Florida head coach Billy Napier is dealing with a scenario of his personal making in Gainesville that he could not be capable of crawl out of this time round.
Coming off a disappointing 18-16 loss at residence to the South Florida Bulls, Napier has advised the media that he doesn’t intend to surrender play-calling duties.
In 2024, Napier was on the new seat at Florida after his first two seasons netted the Gators an 11-14 total document. Florida began that season at 1-2 however ended on a four-game win streak that noticed the Gators beat No. 22 LSU, No. 9 Ole Miss, Florida State and Tulane within the Gasparilla Bowl to complete at 8-5.
It regarded like progress, and since former five-star quarterback DJ Lagway had been given management of the offense, there seemed to be hope for the long run.

That hope has mainly evaporated after No. 13 Florida misplaced at residence to USF, although, and that is largely as a result of Florida regarded shellshocked and unprepared for a sport USF squad that had simply taken down a previously ranked Boise State workforce.
The Gators have been horrible when it mattered most, going simply 4-of-12 on third downs. They have been undisciplined, committing 11 penalties for 103 yards, and that included this unthinkably silly flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with the sport on the road.
Napier had the Gators unprepared to play. Even Lagway regarded like a second-rate model of himself, finishing 23-of-33 passes for 222 yards, one landing and one interception.
With video games in opposition to No. 3 LSU, No. 5 Miami, No. 7 Texas and No. 16 Texas A&M all developing in a row, there’s an actual likelihood that the Gators may discover themselves at 1-5 by mid-October, after which Napier would actually be in bother.
As issues stand, no change at Florida makes it appear to be there is not any likelihood. A change would have given Napier the slightest of probabilities to outlive this stretch, as a result of even change for the sake of fixing may have been sufficient of a variable to jumpstart this workforce.
We all know who the Gators are with Napier calling the pictures, although, and it is not ok.
