Sounds like the end may be very near for Billy Napier. Nice guy ( Gonna be a rich guy with his 26.7 Million Dollar buyout ) but, he can’t coach worth a lick at this level. But, Mike Norvell shows you that you can be a Hero one day and a Goat the next.

It appears Billy Napier’s time as the head coach of the Florida Gators is coming to an end.

After Florida’s embarrassing 33-20 defeat to Texas A&M on Saturday — a game in which loud audible “fire Billy” chants could be heard in the second quarter — it seems fans are going to get their wish.

On3 reported that the University of Florida Board of Trustees has called a meeting for Sunday morning, and that coupled with the fact that Florida boosters have come up with the money to pay Napier’s buyout according to Matt Hayes of USA Today, could mean the 45-year-old coach might be looking for a new job as early as Sunday afternoon.

Am I still an idiot if I mention Lane?

I think he’s a good guy who cares about the people around him. Just not a good head coach. Because I don’t believe firing him this week vs after our game next week makes any difference for the coach search, I would give him 1 more game but I get those who just want him gone.

But if this is end I wish him the best. He deserves to be fired but IMO he deserves to be treated with respect because he is an honorable man.

Remember how it was great that we got rid of Spencer and Bateman and Raymond? And how the guys nobody heard of that replaced them were killing it!

Well, we just got absolutely smoked by two of our former coaches.

vs FBS opponents in '24:

16 possessions, 67 points allowed.

Miami
TD, INT, FG, TD, punt, TD, TD, TD, miss FG, punt, FG

Today thru 38 mins
FG, TD, FG, TD, TD, punt

(EDIT: 17th possession -- Miami end-of-game -- not included.)

Regardless, of who plays quarterback, I think the biggest failure of Napier is his inability to develop lines of scrimmage in year three

Head Coach Records:

Hired by Stricklin: 86-398 (0 Natties)

Hired by Foley: 390-38 (18 Natties)

Saw on Facebook so figured it was legit

By everyone involved!

This weekend is one of my favorites of the year—fall is here, and Gator Football is back tomorrow! I sent my three kids off to elementary school this morning, all decked out in their Gator gear. As passionate Gator fans, let's remember that no matter what happens tomorrow or throughout the season, it's football season, and we've been waiting for this moment for months. Let's keep in mind how much we love this school and this sport.

Here's to hoping we take down the Canes tomorrow! No matter the outcome, I'm committed to staying positive this season and enjoying the journey back to the top. At 37 years old, I've had the privilege of witnessing all three of our national championship games. Despite some recent tough years, we've been one of the premier programs in the country over the last 30 years, and I believe we'll be back on top again soon.

Cheers to all of you! Go Gators—let's enjoy this season and this team!

Perfect time..we need each other.

Even if we only get 3 years we erase 15 years of futility.

Do what has to be done.

I opened my Pappy 12 year to watch some more football after driving back to Orlando...obviously not in celebration...but I needed something to make me feel better...I decided on Pappy and a maduro Padron. Just trying to mix it up from the disaster we have...anybody got a drink on tonight worth sharing?

He knows it’s over, that’s my take.

I much prefer FSU to play after Florida, so I know what to root for. I think Florida is going to win today. So while I want FSU to lose, I also want to be able to enjoy my day and the game, which will be difficult if FSU loses.

That being said, if Florida loses, then I want to share my misery.

Tough spot right now.

All of the losing coaches we have hired of late, did one thing in common. The new coach brought his previous staff with them, versus thinking about the task at hand, and hiring coaches with experience in the SEC, or coaches with proven records. This is something I think has been many of their downfalls. Bringing a staff that's not on a level as the SEC, does anyone have this same feeling especially on defense?

Not even worth the energy.

for fewest offensive plays run in a regulation game?

A&M has had the ball the entire game. Despite all the lows of late, I dont recall ever experiencing dominance like this. Ever!

Meyer, Kiffin, Lanning or Fisch…then who would/should be our next coach?

Jason, no pressure my friend, but, what say you? Rudner stepped way out there with his opinion. Convincingly! I’ll wait until I read you and then make up my mind. Maybe. In the mean time, ugh.

Is there any way he survives the weekend?

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a coach getting canned in week three, but this A&M team has lost 10 straight road games and is boat racing us.

Honest question, he’s clearly getting fired, but what are the pros of keeping him through the season vs. firing him so early?

So as most of you know I am usually quite positive & give the coaches the benefit of doubt as much as possible. In basketball, I'll post some things I see that the staff can clean up but I usually keep things rather positive for the most part. Unfortunately, this post ain't it. This was my first game of the season at Ben Hill and that is the worst UF team I have ever seen with my own eyes. There is no identity on offense and watching I'm not quite sure what they are trying to establish. Defensively it's even worse....they can't stop a not great offensive team in A&M. From the moment their offense stepped on the field you knew what they wanted to do...run the ball & pound it down UF's throat. That is exactly what they did up & down the field. UF still can get off the field on 3rd downs (multiple 3rd & longs in the first half) and A&M was able to get 1st downs at will either from a big play or a bad penalty. This is just a bad team, and it's perplexing, in that, Napier's teams have gotten worse over the past 3 years and really the line of scrimmage play is to blame.....it's just terrible. There really is no positives to take out of this one at all and that is sad. The only thing I know is something needs to change & quick.....losing has sucked the life out of The Swamp.

And you're welcome @JasonHigdon I used a prefix (this is the only joke I can make right now)
