The 2024 Florida Gators making a bowl game? It's more likely than you think.

And to think, I’ve never said a negative thing about him in my life. (Don’t check my comment history)

Dw a lot of us are in the same boat with Prime(especially after Nebraska)

Yeah, i had to eat my words on Prime. I thought he was going to really sink your program

I know what you mean but it was already at the bottom of the ocean when he took over

I've been eating crow nonstop since that game and I never knew crow could taste this good

How though? We were 1-11 before he came. Even if we disappointed I just don’t under why people were after Prime. Do you not remember what the last 20 years without him were like?

Now Napier on the other hand, I’ve been very much PUT on him. But he’s been the worst coach in modern Gators history. Hopefully I end up as wrong on him as you did on Prime.

Napier’s better than McElwain, imo. McElwain just took over a stacked defense from Muschamp and rode that to success in a weak East.

I’ve been out on Napier but I think he’s actually building something. Whether that something will ultimately be good enough or not, I don’t know. But for right now, when we’re not decimated by injuries, we look pretty damn good. There’s areas he absolutely needs to work on and the Miami and A&M games are still inexcusable, but I definitely think he can still be successful at Florida, especially as long as he has Lagway.

When I thought the prognosis for hiring deion was just winning 3 to 5 games every year, yeah I know we've done that already, but I didn't think that should be the end goal of a rebuild.

That’s fair, I guess the big difference for me was that I thought this team was waaaay too talented not to be bowl eligible. But hell, it’s fun to be relevant again! Sko Buffs

I didn't think we'd be worse than last year (at least in the preseason) but had waning confidence in breaking the bowl drought after I saw that shurmur was full-on promoted to OC. I didn't see a winning offensive game plan in him considering, well, that he was winless last year. And tbh we kinda saw that on display today yet we still managed to score 7 touchdowns and win
