In trashing Napier and the Gators, the author finds an interesting (and rare) comparison, one that might have been more accurate if it also described the prior 40 years of each Coach’s respective football program:
“I’m trying to brainstorm active coaches who started 11-15 and went on to enjoy long, productive tenures. Kentucky’s Mark Stoops comes to mind. Stoops won nine of his first 26 games before settling in.
When Florida hired Napier, Gators fans weren’t hoping for another Stoops. And Napier isn’t Stoops. His Gators don’t play half the defense Kentucky does.”

Billy Napier gave a harsh verdict of Florida football's performance against Miami. Is the UF administration listening?
