The Billy Napier Era actually had a pathway to be successful. He had recruited, in theory, high-end talent at skill positions on offense that could have resulted in a high-powered offense that could have gone toe-to-toe with anyone in the country.
But it turns out that when your offensive game plan is to "Ask Madden" on every play, and you outright refuse to hand over the reins to someone else, the end result is another loss that didn't have to be that way.
Florida falls to LSU after five interceptions
The national headlines from this game are going to hone in on the five interceptions DJ Lagway threw, including a back-breaking pick-six.
But what those national headlines are going to ignore is that LSU was able to read Florida like a book on offense.
Mind you, that book was "Daniel Tiger's 5 Minute Stories," but they read it.
Because at the core problem of Florida's offense on Saturday night was the fact that LSU didn't fear getting beat over the top. The Tigers sat on the slant, hitch, and in routes that Napier is notorious for running on crucial downs.
And every single time, they had an answer for the VPK level of rigor that Napier threw at them.
Florida's defense did its job on Saturday night, and the Gators should have walked out of Baton Rouge with a win.
But whether it's narcissism or ineptitude, Napier's insistence on being the offensive coordinator for the Florida Gators, despite a decade's worth of data demonstrating he's not good at it, has cost Florida yet another game.
One can point to Jadan Baugh having a long TD called back due to a questionable holding call as proof that we are being unfair to Napier.
All we know is that Billy Napier is 20-21 as head of the Florida Gators.
When you have one or two games like this go against you over four years, it's frustrating.
When it is a feature and not a bug, you become Scott Frost.
