Remember a place a long time ago when Florida football had a coach who stuck around for longer than five or six years?
There have only been three in UF history that have lasted double-digit years – Bob Woodruff, Ray Graves and Steve Spurrier.
And Spurrier was always flirting with the NFL.
No, we expect a little uncertainty about the head football coaches at Florida because expectations had kerosene poured on them with three national titles and Spurrier’s amazing run of six SEC titles (he counts a seventh and we should, too).
Into this walks Billy Napier with pleas of positivity to a fanbase that just wants a little normal. Sheesh, the crazy around these parts has been a decade long.
We know the fans are demanding. It’s like that old cliché where a coach says, “Nobody can put more pressure on me than myself,” and the fans say, “Hold my beer.”
Earlier, I gave you five reasons why the Gator Nation should be patient with Napier. Now, five reasons why they probably won’t be.
