Yep Webb season cancelled.

seems awful close to the season to cancel. regardless of ideological differences anyone not recognizing that football is king in the south, then making THAT decision will ultimately not be around long

There’s some other stuff going on down there. I have friends with kids there and they are trouble kids, not academically strong. They are the teens parents need out of the house and away from their siblings so they are willing to pay 60k to have them go live on campus 30 minutes down the road at the age of 15.

Just talked with the coach and the way they went about this is shameful. They basically stownwalled every boy that wanted to come in and play. Didn’t give financial aid or denied them completely. They basically set the coach up by stopping all support.

Yeah it’s sad to see these parents drop these kids off at 7th grade and leave them - some very screwed up kids there for sure.

Meanwhile media trying to spin this as if allowing for a one time transfer has already ruined a program smh

This is the craziest one lol

Beautiful pocket too on all of those. Just bad throws

Maybe Nico will follow the Flag Football path.

He looks to have that skill set.

Just saying.

This is why I think Tennessee could really surprise people this year. Folks are acting like we are going to experience some big drop off in QB play because of the loss of Nico. They’re comparing what they think our QB will do this year with what folks thought Nico would do this year. That’s not the comparison. We made the playoff with Nico‘s poor performance in 2024 and if our QB play this year is merely as good as Nico’s was last year, with this schedule, we have a good chance to make the playoff again. But I think QB play can be very much improved.

1000000000% agree

I agree with this.

I'd just add we also lost a lot on the defensive line so depth should be affected, tho I think front line talent is still really good. Also not knowing exactly what kind of shape McCoy comes back in is a question.

Then you also lost a stalwart center, SEC player of the year at rb...

So there are more questions than just QB.

I do think this is the first time in a long time I think we have good answers coming in. But you just don't know, till you know.

Anxiously excited/cautiously optimistic... However you want to say it.

If the QB hits tho..... Look out. If QB busts... Uh oh.

 

[VawlIn]

Going to a place like Oakland could really help him if he’s wanting to play receiver. I would imagine they have a solid QB and I’m sure he’ll get plenty of targets. Who knows, maybe by early October he’s shown enough improvement with his hands to where Heup and Pope decide they’re willing to give him the chance

I think our D has the potential to be better than last year overall. We’re gonna be tough up front. Our end play has tremendous potential. Linebacker play should be improved as well as secondary play. But you’re right, until we see it on the field we just don’t know. Excited about the season, I think the conference is wide open. Should be some exciting games this year. GBO

Oakland doesn't really throw the ball

While I mostly agree, the one difference is Fl and Al are on the road. Reverse those 2 games and I would 100% agree with you..

Atleast the UF game is at the end of the yr when they usually have quit lol

We usually always play them when they have hope

Good point and common for a lot of HS’s which makes it difficult at times to know how a hs cb will translate to college. You go from 90% run support in some divisions to trying to go 1 v 1 against Mike Matthews a few months later and it can take time.

Here you go again proving you really don’t know anything

True, but Tennessee could lose both of those games and still “surprise.” Most pundits have picked Tennessee around 9 or 10 in the SEC, so anything more than 8 wins surpasses those expectations.

Heupel has been a HC for 8 years. He has won more than 8 games all but 2. His winning percentage is just below 75, like 74.7%

Phillip Fulmer, CFB HoF, was a .745% granted he coached longer. Id argue the SEC wasn't as tough top to bottom then.

Just by the numbers, Josh has a greater than 75% chance to win over 8 games, his 9th year.



How many teams in CFB would take that?

Florida football predicted to part ways with Billy Napier for legendary 6-time Alabama champion

The Florida Gators could very well have another mediocre season, which isn't the standard for the program. If that happens, Billy Napier could be out of a job and a legend could replace him.

Anything with this in the article should always be taken with a massive grain of salt. It’s typically the sports journalism equivalent to “my cousin said…..”.

Saban has a kush job, and a beautiful new home overlooking the Atlantic.

That article is insane. The person who is quoted didn't even predict what the title of the article says

“While college football programs don’t fire head coaches as fast as they do in the NFL, they aren’t far off. It seems like four years is the amount of time major schools give a coach to turn their football teams into playoff contenders. That means the pressure will be on Florida Gators coach Billy Napier in 2025. If he can’t take another step forward this year, the idea of replacing him with Nick Saban could be an idea too good for Florida decision-makers to turn down,” Burgos wrote.

I would rather read something AI generated than this BS attempt at journalism. Dude is clearly chasing clicks with a title that is completely fabricated. Yeah of course Florida would want to replace Napier with Saban, but there is no shred of evidence to suggest that it will happen. Printing an article with the title:

Florida football predicted to part ways with Billy Napier for legendary 6-time Alabama champion​

is absolutely ridiculous.

Well last year they were a disaster beginning of the year and rolling at the end of season so..

Right off the bat, Florida cant afford Saban.

Saban would go straight into an OSU type BC ratio scenario. I dont see him wanting to assemble a staff, at this point.
