I know he doesn’t venture out of the Gator Tears thread much but someone may need to check on @flagator86

That Georgia game was a toll on him and now this

Todd Stroud?

K now FSU needs to follow suit, haha.

Dem broke *** n(word) couldnt buy the mini bar.

Putting aside this year’s recruiting battles over Hanks and Brown, aren’t we better off with UF keeping Napier? Isn’t he basically the modern day Ron Zook?

I'm in favor of a lifetime contract for Slingblade Billy.

 

[CanesTN]

It's our turn to crank out the "keep your coach" shirts for UF and FS-Poo

 

[Echtcane]

Lane must have said no.

Now get Lagway or a better QB and kick their *** again early next season. We can not lose to a lame duck coach

 

[dirtyred786]

His team hasn't given up on him like Norvell's Semiholes, so I'll give him credit for that

Saved money is crazy.

Those sources said Florida intends to spend between $10 million to $13 million this offseason on NIL investments in players.

“Florida is drastically improved on the line of scrimmage, which is eye opening,” a source close to the program told SDS. “With one of the best young players in the country in DJ Lagway and a defense making strides, we feel we more NIL investment in players, especially in the portal, could make the Gators a great team in 2025. If we can do that without a coaching change, it creates even more room for NIL investment.”

As an opposed to what last year? And who in the **** would want to go and play for a lame duck coach especially if it’s 1 and done type players.

They’re beyond lucky that their 2 best recruits this year are legacy players

 

[NCCanefan]

He was actually doing well this year given the schedule. Losing both qbs guarantees they will probably lose out. I’m not surprised by the timing of this announcement

LOL, doing well.

Nvm.

 

[caneingville]

He was a better coach too.

I mean instead of throwing $26M down the drain to buyout a coach, its not unreasonable to just throw that on NIL instead and see what happens lol. Now it's probably just going to be a waste of money AND another year of that bad coach, but it's not a crazy strategy, especially if they know they have to get a new president and AD anyways and the timing doesn't align.
