Behind a paywall but not a good start for Napier.
I subscribe to the Sentinel, so I'll provide some context.
Committed to UF since July, but Gaypier did not honor the commit, and he signed with Georgia Southern (4-star RB). The kid is not badmouthing Gaypier.
Tim Shifflet, his charismatic head coach, however, isn’t one to hold back.
Shifflet said that once Florida hired Billy Napier to replace fired head coach Dan Mullen, the Gators bailed on Gibbs.
“I don’t like the way Florida did business with him. Napier never once talked to Terrance,” Shifflet said. “Instead [Napier] sends two [Mullen] assistant coaches, who were about to get fired, to Terrance’s house to drop him. Without ever calling or anything?
“Come on, that’s [BS]. I told the [assistants] that ain’t right. That’s unprofessional and wrong to do to a kid.”
Gibbs also went on a visit just before the early National Signing Day in December to Texas, where running backs coach Stan Drayton fell in love with him. Drayton, however, was hired as head coach at Temple on signing day and Texas pulled Gibbs’ offer.
“I especially don’t like the way Texas handled things. The kid leaves there thinking he’s going to sign with Texas and then Drayton leaves, and [head coach Steve] Sarkisian wouldn’t pull the trigger,” Shifflet said.
