That is the entire point of a settlement.


Trust me. This is kind of in my wheel house. Rashada's lawyer is going to want to take some depositions before they settle in order to drive up the amount of the settlement. And the defense is going to file some early motions to dismiss that won't succeed. But it takes time for all of that to play out.

Y’all were chomping at the bit to fire drink before last season. Funny how that works.

That's true it took him what till his 4th year?

Norvell is another who was not in good shape going into year 3.

Florida's schedule is just brutal in comparison that's why 8 wins for Napier would be comparable to those coaches 10 win seasons.

And compare those coaches schedules and look at mizzou’s schedule this year. Night and day difference.

But us fans aren’t interested in the big picture.

Give drink any decent schedule.

There’s a reason with all the coaching vacancies no one sought him out yet took his coordinator and position coaches. And they gladly left.

This actually helped Drinkwitz build the football program. Slowly he is building it the right way. Learning on the job and boom he is also recruiting a lot better. He does have ways to go to get Mizzou to be a top tier with UGA, Alabama, and some others. Recruiting was the problem at a school like Missouri. He is now getting the local top talents a reason to stay closer to home. This is why I am happy for NIL and the transfer portal rules change. It actually helped Drinkwitz to get some top talents.

Is his talents able to compete with those team’s talents with those team’s schedules year in and year out? Upgrade the schedule to competitive with other team’s schedules with equal talents and let’s see how his coaching and talents stack up to the best coaches and talents in this talents football world of talents.

Surely you jest.

Florida has a projected ranking of #33.

With the new additions to the conference, 9 SEC teams are ranked in the top 25.

Your "come down to coaching" remark is a bit delusional.
I suggest that you contact the CAW to find out where he buys smelling salts along with some decent tequila.

Napier promised that he would beat both Georgia and Florida State this coming season.

It begs this question: Does Napier really want to continue to absorb the brunt of a no win situation?

Idk enough about Napier to confirm him being as much of a clown as Mullen.

But he certainly isn’t a very good coach.

Their offense scored 36 total points on one of the worst defenses in the SEC during the spring game and Billy punted for field position to set up the game winning drive IN THE SPRING GAME

Dude doesn't have it

If he did offer a kid a million to sign then not follow through he's one of the dumbest coaches in CFB

I recall when Napier was hired where he talked about how he would focus on analytics.

That comment put a smile on my face.

Someone objectively stating a coach who hasn’t coached well isn’t a good coach brings you that much joy lol

You should get out more.

My comment was about his outlook from the very start.

My impression was that he was in for a rude awakening.

The smile was all about how much hype Napier received by the media and how the Florida admin. fell for it all; hook, line and sinker.
