Momentum. UF had it, UT is bleeding it

[Godfatha]

The promise of Lagway's play last year kept Sunbelt Billy in his job, imo. Now that promise looks like fools gold.

I don't think they ever intended to fire Napier. They tried to get him to hire a playcaller and he told them if they didn't like him calling plays they could buy him out. They didn't.

Mario can develop QBs.

Emory Williams has impressed in practice and the spring game . They also have a 4* true freshman. Not sure if he would go after another transfer or not.

Hard to argue with that but its not just that. It's his refusal to allow more creativity on offense by a real OC and, more importantly, the repeate and frustrating lack of preparation for basic game management directly attributed to bad coaching : procedure and personnel penalties coming out of timeouts, basic equipment errors, stupid personal fouls and lack of discipline.

Reportedly, Nico is available...

I already said I was waaaaaayyyyy off. UF is toast.

And you saying that should silence the ridicule? On the contrary my scaly friend.

 

[hUTch2002]

Check out where Lagway is on this chart.

Yikes. That’s worse than I would’ve guessed.

So you are saying that he is coaching for a buy out

Great. The one year we have them scheduled towards the latter part of the season, it gives them time to insert a new starter at QB and provide him experience before Tennessee comes to the Swamp.

Google Mario and get back to us

They were talking about Miami next year not FL this year.

How in the world did Gameday end up at Florida v Miami?

Because both Florida and Miami have momentum (it's a truth of physics that a jet in ascent and a jet crashing to the earth both have momentum).

I can envision no set of circumstances in which UT loses to the Gators this year.
None. Zip. Nada.

bannable post imo, trying to voodoo is expressly prohibited

This seems like a silly overreaction. There is a good chance the coach is replaced before the starting QB. On top of that, the 30 day portal window opens so there could be an exodus.

Tale of two rivals: Florida is surging into 2025, Tennessee is bleeding out

Florida is projecting strength, Tennessee is venting vulnerability. Welcome to a wild 2025 offseason.

I dare not post this in the FB forum. But it does feel like UF is building momentum whereas Tennessee is questioning itself to the point it will lose confidence and players.

The offseason was awesome for UF.

They will play their 3rd string QB who will look like a Heisman candidate against us. I age already seen this script.

How awesome would that be. Gata picks him up and we get to go to the Swamp and pound his slimy ass into the muck.

 

[The_Big_Orange]

Would be surprised if we don’t destroy UF. They have the momentum of square block on 14 degree incline.

This is the biggest thing for me. I think UF would be better off firing Napier now if they are going to do it. Starters and rotational players would be much less likely to enter right now with so much of the season ahead of them. Even on a bad team, you still want to play.

But if you fire Napier the first week of November, you would likely see a mass exodus of players with only 4 games remaining and guys trying to get a head start on looking for a new team. Florida could be really thin the last few weeks of the regular season.

That would be almost funny since their backup is Harrison Bailey (former announced savior of the Tennessee football program).
