These things happen, it’s embarrassing but they add up in the long term, these things go in cycles.

Alabama fired a new Head Coach before he coached a single game over getting caught with a prostitute.

FSU had players lining up facing the wrong direction on plays.

Georgia went thru Ray Goff and Jim Donnan, Tennessee went thru a string of losers, the point is, things go in cycles.

It may not be Napier but at some point a coach at UF will start to win big, we have to many positives to be down forever.

When I was a student at UF, we went 0-10-1 one year, so I now losing and have been in stands for national title wins, I’ve seen both extremes.

Thing is, I remember that 1979 team, they only had a few players of talent, but they played hard, and they did improve as the season progressed, they were competitive against a pretty good FSU team.

And you saw the payoff in the next season, when we were Lindsey Scott away from a share of the SEC title.

I don’t see this happening with Napier right now, they regressed last year as the season progressed, and that embarrassment on Thursday, I don’t care about the stats or the score, the bottom-line is they didn’t look like a well-coached team.

And seeing how Richardson did ok in pre-season, it makes me wonder what he would have accomplished in college with better coaches.

LOL, they think UF fans are bad, wait until Saban is no longer at Bama, and they get their turn.
