Florida’s Napier is fighting for his job but it may not matter

Billy Napier is literally fighting for his coaching life with the Florida Gators, but he very well may be fighting a losing cause.

Statements like that could have been avoided by Napier had he had his Gators ready to defend their home turf and beat a then-unranked South Florida on Saturday.

The Gators were bullied and beaten up by the Bulls, though, who won the game, 18-16.

USF is now a ranked college football team, and the Gators have lost their ranking after heading into this season with plenty of high hopes and expectations.

Napier and the Gators came into 2025 with promise 

Napier came into the 2024 season facing pressure after a 5-7 2023 campaign, but got the Gators rolling at the end of the campaign and finished with four straight wins. That included wins over No. 22 LSU and No. 9 Ole Miss in back-to-back weekends, as well as blowouts of Florida State and Tulane  in the Gasparilla Bowl.

That finish, plus the emergence of what appeared to be a young star quarterback in DJ Lagway, earned Napier a ton of goodwill heading into 2025, but that has all been squandered by the loss to USF.

Still, in a recent SEC teleconference call, Napier did his best to defend the program he’s put together in Florida.

That progress just doesn’t go away, right? That’s how he sees it, at least.

“Everything that’s been built here didn’t all of a sudden just disappear. Okay? We didn’t perform to the best of our ability. The ball didn’t bounce our way on a few things. But there’s been a ton of investment put into the people on our team within the organization. Those things do exist,” Napier said, according to Dan Morrison of On3. “If you’ve been doing this the right way, you’ve developed some intangibles to prepare for these types of moments.”

The intangibles Napier mentioned include the ability to bounce back. Florida did show at the end of the 2024 season that it had that capability, but things aren’t looking too good for the Gators at the present moment. 

The rest of Florida’s 2025 schedule is brutal 

For as much fight as Napier is showing, he can do little about the gauntlet of games coming up for the Gators.

Florida’s remaining schedule features eight teams that are currently ranked.

Games against Mississippi State and at Kentucky are the only two unranked matchups as it currently stands, but even those will be tough contests. Mississippi State just beat then-No. 12 Arizona State, 24-20, and Kentucky gave Ole Miss everything it could handle this past weekend.

A great coach would struggle against that schedule. Heck, Nick Saban would have a hard time getting out of that unscathed. 

The problem for Florida is this: Napier has proven to be anything but a great coach.

He probably deserves to fight for his job based on how last season ended, but this thin ice he’s on in Gainesville is almost assured to break sooner rather than later.
