Florida has now lost seven straight games vs. FBS opponents
Five of those losses have been by at least two scores.
The Gators are 3-12 in their last 15 games vs. Power conference opponents.
Florida still has to play #1 Georgia, #2 Texas, #5 Ole Miss, #7 Tennessee, and #16 LSU.
Billy Napier started his Florida tenure 4-2. He's gone 8-14 since.
Texas A&M has won three of their last four games against Florida.
Florida hasn't won an SEC game in 336 days.
In his first start, Texas A&M freshman QB Marcel Reed was 11/17 for 178 yards and 2 TD. He also added 83 rushing yards and a TD.
Florida has 52 blue-chip players on their roster. Texas A&M has 50.
Billy Napier's buyout this season is $26.7 million.
According to this article, that buyout would be the second largest in history if Napier is fired this year.
Against Power Conference opponents this year, Florida is 3/18 on third down.
31 year old Florida DC Austin Armstrong had never been a Power 5 on-field assistant and was only a G5 DC for one year when Billy Napier hired him last season. He has already been stripped of defensive playcalling duties.
of the people who were being discussed - i still think cbn is the best choice. Just expcted him to grow and evolve in the time since then. He's the same as he was whe he started. If it doesn't work - well lets do it again, it might work this time!
I've been behind cbn as a good choice until miami this year. He showed he has no intention on changing or growing or improving. It's his g5 way or the L way. No improvement allowed.
IIRC Florida’s big issue at the time was recruiting and they got arguably the best recruiter in CFB. The problem is he brought his entire staff with him, some of whom have hardly any FBS experience, let alone SEC. And his play calling is not good.
He’s a good coach. I imagine he’ll learn from this disaster and be back at the top spot in the SEC at some point and completely dominate.
Florida's issues at the time were recruiting and discipline. More than just his recruiting, we wanted a Saban lite CEO type coach where the whole program is held responsible, is disciplined, and well coached. It's why we accepted the concept of Napier's Army as he would head everything, but have enough help that everyone(and every position) gets attention to details.
What we got is a recruiter that can't close, a team that shows no discipline anywhere, a failed S&C program, and finger-pointing and false promises.
Napier has a long journey if he wants back into a top spot in the SEC after this.
There is 0 chance Napier will ever get an SEC or maybe even P5 job again. He’s shown he can’t adapt his “process” and “system”, has an awful offensive scheme and absolutely will not give up calling plays or the team’s commitment to that scheme and his team has little to know discipline and toughness despite all the tough talk and “attention to detail”
It has been 6,094 days since Florida won a National Championship.
Honestly, better than most schools. It's also cool that most people alive who can say they watched their school win national titles in football, men's basketball, and baseball are Florida fans.
That 3rd to last bullet is all you need to know and should be a fireable offense in itself. For anyone wondering why the gator defense is so bad…there’s your answer
