I will be lifting several comments from that piece for the Napier sportswriters thread. This piece nails it - and nothing that has been suggested will happen.

Ok, I know am dating myself, and I know this is a really childish look at this, but does anyone else see major similarities between Napier and the Wizard of Oz (yes, I just watched it for the 100th time while visiting nieces and nephews)? Both portray themselves as Emperors of their grand magic kingdoms. Napier is a more congenial version up front, but in the end they both just turn into blithering idiots who's entire worlds were built on smoke and mirrors.
I dub thee, Billy Napier, Wizard of Hogtown.

Hayes is a moron but even a blind squirrel gets a nut. My question is this:
Is the new generation/breed (because it's not just an age thing) of Gator fan ignorant or soft? Everybody doesn't get a trophy, when you lose and can't recruit you get fired. It's really not that tough to follow. You should have to do both at a job like UF. The new thing is "the mean Bull Gators aren't donating money because they aren't happy with Napier. That's not fair!"
A) don't tell other people how to spend their money
B) results matter
C) Starkville Scotty is taking 750 million dollars away from NIL for a stadium renovation nobody wants except for the construction companies and sky box crew many of which are one and the same. Those Bull Gators (and I'm guessing at least 50% of Bull Gator money has some nexus to construction in the State of Florida) are donating but it's not getting to NIL and they're not going to pay double for a bottom tier SEC program.
