Agree 100% .Recruiting is a whoooole other gift and can get tedious to say the least when having to deal with a bunch of spoiled brats who are used to everyone in their lives fawning over them like they’re someone special….

Jesus. Napier's 140 person staff (63 paid):


(Napier) is amassing (an) army. Eight of 10 on-field assistants have been hired. Half of his 12 analyst/quality control positions are filled. His strength and conditioning, football operations and personnel departments each have five jobs with four hirings completed. Both player performance specialists are on hand. His director of nutrition will be onboarding two registered dietitians — one for offense, one for defense — as well as an executive chef. There are eight spots for marketing/creative, and three spots for the “GatorMade” program that provides NIL guidance and career counseling.

All told, there are 63 full-time staffers, plus another 77 intern spots within the master plan. “That’s a big part of what we believe in: more people that have a sincere care for the player and want to impact the player,” Napier said.

It sounds gluttonous — 140 jobs for a football team that, counting walk-ons, consists of around 130 players. But during Florida’s brief coaching search, Napier presented athletic director Scott Stricklin with specific tasks for each hire and the overwhelming flowchart made sense. Now it’s being implemented with designs on maintaining quality of life for people within the organization.

“This profession can chew you up and spit you out,” Napier said. “Literally I could work every day of my life, from sunup to sundown and more. There’s that much work to do. As competitors, we can let it consume us.”

Building out such an expansive organization, he contends, allows coaches to delegate, be more efficient with their time and “get good at the things that are important” to playing championship football.

“There’s nobody that’s just sitting around eating popcorn, just watching the game,” Napier said. “We’ve got things for them to do. We’re not going to hire anybody we don’t have a very clearly defined role for.”

That includes two on-campus recruiting staffers who are front-and-center this weekend as official visitors arrive. Napier hired Katie Turner away from Georgia and promoted her to assistant AD of recruiting strategy, with sources telling The Athletic she’ll earn a $200,000 salary. He also brought in Bri Wade from Louisiana as director of on-campus recruiting.

“You have the personnel component of what you do, and then you have the Ritz-Carlton Effect, the hospitality component of what you do, the customer service side,” Napier said. “We’re basically in the sales business. We’re selling our product, right? We’re presenting our product, we’re creating unique experiences for the player, their families. In recruiting it’s important that you get really individualized because no situation is the same. That’s what Katie and Bri do. They help us organize that experience that these players have for us, and no detail is too small.”

This weekend’s prized visitor, Texas A&M five-star commit Harold Perkins, is the nation’s top-ranked linebacker, according to the 247Sports composite (which factors in rankings from Rivals and ESPN). Four-star safety Jacoby Matthews, thought to be choosing between Texas A&M and home-state LSU, is coming to Gainesville as well. Landing either would drastically improve the mood of Florida’s 2022 recruiting class that ranks 41st nationally.

With three transfers committed so far, Napier confirmed there are more to come.

“I think you could see us add a number of players over the next eight to 10 days,” he said. “We’re still in the process of working on that part of our team.”

As you might surmise, there’s a new staffer focused solely on scouting the portal — Bird Sherrill, director of college personnel. He spent six seasons with the Detroit Lions after graduating from Alabama in 2016.

Corey Raymond isn't going to flip to UM for more money. He reached out to Miami, but since we had T-Rob, it wasn't super-high-priority to throw money at him. Between Gaypier being a Louisiana guy, staying in the SEC to get payback on Kelly, the fact that he was prioritized by the Gaytors, and the fact that Raymond is a very loyal guy, there's no way in **** that Miami could pry him away.

I wonder what coach/staff member from the old staff did this @RVACane @Cryptical Envelopment

Inside the Gators learned over the weekend that there was an incident, that was described as more of a speed bump than a roadblock, that took place during the hiring process.

Documents, which detailed salary, titles, responsibilities, etc..., were inadvertently left in the printer and were found by a former staffer.

ITG was told that said staffer proceeded to give some of the info to a reporter, and then some to either an agent, representative or someone of that nature (I am not 100% clear on what their job is).

We were told that the names getting out wasn't that big a deal, because you could follow past relationships to come up with some of them, but rather the contract info was 'released' before Billy Napier and UF were able to lock in deals with those coaches.

What they found most surprising is that someone inside the building would do that in the first place. Coaches and staff members come and go, but we were told to do that was seen as a big 'FU' to the program that was still paying that person's salary - and there was no upside to it other than to be vindictive.

Now, not to say that that incident caused UF to miss out on any coaches, but we were told that it 'wasn't helpful.'

It could’ve been any staffer - like even a marketing person in recruiting if new ones were brought in. Not necessarily a coach unless only coaches are in that area.

It’s probably a disgruntled former or soon to be former staffer or coach.

Edit: oh the original sim of leaving it on the printer? Yeah, that guy. Lol

Uhhhh...common.

And other people have it too. I usually have such information where I work, because I have to do income tax provision calculations and income tax return disclosures based on the salaries of the most highly-compensated employees and/or executives.

A few years ago, I also had to speak with an Administrative Assistant who had put all the headhunter fees into a memo that was circulating internally. Based on the fees, all you had to do was divide by 20% to figure out everyone's salary.

Nah, I was talking about the "coach to be hired" who "could have been figured out" based on past relationships. Because THAT GUY clearly has blackmail info on Gaypier.

Do we wanna call him Hillbilly or Bildo Gapier?

I've been going with "Gaypier" just because it clarifies the pronunciation and is more aesthetically consistent with "Gaytors". I'm not trying to invent a new nickname or anything, I'm just trying to be painfully clear with the **** good nickname that we already have.

And I am fine with first-name takeoffs such as Hillbilly and Bildo.
