I really don’t remember what happened when Dan Mullen got fired, but I read he was 31-9 and Napier is 20-20.

Wow.
Mullen went 10-3, 11-2, and 8-4 in his 1st 3 years. He then started the 2021 season 3-1, with a 2-point loss to Bama in the Swamp as the blemish, and ranked #10. The Gators then lost to Kentucky, 20-13, beat Vanderbilt 42-0, lost to LSU 49-42, lost to Georgia 41-7, lost to USC-E 40-17, beat Samford 70-52, lost to Mizzou 24-23, reaching a 5-6 record. He was fired at that point. Interim coach Greg Knox beat FSU 24-21, but lost to UCF 29-17 in the Gasparilla Bowl.

So his record at Florida was 34-15.

I'm guessing USF is a credible team, now with confidence, and probably a light schedule, so they could well end the season ranked.

South Florida Bulls 2025 Regular Season NCAAF Schedule - ESPN

The do face Miami next, but could win out, but 9-3 or 10-2 is plausible, I suspect.

That doesn't do much to mitigate UF's situation.
A bit of South Florida Bulls trivia: The USF football program was started under the leadership of then-Assistant Athletic Director (and then Athletic Director) Lee Roy Selmon, one of the all-time great defensive tackles at OU and at Tampa Bay, and member of the NFL HoF.

Texas should feel free to get on a horse with no name and wander through that desert again. Somebody could write a song about it.
Sooners are similar to Ohio State in that there haven't been too many horrible coaches and down periods over the years, at least not since the 50s.

Sure there was Schnelly and Blake but that was quite brief and the turnaround to Stoops was quick and highly successful.  Then a very smooth transition to Muleshoe who, regardless of how you feel about him now, was still a successful handoff and quite frustrating to Texas fans.

So I guess what I'm saying is, if we're wishing anyone to wander in the desert, it's definitely YOUR team. :)

Also, can the rest of college football ever get a break from Ohio State? Good lord their consistency is irritating.

I didn't realize at the time that the John Cooper era as their down years.  Good Lord.

Yeah, we haven't had many terrible periods since Bud Wilkinson arrived in Norman. We had a 3-7 season in 1965 under Gomer Jones, John Blake's three losing seasons (1996-98) and Brent Venables' two losing seasons (2022, 2024).

But, still, I wish your team to discover all the philosophical insight and moral uprightness that can be found by emulating John the Baptist. Wander that desert!

It would be nice. The Buckeyes had a 6-7 season in 2011. Before that, their most recent losing season was 4-6-1 in 1988. That is some run of consistent success.
