We are in the era of the "conspiracy". I feel for you ppl, I really do.

I'm not a Leach fan, but I don't believe he will be fired. I don't think there's enough to justify it either. He's ok, but not great. I don't love that he's our coach, but he is, and he will be next year, unless he leaves or retires. I'll support him and the team.
Was not told about part A but part B is true .
We have boosters that have hated Leach since Cohen hired him. There was a small minority that wanted him gone after year 1.
The reason I?m very confident in my statement starting the thread is because it?s 2 different bulldog club members saying that.
Hopefully we do win the egg bowl though and it does work out.
Both of the BDC members were the ones all in on Billy Napier but of course he turned it down.
LOL, maybe those 2 should sit this one out. Most of these mid-major heroes fail at the big stage: Just in the last few years, people had high hopes for all of these coaches who went bust - Chad Morris, Justin Fuente, Bryan Harsin, Derek Dooley, Butch Jones, Willie Taggart, Scott Frost, Al Golden, Gary Andersen (twice), Mike MacIntyre (except for the one year), Bronco Mendenhall, Mike London, Randy Edsall, Tom Herman, and that's just who I thought of off the top of my head in a minute. Neal Brown and Eli Drinkwitz are headed there, with Mike Norvell and Billy Napier fairly likely going there too.
If we can hire a proven P5 head coach like Mike Gundy, then absolutely fire Leach tomorrow. But short of that, "mid major roulette" is a long shot to even get us back to the Mullen/Leach 7-5 average, much less improve on it.
what about Todd Monken? No idea if he wants to be a HC though.
In defense of Napier, it is his first year and yes he has good talent currently but his teams are putting up a fight and looking competent on the offensive side of the ball.
Ever since the Kentucky game which was game 2 for napier, his offense hasnt looked dumb and unwatchable at any point unless you consider the Georgia game, but even then its year 1 and its against UGA
He has obviously improved their recruiting over what mullen was doing and I think he will be a solid 9-10 win coach for Florida until they fire him for only winning 9 or 10 games
State made Napier so no multiple times with really good offers money wise.
Only problem was that Napier knew he could just wait for a bigger job like Florida instead of taking this. I think Napier wouldve been way better than moorhead in 2018 but he wasnt near ready for that yet.
I remember some talk also about Steve Sarkisian but he also waited out for bigger and got texas.
