The Florida Gators’ season got off to an awful start on Saturday when they fell at home to Miami, and fans have had enough of their head coach, Billy Napier.
Napier is now in his third season with the program. He didn’t finish over .500 in his first two seasons and failed to make a bowl game last year.
The 45-year-old head coach’s hot seat was already warm coming into the season, and it just got a lot warmer Saturday evening.
The only issue is that Florida’s athletic director, Scott Stricklin, was on the Paul Finebaum show Friday afternoon and stated,” I really believe Billy Napier is going to be the coach at Florida for a long, long time.”
“I really believe Billy Napier is going to be the coach at Florida for a long, long time.”

It doesn’t sound encouraging that the Gators will make a move anytime soon, and there is a chance Napier will keep his job at the end of this season, no matter what happens.
Many Florida fans have had enough of Napier already. After Saturday’s loss to Miami, they took to social media and attacked him, calling for his job.
Florida Fans Are Calling For Billy Napier’s Job
Florida needs to fire Billy Napier at halftime
The experiment needs to end. This team is still an undisciplined mess. The play calls still make no sense. Nothing has changed whatsoever
Napier needs to go

I don’t see how Billy Napier survives another year at Florida.
I mean this is just pathetic, Year 3 and you get steamrolled by your rival at home?
The refusal to make changes to the staff after 2 bad seasons… the fans deserve better.

Billy Napier is the worst coach in modern UF history

Honestly, if Florida still had any self respect we would fire Napier after this game ends. But we don’t.
