It is 2015, Jim McElwain is 6-0 and Florida is ranked #8. The Gators are back

It is 2018, Dan Mullen is 7-1 and Florida is ranked #9. The Gators are back

It is 2022, Billy Napier is 1-0 and Florida is ranked #12. The Gators are back

It is 2026, Jon Sumrall is 4-0 and Florida is ranked #8. The Gators are back

[u/FailstoFail → u/someoldhussy]

Holy shit. I didn’t realize they all started out that hot (Minus Napier with only 1-0 lol)

[u/LightningDusty → u/FailstoFail]

To be fair, the 1 was a win over #7 and future PAC-12 Champion Utah.

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/LightningDusty]

That game basically got Anthony Richardson drafted lol

[u/badadviceforyou244 → u/AnEmptyKarst]

That game propped up half the SEC that year

[u/FailstoFail → u/LightningDusty]

That is good context! Thanks!

[u/soapy_goatherd → u/FailstoFail]

Some additional context you might enjoy is that this was a great example of Kyle whittingham getting super conservative with a lead that should’ve been enough, and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

[u/LogicianMission22 → u/soapy_goatherd]

Also shows the stupidity of going for 2 before you have to. Had we not gone for 2 and gone up 20-14 instead of 19-14, we would have been able to score a game winning field goal.

[u/VersaTron → u/soapy_goatherd]

I really enjoyed this context

[u/lydiamoney → u/FailstoFail]

It was the other half of the "lil ah stadium" home and home series

[u/herpblarb6319 → u/LightningDusty]

Anthony Richardson was hyped to hell that season too

[u/LogicianMission22 → u/LightningDusty]

Still can’t believe we lost that game.

[u/soupjaw → u/LogicianMission22]

Only because it wasn't in a little ah stadium 

[u/RoofAutomatic5210 → u/LightningDusty]

RIP

[u/the_D1CKENS → u/LightningDusty]

Yeah... the following season was the "Little ahh stadium" comment right before they got smacked

[u/AMETSFAN → u/FailstoFail]

I mean Dan Mullen was good until he wasn't.

[u/Always_Chubb-y → u/AMETSFAN]

I think thats kinda the point here for all the coaches

[u/AMETSFAN → u/Always_Chubb-y]

Billy Napier was never good except for like a few weeks in 2024, and McElwain was always kind of treading water even when he made SEC title games. Mullen was legit until he stopped caring.

[u/thr33beggars → u/FailstoFail]

You can’t have your hopes dashed if you don’t get the hope part first.

[u/tomtheracecar → u/someoldhussy]

All the haters last week said UF wasn’t back and we were still garbage time. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters

[u/LiteratureSure5374 → u/tomtheracecar]

Personally I can handle a well played loss that’s just sports .Showing up like Apollo Creed after one big upset in a row and playing like you have never seen a football before is inexcusable…Sumrall got schooled on the difference between the American Conference and the SEC…

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2 → u/tomtheracecar]

I change my flair for ONE WEEK and this shit happens

[u/foreverseptember → u/ItsFreakinHarry2]

Change it back!!!

I'll always pay extra for "Florida Pain Premium"

[u/NanoBuc → u/someoldhussy]

That Napier stat only being 1-0 is actually kind of funny. Was probably a bad oman at the time that the Florida is back talk only lasted a week before Kentucky and a 1-11 USF team stifled our offense.

[u/conebread53 → u/NanoBuc]

I thought it was more of a bad Yemen.

[u/deweycrow → u/NanoBuc]

Well yall had to try to win with AR throwing nonstop picks

[u/Interesting-Worth975 → u/someoldhussy]

We’re not very good, for sure.

[u/tequilajinx → u/Interesting-Worth975]

True

[u/FuckThesePeople69 → u/someoldhussy]

I read this in the voice of Dr Manhattan 

[u/ApatheticFinsFan → u/someoldhussy]

I’d rather the Gators play the 2019 LSU Tigers than any Mizzou team.

[u/BleedBlue__ → u/someoldhussy]

It’s 2030, we still suck ass

[u/theycallmeryan → u/someoldhussy]

I'm tired boss

[u/bigdaddyguap → u/someoldhussy]

Lol thank you. Been trying to tell everyone that this is the same cycle we’ve seen a million times.

[u/mousepadjones → u/bigdaddyguap]

No one could hear you over that chop thing

[u/GoinLong → u/someoldhussy]

Gata is Texas.

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/someoldhussy]

At least I’ll never have to worry about Arizona being 8.

):

[u/catmousehat → u/someoldhussy]

The Napier one made me giggle.

[u/Tarmacked → u/someoldhussy]

Dan Mullen at least made 3 NY6 bowls

[u/JayMerlyn → u/someoldhussy]

Why did I expect a Cleat Yeet joke?

[u/Kurt0690 → u/someoldhussy]

Were any shoes thrown during this game?

[u/cactusjack2323 → u/someoldhussy]

Unveil that Georgia bulldogs flair

[u/pitchesandthrows → u/someoldhussy]

Will muschamp started 4-0 in 2011 to #12

[u/lbutler1234 → u/someoldhussy]

Hey Mizzou ruined the 2018 one too (iirc)

[u/AvianFlu83 → u/someoldhussy]

I will always wonder where that 2015 team would’ve gone if Grier never got suspended

[u/Naive-Kangaroo3031 → u/someoldhussy]

I think they are definitely making strides, would not be surprised if they make the SEC east next year

[u/bullsci → u/someoldhussy]

This kind of falls apart when you realize Spurrier and Meyer had blowout losses on the road their first year too. Sumrall could be anything, we don’t know yet
