No matter how much I want him to be Napier 2.0 and for Florida to fail miserably. I don’t think that will be the case this time.

I believe we got the better coach and will do better overall and likely beat them more often than not.

But Sumrall is a good coach.
His staff is shaping up well and quickly.

I’m sure I’ll get down voted. So here is an extra one so y’all can do it twice.

So he got some coaches.

He's not Napier, but who knows if he will have success there. I don't think anyone is assuming much either way.

We'll only play them once in a blue moon in the regular season anyway.

Billy was always a fraud

I think Sumrall is a better coach…but UF has been burning through coaches for a while now. So either they suck at making hires or they have deeper issues. Is Sumrall good enough to overcome all of that ?

I’m not shitting on Sumrall, but you really have no idea what he will do? His college record is not much different than Napier. It’s not to say he isn’t a better coach, but he has a lot to prove. He doesn’t really have a track record of being able to take care of one side of the ball. He’s been a Co-defensive coordinator a couple of times. He’s going to have to hit on every coordinator hire every time he hires one. Tulane to Florida is a massive jump. This is grown man football now.

Napier had a great record prior to Florida. The problem was that Napier is a total dumbass and it’s very obvious when he opens his mouth. I still think Sun Belt to SEC is too big of a jump for anyone to succeed in the short term but Sumrall is a very competent person

I mean most everyone have considered Florida the second best hire this week so I’m not sure he is exactly being underrated here.
