'18 FL WR Jacob Copeland (Florida signee)

[Big Orange Rock]

I felt really bad for him and then the guy on tv grilling him about it. At the end of the day a kid has to do what his gut tells him and sometimes it is not gonna line up with what mamma wants. I would never do that to my child on national tv or anywhere else for that matter. I would tell them my thoughts and reasons and support them 100 if they chose otherwise.

 

[DaddyChad]

You hate to see it

Not really.

 

[tennesseefan31]

Who even is gonna be left to play for Florida?

 

[bignewt]

Florida gonna go get like 20 portal players, just watch.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

AR15 needs to hit that portal

 

[sonofUT62]

Billy f------- Napier is a fraud

Or all of the low effort dead weight that got Florida in this mess is seeing the writing on the wall and hitting the road.

 

[rltw1974]

I guess ole Sunbelt Billy has a plan, it is either a genius one or he is going to set the Gators back for years!!

 

[RikidyBones]

Lololol

Well he just hired Corey Raymond away from LSU, will be interesting.

I wonder what happened there. Raymond leave on his own or Kelly encourage him to leave. I can’t imagine it being the latter. That’s two big assistants gone that are also great recruiters.

He hired Wilson back and gave him the AHC/ RC position. Not sure if he did that because he wanted to or if it was necessitated by CR leaving.

KISS OF DEATH.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Wasn't his mom upset he picked Florida?

 

[SoilVol]

We're going to destroy FLA in Neyland next season. Book it.

For once I can't wait to play Florida in September.

 

[BreatheUT]

This really was one of the weirdest decisions I’ve watched live.

The other was Landon Collins.

Heupel should be on a long leash IMO

No must win games for first three years

Just keep us competitive, entertaining and playing in bowl games while building a solid roster through recruiting and the portal.

In the current era of football, stability at the top wins above all else

No sense mandating he win the 2022 Florida game and getting him on the hotseat ~15 games into his tenure. That would set Tennessee back another 4 to 5 years. I’m done with the revolving door of coaches….

Napier will tear that program down to the foundation when it needs a new door and fresh coat of paint because he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room

That’s definitely the vibe he’s putting out. Quite the ego.

Momma always right

Complete rebuild is hard to do with what expectations will be. We know that year 0 doesn't work out too well.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

No thanks. The consensus on the Gator board is that he has major attitude problems. Always unhappy.

 

[VolzMan53]

The heck is going on at Florida?!

The draining of the swamp and I'm having tears of sweetness enjoying it !

You are not going to get any positives about Gator players leaving from the Gator forums.
