    OGT 2024 Week 6: Florida Gators vs UCF Knights

    On paper the Gators are more talented and more multidimensional than the Bronze Knights. The game plan should be easy: stack the box on defense and throw vertically. Those are simple tactics already in Napier’s Post-It note playbooks that should work against Rural Central Florida Basement’s...

    The Next Coach of the Florida Gators will be...

    Lane Kiffin Background Lane Monte Kiffin is 99-50 overall with head coaching stops at the Oakland Raiders, Tennessee, USC, Florida Atlantic, and Ole Miss. Kiffin was 28-15 (65.1%) overall, 17-12 (58.6%) at USC, where he was fired after going 3-2 in 2013. From 2013 to 2017, Kiffin attended the...

    OGT 2024 Week 6: Florida Gators vs UCF Knights

    The Florida Gators will host the UCF Knights in The Swamp on Saturday, October 5th at 7:45 ET/ 6:45 CT. This game feels like it could be one of the last, if not the last, home game for William Hall Napier. Billy "Scared Money Does Indeed Make Money...at least $26 million dollars" Napier is 13-16...

    Top reasons to not fire Scott Stricklin just because the football team is not winning championships

    That is why this thread is titled Top reasons to not fire Scott Stricklin just because the football team is not winning championships There are other threads for discussions on the head coach. We all know he sucks. Nothing can change the fact that he will go down as the worst coach in Gator...

    Top reasons to not fire Scott Stricklin just because the football team is not winning championships

    Nick Saban won a national championship at LSU in 2003 before taking the job at Alabama in 2007. That gave him the gravitas with the Alabama president through the athletic director to make the changes that he recommended, with many of those changes being a transformation into a professional...

    OGT 2024 Week 5: Florida Gators Bye Week

    Good news! The Florida Gators will not lose this weekend! This would be a good time to look back at preseason predictions and see how far the Gators have progressed or regressed in the first quarter of the season compared to the competition. Based on the ESPN FPI trends, here is what we can see...

    OGT 2024 Week 4: Florida Gators at Mississippi State Bulldogs

    I love your optimism. I really do. I am nitpicking at this win but not enjoying as a win or possible sign of positive things to come. Go Gators.

    Out of the BLUE!

    A win is a win, but this might be the last win of Napier's reign as coach. I did like seeing Lagway work with a bunch of freshmen and redshirt freshmen. They seem to have better chemistry amongst themselves. Without a GM, it will take leadership from Lagway, assuming he stays, to keep this team...

    Top reasons to not fire Scott Stricklin just because the football team is not winning championships

    That is exactly why we should stop talking about firing the wrong people. The Florida athletics program will continue to decline across all sports if things do not change now. Focusing on a football coach and an athletic director is just begging for more of the same. The game changer will be...

    On the bright side, Napier is doing a better job of alternating QBs. Player C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT Graham Mertz 15/16 147 9.2 3 0 DJ Lagway 4/4 49 12.3 0 0 19/20 196 9.8 3 0

    In today’s era of transfer portal free agency, there is a high probability of 60+ players transferring out no matter when Napier is fired. The reason is not due to the losses, but the way the Gators lost and the way they barely stayed ahead of Samford in the first half.

    I mentioned in a couple other threads the idea of interviewing Gruden for head coach but countering with an offer as a GM. That would make best use of his NFL connections while isolating his non-politically correct personality from the public. Also by hiring him as a GM he could start in October...

    Out of the BLUE!

    I hate to be the one to break this to you, but just about any younger Baby Boomer, any Gen X or older Millennial coach says these kind of things in a football environment or an office environment and they are not racists. They are products of their environment and it takes at least a generation...

    Gentlemen, we have been through this enough times to know that as long as Florida is cycling through coaches every 3-4 years that we are going to hear every rumor imaginable. In 2022 it was James Franklin, Lane Kiffin, or Kalen DeBoer but we got Billy Napier (ref...

    Going back in time to this post with an updated perspective. Here are the problems and potential solutions to fix Florida Gator football: Problem 1: The Gator football program business model is outdated and entirely dependent on success experienced under Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer. As...
