That’s why I said next year, not this one. He’ll go into 2025 with experience, having already taken lumps that Nico had not taken heading into this year.
Lagway was the #1 QB recruit in the 2024 class for a reason. He’s oozing raw talent. It won’t be so raw next year.
Yep. Writing is on the wall. After they lose the next 3 they’ll pull the plug.Here's the letter. He'll be gone soon. That's how this usually goes:
Gator Nation,
I wanted to let you know that Billy Napier will continue as head football coach of the Florida Gators.
As we’ve seen these past several weeks, the young men on this team represent what it means to be a Gator. Their resolve, effort and execution are evident in their performance and growth each week – building a foundation that promises greater success next season and beyond.
UF’s commitment to excellence and a championship-caliber program is unwavering. In these times of change across college athletics, we are dedicated to a disciplined, stable approach that is focused on long-term, sustained success for Gator athletes, recruits and fans.
I am confident that Billy will meet the challenges and opportunities ahead. We will work alongside him to support any changes needed to elevate Gator football. As college athletics evolves, UF is committed to embracing innovation and strategy, ensuring the Gators thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
Gator Nation has remained strong, showing up game after game to stand with our team. This loyalty creates an incredible environment that inspires our players to compete with heart and determination. Now, I call on all of Gator Nation to continue standing behind Billy and his dedicated team while we work together to build a championship program.
Go Gators!
Scott Stricklin
Athletics Director
Your lack of intelligence is concerning. Research the history of TN vs Florida from 1992 present. TN has won only twice in the Swamp in that time frame - 2001 and 2003.I am counting it as a W cause I ain't a wuss. Scared fans like you make no sense to me.
Lies all lies!Now if he can just get an extension

Billy Napier will continue to coach Florida, according to athletic director Scott Stricklin, who put to rest rampant speculation about the embattled coach's future with the Gators.
In a letter Thursday, Stricklin stressed the need for a "disciplined, stable approach" and asked Florida fans to "continue standing behind Billy and his dedicated team while we work together to build a championship program
Loser mentality. That sort of mindset guarantees you'll never beat Florida.

We rarely play well vs. Florida, inc. this yr.
Seriously? A fan’s opinion on a message board impacts a team’s performance & outcome of a game?And your lack of confidence is why we'll continue to lose. The players and coaches play tight against Florida because of negative energy from fans like you. If you want us to finally beat them in Gainesville exude some confidence.
I don’t know about that.And your lack of confidence is why we'll continue to lose. The players and coaches play tight against Florida because of negative energy from fans like you. If you want us to finally beat them in Gainesville exude some confidence.
This is as dumb as you saying a players looks has something to do with their success on the field. If our players and coaches are so fickle and weak willed that negative energy from the fans affect their on field play then that’s pathetic.And your lack of confidence is why we'll continue to lose. The players and coaches play tight against Florida because of negative energy from fans like you. If you want us to finally beat them in Gainesville exude some confidence.
No. He's already admitted he's a fair weather fan. His sunshine pumping I don't care about, it's him openly admitting he's the worst kinda fan, that I can't stand.lol. You think a fans mindset has anything to do with the actual game? Laughable. Do you even remember the last time we beat UF in Gainesville?
