I deleted the post. It was obvious what I said was not correct. When I stand corrected, I don't mind saying I was wrong. I did not want the original message to cause any more of an unneeded uproar. Please except my apology.

A stretch to tie that to Napier. Kitna was there when he got there.

I believe I said "not that he can control the sickening behavior of his players" so I am not blaming Napier for the behavior but, like I said, sometimes the Coach takes the blame for his players.

Fair enough, he was recruited prior to Napier but he was signed with the 2021 class under Napier. Which was Napiers first class. However, I will take your word on it. You're right not Napiers fault the kid did something sick but, unfortunately, it reflects on the program overall.

campus and redshirted during the 2021 season. Therefore he was recruited and signed by his predecessor.

You are both right and I stand corrected. I thought Napier's first year was 2021. My apologies for this mistake.

Jesus, I am not saying it is Napiers fault the kid did something sick, but sometimes the Coach takes the blame for what his players do like it or not. Again, I am not advocating Napier is responsible for the kid's behavior. I simply asked, has he lost control of his team? They did not set the World on fire this year and kids seemed to quit on him during the season.

That kid is 19 years old and made a mistake probably downloading #### from a European site to someone here in the states...not illegal over there but very bad here...football players should live in an athletic dorm with rules of behavior known...not an apartment with worthless friends where everyone can be led astray! Now a kid has to live with a dumb mistake but we make heroes out of drug pushers!

I played football but I don't remember the coach ever sitting us all down and telling us we couldn't watch kiddie ####. Guess it was kind of understood back in those days.

Several programs come to mind where it just seems like the character of players and coaches hasn’t ever really been a priority or even concern. Florida, Miami and GA are the first 3 that come to mind for me. FSU, Auburn, Louisville and Ocry0 St also make the list IMO. Sorry Bret, but I do think Norvelle is trying to change this if they will give him time.

He is suspended from the team but is allowed to continue as a student. Is that a good thing?

This is a horrible thing. I know you are innocent until proven guilty, but....

Thank you @rhettfla. This is what I was trying to say but I guess I did not say it clearly like I should have. I know nothing of this Kitna kid and maybe he had a great character up until this moment. I think you understood what I was trying to say.

Underperforming according to what set of facts? Just because a team won in the past means absolutely nothing today.

You don't think UF underperformed this year? They were expected to be a top 25 team.

Row, I don't know a lot about him, but I have heard that about him. Didn't he have some issues when he left Clemson? I remember some kind of drama between him and CU but I could be mistaken.
