Among other things, I write about college football for @GatorCountry. US Navy husband.

My latest: the SEC has the deciding vote on a 24-team College Football Playoff format, and it'll be mulling it over it this week in Destin. Here's why 24 is being discussed so much and what the discussion misses: https://t.co/EtDVFGLWR0

My latest: looking back at last week's NFL Draft and ahead to the next two, Billy Napier accomplished his top task at Florida of improving the talent over Dan Mullen. It was the only important task he accomplished, but he did at least do that one.

My latest: all the usual spring game caveats apply, but the 2026 Orange and Blue Game revealed some things about how Florida will try to win football games in the fall.

My latest: There is no spring transfer portal period this year, but there's nothing stopping players from changing schools — yet. The NCAA is looking at preventing non-portal transfers, but their approach may not be the best.

My latest: Gus Malzahn's retirement was the latest in the changing of the guard. Elite coaching ranks are in the most flux they've been in since the spread revolution. Florida has an opening if Jon Sumrall is up to the task.

My latest: Indiana of all teams winning the national title after an impressive playoff run makes it seem like anything is possible in college sports now. It's true, but that includes challenges to eligibility that would change what college sports are.

My latest: Billy Napier's leadership reduced the effect of the new NIL and transfer rules on Florida football compared to a lot of the country. That fact is as gone as Napier is, and the full transfer future has finally arrived in Gainesville.

My latest: while it's true that Jadan Baugh's return is validation for Jon Sumrall, those warm feelings only last so long. Baugh being back significantly raises the floor for the offense and even aids the rebuilding of the offensive line.

My latest: it's unfortunate that DJ Lagway's UF career is ending in the transfer portal after 2 years, but it's probably for the best. What the player needs and the school wants aren't the same anymore, so it's time for a fresh start.

My latest: Florida fans were disappointed when it became clear they weren't getting Lane Kiffin. What a difference a week can make.

Jon Sumrall has hit it out of the park so far, laying a strong initial foundation and winning over a skeptical fan base: https://t.co/OIuGzxG48a

My latest: The Gators are staring down a historically bad record after a blowout loss to Tennessee. All orange and blue eyes are on Lane Kiffin, but it's best not to forget for a week that there still is a season going on.

My latest: like Wile E. Coyote, college football teams with fired coaches can defy gravity for a time before falling into the ravine. That was UF's story vs. UGA and UK. Whether they recover against Ole Miss is a strong indicator for how 2025 will end

My latest: I studied the last 30 national championships to see who wins titles and where they came from. History says UF should focus on head coaching candidates with P4/NFL experience or coordinators, not G5 up-and-comers.

My latest: Florida's football program has been behind the curve for too long in too many ways. Its next head football coaching hire must be one focused on the present and future of a college football world that has changed drastically since even Napier's hiring.

After last year's Texas A&M game, I predicted Billy Napier would get fired. After this year's, I'm calling for it. Napier's inability to produce consistent quality play and complete unwillingness to change means Florida needs to move on to a new football coach.

My latest: the next time Billy Napier beats a team with a winning record on the road will be his first, and his team travels to Kyle Field this weekend. I examined all his losses to winning teams away from home to see where the struggles have come from.

Florida will try to get back on track after an extra week of preparation as they return home to face the Texas Longhorns. Here are the keys to the game for the Gators:
