Once a gold standard for college athletics success, Florida’s front porch became an eyesore. The woes go beyond Billy Napier. Who's going to fix this?

Athletic director Scott Stricklin recently gave Napier a ringing endorsement, indicating that he will be Florida’s head coach moving forward. During his press conference on Saturday, Napier spoke about what it meant to get that vote of confidence from Stricklin.

That set off the message board rumor mill that the word "changes" means the end of Napier as both head coach and play-caller for the Florida Gators in 2025. It could happen. But I would also respond with a quote from the esteemed Spanish philosopher George Santayana, "those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
