Deleted Florida tweet from last week looks even more ridiculous now

Remember last week when Florida beat Texas and Billy Napier's staff couldn't wait to run its mouth?

Hail Florida Hail remembers.

If you are out of the loop, Florida GM Jacob LaFrance tweeted out after the win last week "Sun Belt Billy and the boys..." as a shot at anyone who has dared to question Billy Napier.

LaFrance has since deleted the tweet, and Florida proved against Texas A&M what made the tweet ridiculous to begin with.

Florida loses to Texas A&M

We said last week that LaFrance's tweet was emblematic of this entire Billy Napier Era:

A staff that buries its head in the sand as things go south, and then wants its flowers the instant something goes right.

Saturday night in College Station was a perfect encapsulation of why Sun Belt Billy is 21-23 during his time in Gainesville.

After the initial scripted drive, Florida's offense has zero answers for the relatively simple questions Texas A&M was asking. Worse, Florida at times didn't seem interested in even trying to answer those questions.

The sequence going into halftime, when Napier intentionally ran 35 seconds off the clock while at midfield, was the type of clock management that would get him fired in the Sun Belt.

And it's why Florida has an offense loaded with five stars, but an offensive coordinator who makes them look like walk-ons.

What's great about LaFrance's tweet is that he hadn't tweeted for a month prior to his attempted troll job last week. And as has been the case for this entire staff, we're sure he will go silent again this week and then conveniently pop up if Florida manages to beat Mississippi State.

Napier frequently talks about the need to block outside noise, yet his entire staff is constantly hyper-aware of it.

What's comical is that they don't seem to have any interest in doing anything to fix it.
