However, until there is a "real" president at Florida, Stricklin won't go anywhere. Neither will Napier. Think about it. Everyone said Napier needs 6 - 6 to keep the job for 2025 but since he's already penciled in for 2025 it looks like this was never true. Strciklin and Napier are tied at the hip and they sink or swim together. After yesterdays game, I don't see any swimming.
BN is an over achiever that did well at the lower level. He will never, never, never be beyond 8 wins in the SEC. If UF is ever going to competitive again, the first thing is to restructure the UAA for NIL and the portal. Gut the UAA, hire a GM to oversee the profit sports, move the AD to non-revenue. Fire Striklin. Hire a Football GM to keep the football brand (NIL, roster management, fund raising, facilities, academics) and let the GM hired the coach. Same with men's Bball.
What did anyone really expect with so many injuries its akin to having most of the team opt out for a bowl game and having a bunch of 2nd and 3rd string players on the field.
Big difference between losing, not competing at being down 42-0 early in the second half. But everything is justified always I guess. No nuance, just blanket excuses from people who next year will think 7-5 is better than Spurrier and Meyer combined could ever hope to achieve
I think this is beyond him. I really believe had he been hired after Muschamp he would have faired better but Florida Athletics is mostly rotten to its core and it's all Stricklin's fault.
From a Longhorn fan, Florida is a class program. Yall traveled so well to Austin and have amazing fans and culture. I hope to see Florida back at the top of the SEC as soon as possible. Best of luck to yall from here on out!
I’m a Longhorn fan who went to the game. This was the best showing of fans from the opposing team all year. Granted, the QB situation for Florida was the biggest factor in their loss, but most of the UF fans I talked to were enjoying their trip to Austin and it was a beautiful day. A healthy and more experienced quarterback will make a huge difference for Florida although Warner made some great passes later in the game. Texas had a great first half and Florida did not.
You ain't been around enough, only Georgia Fans are more obnoxious than Florida fans!!
Wrong thumbnail. Scott Stricklin is not humiliated about this, he endorsed this earlier in the week
Facts
Agreed. Scott Strickland is a bum for hiring a bum
Yes, assured Gator fans that we would see this for another year. That is a tough pill to swallow.
Scott Strickland does not care if we win or loose. He cares about surviving the next couple of years with his $2 million annual salary until retirement. That’s it.
@@adamb6370 exactly. Nobody above him to fire him, either.
The players love him... So do students who has teacher who doesn't make them do work.. Workers love a boss who don't make them work.... The people around them loving them or liking them is not a reason to keep someone. RESULTS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD MATTER! 15-19 says NO THIS GUY SHOULD BE REMOVED!!!
Good Points!
From someone born and raised in Austin. I’ve never seen a programs fan base travel as well as Florida especially with the way the gators season is going mad props to the gators fan base 👏
I've been harping that Napier be fired but given what is happening to Todd Golden, I want Napier to stay next year. I'd rather see Fuch's grow a pair and fire Stricklin now and hire a competent AD who will hire the next football and basketball coaches. I do not want Stricklin anywhere near the hiring process of any coach going forward.
I will add that Napier is on borrowed time. He has one year to get to 8-4 or else. The issue with Napier is we are always playing the 1s, very rarely the 2s and never the 3s. The only time the 3s come in is an injury to the 1 or 2. Under Napier, we have rarely blown teams out and blowing teams out is a huge deal. It was why Spurrier did so well.

Great job, Stricklin. Since Billy isn't stalking anyone, maybe Stricklin will give him an extension. Oh wait, that won't matter, it appears Stricklin knew about Golden and still gave him an extension. And Pres Fuchs does nothing.
Best post on this content from Ali. Why is Fuchs sitting quietly on this.
@@garyfurman Like most that live in the Ivory Tower, he's a coward and he's not a leader. He's an administrator.

They don't care. They make money from us no matter what.
That Gator performance was humiliating. Like you wanted to crawl under a rock.
This isn't close to the Florida I grew up with for 50 years this is embarrassing , lost for words
Can’t believe Golden is not gone..
Innocent until proven guilty. NO I DON'T JUST BELIEVE SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THERE SEX!! You show me true evidence that he did this.
@ I sure hope it’s all false but a lot of damage is done..

The double standard.
Gators not beating LSU! Definitely not beating ole Miss. Florida State may even win. 3 losing seasons.
Kerwin Bell was our fifth string qb
Shane Matthew’s was 6th when Spurrier got to campus
Different day and time. Never gonna find gems like that these days.
Its a completely different time my fellow Gator fan. There's no comparison..
@@luv2fly452 yup. Now we have to keep coaches who can't win six games because we're too chickenshit to change coaches.
It's time to clean house. Stricklin, Golden and most of all, "Sling Blade" Billy Napier need to be gone.
With Fuchs around, there may never be any action taken.
injuries are due to our shit S&C program which is an extension of our shit coaching staff. UGA had next to no injuries on the same field last week. Napier owns it all and the fans need to come together to help expedite his exit.

Embarrassing coach and entire chain of command. The interim president, Strictland, and Napier all need to leave before the team can be rebuilt. Don't fire Billy, demote him to recruiting coach, save some dough...:) I look forward to the Baseball season. Go Gators!
He can’t recruit. Ole Miss b/u qb is a freshman from Miami,,,,
Stricklin needed to keep
Pressure on Napier because team was showing up against Tenn, Ga etc. The minute he said Napier will be back, the coach and the team took a holiday! Stricklin needs to tell Napier he’s week to week and maybe he’ll coach and step up. Obviously he and team do better when pushed.
I’m attending the LSU game. Flying in from Texas. What are some of the must do’s in Gainesville and on game day ?
As a die hard fan I’m giving Billy next year. If we’re somehow worse than 8-4 then I think he’s gone. And in all honesty, I think it’ll help in our search to find another/better coach if that’s the case. At least it’ll let him know that we will bring him in and give him four years.

That will only work if Stricklin is fired before Napier and Golden are replaced. Stricklin no longer can be trusted to a hire a quality coach in any sport.
Good lord we had a third string freshman qb, backup corners, backup tailback literally 8 starters out. We didn’t play fau.
Good grief, do you people work for UF?? WE SUCK. Sling blade is not an SEC head coach, Golden is a creeper pervert, and Stricklin hired them both. Stop with the gaslighting. And that third string qb should never have been on a UF roster.
Until a Solid Defensive Coach comes in an Establishes Togetherness we will not be a National Champion ever again
The problem is you told me they will keep Napier if he wins six games this year. We all know that Napier is a sorry-ass coach that can't win. We wish it weren't true but we all know it's true.

It's like a parent who allows his kid to be jailed overnight. It's the only way to get through to the kid that he has to change.
It just needs to end. Too much has gone wrong. Just pull the plug.
True concern should be paramount in those pulling the strings, making decisions on hires and holding the 💸💸 allocations. Poor hires in coaching positions, slow uptake on NIL and Transfer Portal strategy, and the lack of leadership are very TROUBLING.
It’s almost like there is an indifference in success of some athletics at UF…
Saw you at the game! Tough loss - but Austin was fun
I know people don't like to hear this, but I've come to realize that if you keep buying the product, the product won't change. If people won't stay home and won't stop contributing, UF will not change, the UAA won't change.
Yes, we need the donors to stop giving Billy money in the collective and put it towards the marketing campaign against Scott Strickland
Get rid of them both! The Boosters have the power to do that. Time for there asses to step up and use there power and get these incompetent fools out! Im so ashamed to be a Florida Gators fan right now. With sunbelt billy and knucklehead scott stricklin. Go Gators!!!
That’s what happens when you give dude the nod of confidence
I never said 6-6 should mean Billy comes back. To win the position, we needed to go 7-5. This beats year 1 and year 2... and is the only meaningful measure of improvement.
Some will say then, "but look at how unlucky we have been with injuries." This is true, but any team also has the ability to make a certain amount of "luck" by being prepared... the opposite also being true.
Adian is a red shirt freshman and haven't played much at all,give me a fuckin break people
The biggest embarrassment is not the loss to texas it was the announcement that florida is keeping Billy just so sad 😂
Hey at least we didn't get shut out , didn't we brake a NCAA record?😂😢😭
Defense couldn’t stop a sentence with a period if they wanted to Saturday.
I’m numb to this now sooooo looking forward to next season 🤣
the good coaches dont take decades to turn things around
Exactly, should have hired Kiffin when we had the chance but 1 word....."Stricklin" like damn it! 😤😡
The Gators had a lot of key players out plus inexperienced players in. But yeah, I thought we could still keep it within the spread at 21.5, but we were trailing 42-0 at one point.

We're not beating LSU Ole Miss and FSU will not make it a bowl game might as well go ahead and fire naiper
Stuck with this debacle for another year at least. Yeah.
Ali nails it again. Go Gators. 🐊🐊🐊
Spot on as usual
Go Gators
We ran the ball for over 200 yards against the best rushing defense in the country
Yep. Should’ve leaned into Baugh and Jackson more to take the ball out of Warner’s hands.
3rd String Gator team. Hated to see the loss, but we gotta realize Napier several weeks ago JUST started getting the boys to go hard at practice. We saw the effects with the good players, we almost beat Tennessee and Georgia. Hope isn't lost, it's just storming outside for us right now. In all kinds of weather. Speedy recovery for our boys that are injured
WHAT????? Come on!!!
@bjm-oi6vl No doubt. But, we've seen this before. Most of them are paid tools, not typical fans.
Florida has too many injuries. It was expected. 3rd string qb who is a walk on (but trying his heart out) needs support.
Under the circumstances Florida was going to get annihalated. Next year the Gators will be a lot better. I know no one wants to listen to that but it's true.
Whose fault is it we have a freshman transfer from Yale as our number 3?
@@joee7978 he grew up in winter park. Always a huge gator fan.
@@joee7978 but Napier, that's the answer. Buck stops with BN. Next year will be better. Much better
When we were healthy we got destroyed by cryami and a/m. What's the excuse for those games?
If you even read this Ali, many did say 6-6, but also said how it looked. Getting blown out and being maybe beating 1 winning team were not it. Before the season we thought Kentucky, UCF and FSU would be good. They probably all finish under .500 so as that shows the schedule was easier than assumed, the expectation should’ve raised some.
I've always said how it looked mattered. I also did a video in shock at SS's statement last week. I don't necessarily agree with it but I'm not going to cheer for us to lose to be "right"...
@ I don’t think cheering for us to lose is what I’ve said. I do think the additional context of how it looked meant beating winning teams back in August while now we are talking like it didn’t and 6-6 in August is the same as 6-6 (if we even get there) after we’ve seen it play out.
can't figure out why todd golden wasn't put on administrative leave without pay immediately. those are pretty serious allegations these days.
I don’t know what everyone expects with sark as the coach for Texas. He smelled blood and we played 3rd string guys… I mean 🤷🏾♂️
I felt we should’ve ran the ball 80% and snap the ball each play at 2 sec to shorten the game. IMO
Hey Ali I live in Louisiana and LSU fans are calling for Brian Kelly head!
Naiper was playing to keep everyone that we still do have healthy, no since of adding to our injury list
Cormani McClain looked lost and didn't seem interested.
He dumb dumb
bad timing for Stricklands announcement. Strickland should be fired
If we didn't lose all are players in the Georgia game we would have won come on guys stop already
The LACK of Coaching reveals itself Week in and Week out , Napier is not a SEC LEVEL COACH , it's very easy to see. Zero Development and Zero Adjustments in Game . The saddest of everything is the Fact that Florida Fans are not Understanding of Napier inability to Coach , Development and Adjust. Florida has fallen Drastically and is in a Ditch . Our Expectations are Sorely in The Ditch and Excuses is The Norm . Napier has to go , he and Strickland BOTH !!! WHAT ARE WE DOING
Maybe the banged up defense is tried of the same plays every week on offense. And if your body is not healed what do you expect! It starts at the top not the bottom.
I 100% think Greg Smith the true freshman needs to get the start at safety over Jordan Castell next week against LSU! Castell has no excuse for the performance he had against Texas and for most of the season, how many times can he single handily bite on the pump fake and get torched deep for TDs? I think he was accountable for 3 of Texas TDs by himself and his blown coverages!
I was at the game. I went with my cousine who's an alumni. I was surrounded by burnt orange Texas fans cheering,yelling and of course was as befuddled as I was. I was asked during and after the game, were your players hurt or sick? I had no realistic other than embarrassment and of course only answer was yes the first string players as well as our starting quarterback were injured. Im a DIEHARD GATOR fan but I was horrified and felt confused about what I saw on Saturday. I drowned myself in the tailgating concoction drinks my cousin gave me to soothe the pain. Gators please get ready for and BEAT l s u.
Go GATORS. ALWAYS DAVID PEÑA. GATOR FAN FOREVER!!
Same, dude. I was right behind the Texas bench and everyone around me was asking me if UF had a flu outbreak or something during WARMUPS 🤣🤣. You could tell then that Texas has a legitimate football operation compared to UF’s warmups that looked like a youth league soccer tryout. All of the Texas fans were baffled that UF is bringing Billy back. At least Texas had a first class atmosphere. Those fans were great. Despite the loss, it was one of the best game days I’ve ever been to. That said, FIRE BILLY!
@@FightingMexican Glad you had a great time over here in Austin. I'm a season ticket holder for Texas and I was struck by how well your fans travel. And I didn't run into a bad fan the entire day. Good luck the rest of the way. Hook'em.
Who cares about what other teams did with their backups? Our secondary has a safety playing corner, a 4th string CB on the depth chart at the start of the season. I just don’t understand why people still can’t see the depth chart has been devastating to this team. Stop complaining about every single thing, we wouldn’t have won in Austin at full strength. They are a Top 3 team in the country.
we expected this with the 3 string right?
Wait, you guys expected Florida to beat Texas with a depleted team? Maybe if Texas have had their two top QBs injured and were using a walk on QB ....
LSU just got knocked out of playoff contention, so i can envision them coming in lackadaisical and flat, allowing us to get an upset. I gotta wonder if some of their best recruits will go ahead and sit out the rest of the year.
At this point who cares whether they competitive or not, Billy was told this week that he got another year with the team they could lose the rest of the games this season he know he not getting fired so who cares who cares who cares🐊🐊🐊
Play calling is going to be the key to the LSU game win
The reason the schedule is so tough is because of how it challenges depth, again, what do you REALLY expect? Kinda wondering what your goal was in making this video.
I do a video every Sunday after Gator games.
Nobody gets it. Its not about building programs. Did spurrier build programs? No, he just strove to win combined with visits to Coco beach.
Georgia Tech did not play with a backup quarterback
Yes they did. King was so hurt they threw 6 passes with him. Their backup was the only one to throw the ball down field.
Did you honestly think there would be a different outcome? If you really did alot of us are gonna have to have a vote to decide our confidence in this channel.
Oh well, we still have Leonardo’s
Napier did not show a different look knowing we were running a 3rd string QB, with a dozen starters out, because winning is not the highest priority... period.
Billy and Scott have destroyed this program along with the UAA. To the point where I can't even bring myself to watch the games anymore it's so embarrassing
Recruits? Bringing them to the Miami game did more damage to recruiting then and doubt about who the coach is
Ali Peek would be a doll in Tennessee Orange 🍊🍊🍊 go Vols....
Bro u a weirdo for simpin over a *married woman*
Your weird bro
Seems like FSU is going to get win number 2 in a few weeks
Been supporting Gator football for over 30 years but I am done unless Napier and Strickland are fired! I am tired of my money being used to further this embarrassing mess. The inane excuses so called fans are using to keep Napier is ridiculous. Like Coach Spurrier use to say there are NO excuses for losing!!
As predicted, if Billy were left at the helm after the early loss to Miami, the wheels would come off before season's end. And here we are. Sad. It's like a bad car crash you can't look away from. Eventually, it will end......but not before the Gator culture of winning burns to the ground.
GT QB played Lagway didn’t
this was a scrimmage for texas, the defense showed they dont know where to go what to do. we know where this winds up
Rooting for the Gators to win absolutely does not mean rooting for the head coach. If you are rooting for a bad head coach simply because he is the Gators head coach, then you are rooting for mediocrity. You want to know why? Because if the media and the fans don't ask for the coach to be fired, then he never will be. If you just blindly give your money to UF no matter how bad the team is, then they no inventive to make any changes. I root for the Gators but I also root for the head coach to be fired. Because I want something better than 6-6. I want 12-0. No excuses, ever! I don't care if the Gator schedule was to play Georgia 12 straight times in a row. Win every one of them. If you don't, bye!!!
Sounds like Florida has some good running backs.
Time clean house. Strychnine Todd has just struck out. The Billy hire was hopium-fueled buck fever. Hiring Sunbelt Bill for top dollar when he was going to need a couple of years of on-the-job training (OTJ) was bad enough. Then, there's the ludicrous buyout. The letter was cringeworthy in its tone-deafness and senseless timing. If it's clear he failed to vet coach Goldmember, Strychnine Todd must be fired POST HASTE, as you astutely observed.
We are NEVER going to be good with Scott Stricklin keeping his job as Athletic Director. How he still has his job with 3 major scandals in 3 years, countless bad coaching hires and the bread and butter football program being a catastrophic joke is beyond me. Florida will be a penceiled in victory for any real team who plays us because we are essentially Vanderbilt now. Thanks to everyone ruining, I mean running, things at UF.
It's sad that the only people who actually care are fans and former players.
"We’re moving down there and we have an opportunity to make it 14-3 and we miss a field goal. I think that affected the momentum a little bit, no question about it.”
-U.F.'s Head Football Coach, Billy Napier.
So "missing a 3 point F.G." jammed up the once mighty Florida Gators' momentum.
And still, these same players said (before the Texas game), "We're playing for Coach Napier."
There it is Florida fans. The '24 Gator players allowed UF to get "SPANKED" like very few Gator football teams have ever experienced.
And all for "Billy Napier."
From their lips to God's ears!
Miami (like the Gators) has been decimated by injuries. I Napier is here to stay. Deal with it.
TIME FOR THE DONORS, BOOSTERS, ALUMNI, ETC TO MAKE A STAND
They already do that by not coughing up for NIL money.
UF is archery and what do you expect defense was on the field all damn day
I remember you putting beck over mertz do you still feel that way ?😂
I’ll tell you what Ellie I wish you and the rest of the border trustees at Florida would’ve been this patient with Dan Mullen Dan Mullen will coach the crap out of his team on game day. Can we hire him as the office coordinator to call plays?
Dan quit on the team. He deserved to be fired just like Napier
Stooooooooop with the Mullen angle. He quit on the team, refused to recruit, and was mentally unstable in that last season. When it comes to X’s and O’s, he’s great. His arrogance and blind loyalty to his boys on the coaching staff didn’t help him when it came time to let him go.
Mullen is the reason the job is too far gone for Billy to rebuild back into a winner. Billy just doesn't have the necessary expertise to be able to strip a program to its studs and rebuild it.
It won’t be long before DJ returns to Texas via transfer portal
That could happen. He'll need a lot of NIL money to stay a Gator. Is he a millionaire already?
When and if Stricklin gets tied up in Todd's thing, he will be a dead man walking. However, until there is a "real" president at Florida, Stricklin won't go anywhere. Neither will Napier. Think about it. Everyone said Napier needs 6 - 6 to keep the job for 2025 but since he's already penciled in for 2025 it looks like this was never true. Strciklin and Napier are tied at the hip and they sink or swim together. After yesterdays game, I don't see any swimming.
BN is an over achiever that did well at the lower level. He will never, never, never be beyond 8 wins in the SEC. If UF is ever going to competitive again, the first thing is to restructure the UAA for NIL and the portal. Gut the UAA, hire a GM to oversee the profit sports, move the AD to non-revenue. Fire Striklin. Hire a Football GM to keep the football brand (NIL, roster management, fund raising, facilities, academics) and let the GM hired the coach. Same with men's Bball.
All kinds of weather means absolutely nothing. All that is goofy.
Boosters shouldn’t drop one more penny into that program until Stricklin is gone
Ummm, are we still firing Billy?? Oh, I forgot!! LMAO!
What did anyone really expect with so many injuries its akin to having most of the team opt out for a bowl game and having a bunch of 2nd and 3rd string players on the field.
Hey, LSU lost at home at night by 4 touchdowns to Alabama!
Who the F says that a 6-6 season is acceptable for Silly Billy to keep his job? Nobody that I know!!!!!!
Yes, athletic Director said. And then gave him a pass on track to 4-8
Why would an injury riddled team compete with a team that may win the title, coming off a bye???
Big difference between losing, not competing at being down 42-0 early in the second half. But everything is justified always I guess. No nuance, just blanket excuses from people who next year will think 7-5 is better than Spurrier and Meyer combined could ever hope to achieve
Was Napier hired because he and Strickland were friends prior to the hiring? Is Napier "in over his head" coaching a top tier college team?
I think this is beyond him. I really believe had he been hired after Muschamp he would have faired better but Florida Athletics is mostly rotten to its core and it's all Stricklin's fault.
Time for the Alumni and boosters to take over and get the "Lane Train" going.
