"Billy is a man of substance. He's a leader of substance. He is very methodical, which probably, long term, is going to be really good for Florida and for our football program because he's not gonna cut a corner, he's not gonna take a shortcut. He's gonna build a really, really solid foundation. And he's gonna get this thing going to be at the level that all Gators want it to be at, which is competing for championships, playing in meaningful postseason games. Once he gets it to that point, it's gonna stay at that point.
I see the steps he's taken, the caliber of young people he's brought in. He's improved the roster, he's improved the overall structure of the team. I think we have been patient as a university. That patience is gonna be rewarded. I really believe Billy Napier's gonna be the head coach at Florida for a long, long time."
