Napier and Norvell

Norvell is an interesting issue. Does he get fired for having an 0-3 start after having an undefeated season last year?

Napier won’t survive the year. Will he even be the coach by the time UK plays Florida?

I don't see him making it through the season, don't know when but he has to be 4-1 heading into last 7 games. Don't see that happening. Thought they would go 0-7 last 7 games, but FSU looks like a JUCO team.

I’m still not convinced that Norvell is on the hot seat coming off 13-1, but he sure has lost all his momentum in a hurry because they’re looking at a really ugly season after losing again today. If next year isn’t any better, then I think he feels some pressure.

Napier looks increasingly unlikely to survive the year. I’ll agree with that part.
 
I mean how many teams in CF history have been preseason AP top 10 only to lose their first 3 games and start 0-3?

Im guessing Florida State is the only one.

All to unranked teams, at least at the time of the games, and 2 at home and 1 on a neutral field.

FSU may only win 2-3 games all season and were preseason top 10?

WTF?

FSU has started 0-3 just 3 times in the last 50 yrs, 1976 in Bowdens 1st season, Norvell twice (2021 and 2024).

No way he survives this season.

The goose is cooked.

I'm sure they are because you usually play at least one cupcake the first 3 games. They did play 2 conference foes and a solid Memphis team but still. Pathetic. I love it though. Hate fsu.

They had this stat on tv earlier. There are 6 teams to accomplish this feat.

Norvell will get another year because of last year. But, I agree with the above poster about losing momentum in a hurry. They started 13-0 last year and have now lost 5 or 6 games in a row! Big Mo is a real thing.

Getting a very bad QB in the portal is another real back breaker!
 
DYK: TAM QB Marcel Reed held a UK offer in HS? He's from Nashville, was once committed to Ole Miss. Pretty sure Wolford was primary recruiter, don't think he ever visited UK.
