Miami was never in any danger. An ACC team smoked them. They will be lucky to beat FSU at the end.

Worst UF coach in history, ironically probably also the highest paid and most expensive to fire ($20M to just have him pack up and leave)

20 mil is a cheap buy out now days. Learn a lesson. Hire the right coach. Right now, I like:
1. The dude from Indiana
2. Kiffen
3. The Cuse coach
4. Dabo

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Gus Malzhan got 21 million from Auburn firing him.

Jimbo Fischer firing from Texas A&M was expensive to. Don't know that number but Jimbo probably bought himself a small Caribbean Island with it.

Napier is one hard headed guy. Literally everybody has been telling him to hire an OC, but, nooooooooo, he's too smart for that. Stricklin deserves a good bit of the blame for not laying down the law.

UCLA has already fired their coach and today Oklahoma State Coach Gundey got the axe. What is Gainesville waiting for?

The word in the swamp is that they don't have the cash on hand to pay his buy out. I really want to know who these lawyers are that broker these deals. Respect.

If the Gators can pull off a victory against Texas, Napier will get a reprieve. For a little while. All the guys on game day were lamenting how fast coaches get fired, how short sighted that is and what a good coach Napier is. I disagree. He should have hired an offensive coordinator and learned about how time outs are strategically used. I would also suggest throwing off any player that spits in another opposing teams players face. Just me.

He won't be fired until the end of the season, if then. They played a great game, esp in the first half. But, even so, Napier tried to throw away the game at the end with his piss poor clock management. Exactly NOBODY would have turned down the 10 seconds except Napier. His skull is THICK. I didn't listen to any post game interviews, but I can just hear it -
Question - Why did you not take the 10 second runoff
Answer - Duh, that's what got us here.

The guy is just a numbskull. He should have never left La. He is in over his head at UF.

Dallas Wilson is a stud.

Agreed. The last few minutes of every game are where he does his worst. The game against Texas was amazing. Defense was amazing, Lagway played great and a bunch of freshman receivers looked like they will be playing on sunday next year. Who was that team?

And there you have it. Got the gator notion email at 3:30. Looks like it was decided before the very unlikely win where the gators did everything they could to give that game away. Not sure how well they do with the interim coach but maybe he will hire an offensive coordinator and use the clock like he understands timeouts. Now the only game left I care about is FSU at the end. The battle of the losers.

They're sticking with him this morning, huh? I guess we will see what tomorrow brings.

As for the Gators, I have absolutely no faith in Stricklin. He hit a home run with Golden, but b-ball is different, and he has pretty much struck out everywhere else, not just with football coaches. Same with Foley. He hit a home run with Billy D., but his other coaching hires sucked across all sports with the exception of Meyer who was forced on him by Bernie Machin (who had just come from Univ of Utah where Meyer was).

Florida's job offer to Lane Kiffin is reportedly worth $81 million over six years, per
@gatorbaitmedia
??

At a whopping $13.5 million per year, Kiffin would become the HIGHEST-PAID coach in CFB

Free Money: Gators only -7.5 point underdawgs to Georgia. Georgia more than likely going to blow them out. Take Georgia and the points.

Georgia has been crazy sporadic and it wouldn't shock me if the same team that beat Texas shows up and gets very near a victory against Georgia. A very close loss.

Florida played very well. Georgia played better. That goal line stand ended the game for florida. A close loss.

Fun game to watch. Milliions of people who took Georgia and the 7.5 points gasped when the Qb took a knee at the goal line rather than scoring the TD. Dammit. The house always wins.
