When money isn't a huge issue ego comes into play and I think a lot of coaches would consider it over being known as a loser in their big job. Could have showed some goodwill to the program also accepting a lower buyout of like 10 million at the end of 2025 if he screws up 2025 also.
Ok, so ya’ll know Napier isn’t getting fired, right?!?!?

Gators Predicted to Flip Four-Star Quarterback
The Florida Gators could be on the verge of breaking a slow stretch in recruiting.
Isn't he about the same height as Treon Harris?Gators Predicted to Flip Four-Star Quarterback

May as well just put us on probation like in the 80's, it feels like it with our 60th ranked recruiting class.
What is worse is we will take a class in the 40s or 50s this year then when we fire him in October next year we will have a transition class. This is being played very poorly.
Nick Saban defends Billy Napier, says he's done 'a heck of a job' coaching Gators

That's about the most ignorant thing Saban has done or said since he chose Duante Culpeppper over Drew Brees as his QB.Nick Saban defends Billy Napier, says he's done 'a heck of a job' coaching Gators

He didn’t do that. In fact he wanted Brees and the dolphin administration said no. And thanks to that we had to deal with Bama for a decade and a half.
Perhaps the win over UK (now 3-6; probably headed for a 4-8 / 5-7 finish) was sufficient to save Napier for at least another season(?)
Stoops has a ridiculous $40+M buyout. A lot of UK fans are hoping he’ll agree to walk away after the season is over. Of course he’ll probably want to prove that he can improve on a very disappointing season (I have serious doubts that are beyond the scope of this discussion); plus our AD would most likely be inclined to cut him some slack.
Its mind blowing how ADs can handcuff a program with these kind of contracts.
That Sumrall dude looks like he'd be a great replacement for Stoops.
Jon Sumrall, that is.
Yes….. Former UK player and assistant coach; solid recruiter, he’s been a winner as a HC.
He’s clearly the top choice of many UK fans to succeed Stoops. Within the next 2-3 years if not sooner he’s likely to get a P4 HC job.
Just imagine the total meltdown for Tebow Time if/when this happens, and don't think LSU won't think twice about taking action.
Here's what I stole from another message board.
If LSU hires Kiffin before we fire Billy and hire someone else, the rage that will spew towards our administration will be deafening. LSU, USC, OU, FSU and gawd knows how many other programs next year will very well be shopping for new coaches. We don't want to be competing with that.
As for 6 wins next year, we have the exact same schedule next year, replacing UCF and Samford with USF and FAMU. It will be another 4 or 5 win season next year, if we keep Billy.

The thing is in the NIL era, if your coach doesn’t have that kind of buyout, people use it to negatively recruit you. It’s just a completely screwed up system, and UF is just eating it from every angle.
Have you seen the girls in the LSU stands? NO way he goes there and I have it on good faith only because my daughter has classes with some of the football players at Ole Miss that he has already told the team he is staying in Oxford. Whether it holds true or not we shall wait and see.
So he only goes to a school with slightly more attractive chicks just to coach football? Got it!
What kind of dumbass would say play calling is overrated?
Should Florida football coach Billy Napier hold on to play-calling? Will he have a choice?

No, I haven't seen the LSU coeds in the stands this past weekend but I've seen my share of them in a few games I attended at LSU. Just like every other campus, LSU also has their fair share of attractive college coeds.
Lane Kiffin sure as hell would leave Ole Piss for Meatchicken and LSU. I wouldn't be surprised if Lane even went back to USC if they fire Lincoln Riley.
I know it will NEVER happen but I would love to see Lane be the head coach of The Alabama Freakin Crimson Tide!!!!!!!!! Damnit boy what he could do with the talent he would get every year and let ole St. Nick know that he could win titles at BAMA also.
This has already been posted.
What is wrong with you? Whose side are you on?
If Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson tide were playing Satan and all his fallen angels with the souls of all mankind as the trophy you should be wearing red horns and waving a pitchfork.
What? The empire has fallen. Nobody outside of Alabama wants to see it resurrected.
I could see LSU going after Kiffin near the end of next season if Kelly has an underperforming year.
Those LSU fans felt the same way with Kelly's 1st season the same way we felt about Butters 1st season at UF. They had a 7 year QB winning the Heisman with 4 losses in their 2nd year.
