Breaking news; How Florida football coach Billy Napier operates with the Grim reaper hovering……..

Florida football’s head coach might not be on the sidelines much longer if recent reports are correct.

Following a home loss to the Texas A&M Aggies in the SEC opener on Saturday, it is becoming more apparent that Billy Napier’s job is in significant peril. The Gators have struggled under the third-year skipper during his tenure and are now on a trajectory for a fourth-straight losing season.

Let us not even talk about how long it has been since that happened in Gainesville.

USA TODAY Sports writer Matt Hayes broke down the situation in his Four Downs and a Bracket feature on Sunday, with Napier and Co. taking the first down position under the title, “The Billy Napier experiment is over.”

“A group of Florida boosters have pulled together money to cover the expense of firing coach Billy Napier, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports,” Hayes begins.

“The two spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the process, which will begin when interim Florida president Kent Fuchs makes an official decision. The only variable is when,” he continues.

“If Florida fires Napier, he will be owed approximately $26 million in buyout money. But that number could be mitigated because Florida is currently being investigated by the NCAA for its recruitment – and Napier’s role in the recruitment –of former high school recruit Jaden Rashada.”
