Coach Billy Napier’s New Coaching Staff
- Thread starter Escambia94
- Start date
And NOW “recruiting” on the player-side-of-things begins to gain momentum as well.
I had pretty well come to accept the idea that we’d have to wait some time before seeing any real traction there, but it seems we needn’t worry: between flips, the transfer portal and more top visits on the way before NSD, this may turn out a productive period after all...and the attention to filling out the now vastly-expanded staff, and that staff’s top-down accent on getting more for the players, has definitely had an impact on prospective Gators.
Frankly, I’m amazed. I actually now find myself RELAXING:
As in, “I think I will just RELAX and see what happens, see who and what we have to work with by the time we get to spring ball and beyond...”
This may well be a whole new era commencing for UF.
A long time coming, too.

So what do y’all THINK?
I mean, by the lack of comment and/or discussion regarding a now near-complete staff turnover, and same for 2022 recruiting post-NSD, I had hoped for, indeed ANTICIPATED BOTH here, even COUNTED on it.
I’ll check back again I suppose in a day or two...

To be fair, discussion has been difficult because there are so many staffers. UF has been pretty smart about spreading out the hiring announcements. Now that Napier has all 10 on-field assistants we can start assessing the hires; however, I want to wait and see what other off-field assistants openings are available. What Napier has done is unprecedented at UF. In addition to negotiating for a larger salary pool for on-field and off-field assistants, he has negotiated for a dedicated salary pool for staff support. The salaries for some of the off-field assistants and staff support may result in larger salaries for these folks than the on-fleld and off-field assistants at other programs. I doubt there are any more major hires, but we can take some time now to evaluate this staff. So far Napier's army has drawn the highest praise from those in the know. Two of the offensive coaches won awards as coach of the year in their conference. Five or six of the coaches on both sides were top-20 recruiters at other programs.
