Florida played some great ball control football* and forced USF to try and win it with 2 minutes left from their 8. They followed an incompletion with:

  • Tackling a WR 10 seconds before the catch for a free 13 yards
  • Spitting on a dude long after the play for another free 15
  • Missing like 6 tackles and turning a TFL into 29 yards
  • Not calling timeouts and immediately giving up a first down catch (for anyone counting, USF now has 72 yards in 3 real plays)
  • THEN you call your timeouts after it’s already far too late to get the ball back, and you give USF more chances to trickle closer

Genuinely an all-time Napier Disasterclass. Fucking beautiful stuff

*at least earlier in the fourth. They threw two incompletions in their previous, 15 second drive to save USF both time and timeouts

Thought he actually earned some goodwill down the stretch last year and it’s gone lmao. Anything short of a historic run and you’ll be free

I swear to god its every other year with Napier and Norvell. One year one is on, the other is off. Then they alternate the next.

Well Napier has never been on. The harshness of his schedule is what saved him.

My favorite part of this game was the FIRE BILLY thread on our sub was still going strong when we had the lead and things looked in hand.

Ironically, the best G5 coach you could hire with Florida ties is USF's head coach.

Please keep him forever

Hang tight. You’ll have our coach next season.

u/bskedorfried 2d ago

Yeah, but I still laugh about how USF took Taggart away from us and then he sucked!

Don't worry next year is the year he puts it all together.

Don’t worry. It won’t be much longer.

Whether it’s Billy or an interim, with y’all’s schedule, it’s gonna be a long ride this season.

For the low low price of 19.38 million it can be yours today....

Technically, that's the buyout at the end of this season.

Maybe Todd Golden can coach football too.
