Lots of gems in here. My personal favorite:
"It's also fascinating when Napier has spent the last two years meticulously crafting the locker room, taking a snail's pace approach in the transfer portal because he wants to make sure guys are the right fit, to turn around and explore bringing on a player who seemingly goes against what he has tried to build."
It is "fascinating" to watch the sunshine pumpers continue to pretend this is all part of some master plan. Evidently only productive players who are good enough to have better options playing for a real coach and program (sad but true, right now CWT obviously doesn't meet that criterion and with the damage that Gator Nation has allowed the DDD to do neither does the program) need to be weeded out as CWT "meticulously crafts the locker room."
Of the many bad looks that our current regime, program, media, and significant portion of the fanbase put out into the universe the whole "that guy has a bad attitude" thing may be the worst. It makes us a joke in the eyes of NFL people (when Princely goes in the first round next year multiple teams will have debunked the "he takes plays off" myth), burns bridges with high school coaches, gives ammunition to rival coaches for negative recruiting, and alienates just about everybody in the blue chip community which is close-knit and/or incestuous depending on your take.
No successful staff/coach does that, they go out of their way to do the opposite. That's why Proctor is heading back to Bama to start at LT for 2 years before becoming a first round draft pick. It's why Deion despite McClain having a clear attitude and performance problem was accountable and said "I hope he finds someone who can help him bring out his potential because he's a talented kid. I'm sorry I wasn't that coach and we weren't that staff."
People forget, but Princely gave an interview where he was complimentary of Napier and how much he cares about his players when he first left. Fast forward a couple months where Gator Nation has been saying he took plays off and didn't work and crickets from the coaching staff as far as refuting those rumors. Considering there's millions of dollars on the line can you really blame the kid for speaking what is probably the truth about how he wasn't coached on the complexities of coverage? I certainly don't.
Like everything else, I've heard a lot of talk about how accountable and big picture thinking Napier is. I have seen the exact opposite.
