There was potential for Florida to make a splash on National Signing Day, but that was not the case for the Gators. The battles for the top targets left on Florida’s board went elsewhere in a disappointing finish to Billy Napier’s first recruiting class.

National Signing Day is just a couple of days away and a strong finish is in the cards for Florida.

Florida is heading into the final official visit weekend for the class of 2022 with some big recruiting battles left.

Billy Napier adds to the 2022 class with a trio of three star commits. QB Max Brown, TE Hayden Hansen and DL Andrew Savaiinaea pledge to Florida after visiting Gainesville this past weekend.

The first official visit weekend of 2022 for the Gators certainly paid off.

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes for the transition of the Gators football program under Billy Napier.

As soon as the 2021 season ended with Georgia winning the National Championship, publications started releasing “way-too-early” 2022 rankings.

As the Gators football team gets together for the first time under the Billy Napier era for offseason activities, we are still learning what players will be a part of the 2022 team. Trey Dean is staying for one more season, while Mohamoud Diabate is transferring out.

Who’s coming? Who’s going?

Look, SO much happened this year that it’s hard to believe 2021 is coming to a close. Are we still processing what went down in 2020? Absolutely. But 2022 is around the corner, and it’s time to reminisce about the year we just had.

It was quite a year in the sports world, was it not?

What a year 2021 has been.

In the last game of 2021, and under the Dan Mullen regime, Florida falls to UCF 29-17.

There’s still one more game left in the 2021 season as the Gators travel to Tampa to take on the UCF Knights on the Gasparilla Bowl.

One last game of the 2021 regular season for the Gators and it is against rival FSU. FSU has been trending up while Florida has been trending down.

One of, if not, the main issues that plagued Dan Mullen’s tenure at Florida was recruiting. That aspect was just not at a high enough level for the direction the program was heading.

As losses pile up and sitting at 5-6 after a loss to Missouri, Florida is deciding to move on from Dan Mullen.

Florida goes on the road again in their final trip of the season to take on Missouri. Road games haven’t been too kind for the Gators.

With two games left, and after a disappointing showing vs FCS Samford, Dan Mullen says the matchup vs Missouri doesn’t add any more pressure as it is always there.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a call-in style chat to discuss the shootout victory over the Samford Bulldogs.

Even with all the change this past week for the Gators, hardly anyone saw a shoot out to struggling FCS foe Samford.

Now that Todd Grantham is officially out as defensive coordinator for the Gators, it is now time to take a look at who could be next.

Some may wonder why the moves to fire defensive coordinator, Todd Grantham, and offensive line coach, John Hevesy, weren’t made sooner by Florida head coach Dan Mullen. After Florida’s performance vs South Carolina, the luxury of waiting until season’s end was no longer there.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a call-in style chat to discuss the firings of Todd Grantham and John Hevesy.

One day after Florida suffers their fifth loss of the season, Bruce Feldman (The Athletic) reports Florida is firing defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and offensive line coach John Hevesy.

Gators Breakdown listeners sound off after Florida’s 34-7 loss to Georgia.

We all knew Florida had a tough task in facing the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and their dominant defense. It didn’t matter who started at QB for Florida, the Georgia defense was just too much.

Florida (4-2) travels to Baton Rouge to face-off against a LSU Tigers team trying to find their way after a 3-3 start.

At the halfway point of the season, the Gators sit 4-2 and quarterbacks Emory Jones and Anthony Richardson are showing growth according to Dan Mullen. Heading into the two biggest tests remaining on the schedule in LSU and Georgia, Florida needs that growth to continue.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs Vanderbilt matchup.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs Kentucky matchup.

Florida and Kentucky have had some dramatic games the last few times they’ve matched-up, especially in Lexington. This year’s game looks to bring more of those moments in the series.

Gator Nation is still abuzz after Florida’s 31-29 loss to top-ranked Alabama. While there are a lot of positives Florida can take away from a close loss to Alabama last Saturday, Dan Mullen says, “We’ve got to win the game. We didn’t win the game. That’s the bottom line. There’s no moral victory.”

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs Tennessee matchup.

Florida suffers their first loss of the season 31-29 at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide. In what was labeled as a “measuring stick” game, the Gators measured up to the top-ranked team in the country.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs Alabama matchup.

The top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Gainesville to battle the Florida Gators in what can be a career-defining win for head coach Dan Mullen.

We’re hearing from Gators Breakdown listeners and their thoughts after Florida’s 42-20 win vs USF.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs USF matchup.

Florida travels to Tampa to take on the USF Bulls in what should be an easy win for the Gators. Even with a predicted blow-out win, plenty of storylines are present in the Gators’ second game of the season.

As Florida starts their preparation ahead of Saturday’s game vs USF, the conversation of QB play is already the hot topic among, and outside, of Gator Nation.

We’re hearing from Gators Breakdown listeners and their thoughts after Florida’s 35-14 win vs FAU.

The first game of the 2021 season is in the books, but it didn’t go the way many thought it would for the Gators. Quarterback Emory Jones didn’t have the best performance in his first start, while backup Anthony Richardson electrified the crowd with some nice running plays.

Florida’s first opponent of the season will be an experienced one. The FAU Owls will roll into Gainesville Saturday night to take on the Gators with many returning starters on both sides of the ball.

It’s been a secretive spring and fall, but it’s finally game week for the 2021 Gators!

The Gators have reached the final week of fall camp and held the team’s final scrimmage this past Sunday in prep for the 2021 season.

There’s going to be change in Florida’s offense for the 2021 season. After a couple of seasons relying on the passing attack to carry that side of the ball, reverting back to a run approach means more of an emphasis on an aspect that has struggled in those same seasons.

Florida definitely has no shortage of running backs heading into the 2021 season, but in order to get on the field, the coaches are looking for more than just running the ball.

Florida head coach Dan Mullen doesn’t shy away from saying he has two capable QBs in leading the Florida offense in 2021. It’s Emory Jones’ job, but Mullen praises Anthony Richardson and his performance in the team’s latest scrimmage.

The trend from spring football continues into the first scrimmage of fall camp. The Florida defense showed up and showed out in the team’s first fall scrimmage of the 2021 season.

The first week of 2021 fall camp is coming to a close for the Gators and the week is ending with the unfortunate news of CB Jaydon Hill tearing his ACL.

Christian Robinson says “versatility” is what he look for in a linebacker for the University. In today’s college football, players need to be able to adapt to what opposing offenses are doing without coming off the field.

It’s finally Emory Jones turn to lead the Gators offense. While he admits he didn’t think it would take this long, Jones is ready.
