    Top reasons to not fire Scott Stricklin just because the football team is not winning championships

    That is exactly why we should stop talking about firing the wrong people. The Florida athletics program will continue to decline across all sports if things do not change now. Focusing on a football coach and an athletic director is just begging for more of the same. The game changer will be...

    OGT 2024 Week 4: Florida Gators at Mississippi State Bulldogs

    OGT 2024 Week 4: Florida Gators at Mississippi State Bulldogs

    On the bright side, Napier is doing a better job of alternating QBs. Player C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT Graham Mertz 15/16 147 9.2 3 0 DJ Lagway 4/4 49 12.3 0 0 19/20 196 9.8 3 0

    Out of the BLUE!

    In today’s era of transfer portal free agency, there is a high probability of 60+ players transferring out no matter when Napier is fired. The reason is not due to the losses, but the way the Gators lost and the way they barely stayed ahead of Samford in the first half.

    Out of the BLUE!

    I mentioned in a couple other threads the idea of interviewing Gruden for head coach but countering with an offer as a GM. That would make best use of his NFL connections while isolating his non-politically correct personality from the public. Also by hiring him as a GM he could start in October...

    Out of the BLUE!

    I hate to be the one to break this to you, but just about any younger Baby Boomer, any Gen X or older Millennial coach says these kind of things in a football environment or an office environment and they are not racists. They are products of their environment and it takes at least a generation...

    Out of the BLUE!

    Gentlemen, we have been through this enough times to know that as long as Florida is cycling through coaches every 3-4 years that we are going to hear every rumor imaginable. In 2022 it was James Franklin, Lane Kiffin, or Kalen DeBoer but we got Billy Napier (ref...

    Top reasons to not fire Scott Stricklin just because the football team is not winning championships

    Going back in time to this post with an updated perspective. Here are the problems and potential solutions to fix Florida Gator football: Problem 1: The Gator football program business model is outdated and entirely dependent on success experienced under Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer. As...

    The only way for Florida to keep the good parts of its 2024 and projected 2025-2026 talent is to hire a general manager immediately! A general manager would operate the Gator football team like an NFL team and work with agents to keep players irrespective of the coaching changes.

    Top Prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft

    The early 2025 mock draft does not have a single Gator projected in the 1st round, but there is a former Gator projected at pick #30, Princely Umanmilien. Just for kicks, there are two former Gator recruits--Harold Perkins and Isaiah Bond. https://twitter.com/CFBRep/status/1836032520590143769

    Lane Kiffin apparently is the favorite on social media. Kiffin has been head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels since 2020, where he has a 37-15 record. His overall record is 97-49 in college, 5-15 in the NFL. He has two Conference USA championships (2017, 2019). There has been discussion on his...

    There are no betting lines on Brian Johnson, but I can add him to the list of coaches to watch.

    Jamey Chadwell has been the head coach at Liberty since 2023, where he has a 16-1 record. His overall coaching record is 114-58 with stints at North Greenville (2009-2011), Delta State (2012), and Coastal Carolina (2017, 2019-2022). He has won conference championships in Conference USA (2023)...

    Betting sites are already posting odds for the next Gator coach in 2025. The ones that I consider realistic will be highlighted in orange for discussion later in the thread. Blue indicates interesting guesses that others have been highlighting on social media. The ones in red are not realistic...

    OGT 2024 Week 4: Florida Gators at Mississippi State Bulldogs

    For the first time in my life I see watching Gator football games as a chore, and I somewhat remember the 0-10-1 season in 1979!

    OGT 2024 Week 4: Florida Gators at Mississippi State Bulldogs

    The once mighty 1-2 (0-1) Florida Gators will travel to Stark Vegas to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs (1-2). For some odd reason, the Gators are favored by 6, and the over/under is 57.5. The last time these teams met was in Dan Mullen's first year at Florida after previously coaching at...

    OGT 2024 Week 3: Florida Gators vs Texas A&M Aggies

    I am ashamed of this coaching staff. In all kinds of weather.
