One bad thing was Florida's schedule. I think they played eight ranked teams and five were in the top ten at some point.

He's done there. They can't fire him until the end of the season, they need coaches available.

I think Kiffin takes it. But when DoBoer gets fired in a couple of years from Alabama, Kiffin jumps from Florida to Alabama.

Billy Napier to continue coaching Florida football, AD says​

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

Translation= we're not firing him because we don't have another coach lined up to replace him. But we're looking.

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!

Seriously? A fan’s opinion on a message board impacts a team’s performance & outcome of a game?

To be fair, as upset as some of our fans on this message act when he posts stuff like this, its like it does make an impact. It's just his opinion and some people seem mad and are telling him to shut up like it's actually making s difference on the field. Lol.

If this “vote of confidence” doesn’t hold true, the cost for Lane just went up

Wait…we have to play against Florida? Holy hell, I’m not in any kind of shape to play a football game against SEC athletes! We’re gonna get hurt! What position am I playing?!

I mean, you’re not a wuss, so you’ll be okay. But the rest of us are screwed!

Yeah my 70 yr old body can’t lay out to catch those frozen ropes like it used to.

Freeze will be the only SEC coach fired this year -- maybe Venables too

Freeze isn't going anywhere this off season.

He's gonna get just a bit more grace than Harsin.

Auburn doesn't show big progress next year and yeah he is gone.

I think the Stricklin letter supporting Napier is irrelevant and non-binding. I think it was done to try and assist with recruiting (it won’t).

I think after Napier loses two of the last three (LSU, Ole Miss, FSU), if not all of the last 3, he’ll be fired.

The "Letter" that Stricklin wrote only said that Napier would "be our coach in the future." Rather open-ended, isn't it?
