The Billy Napier era is over in Gainesville after the coach produced a 22-23 record as Florida Gators football coach. Keith Niebuhr, Zach Abolverdi and Blake Alderman of Gators Online discussed this major development Sunday afternoon during a special edition of the Gators Online Show.

Ultimately, Napier simply didn’t win enough games. In SEC contests, he went 12-16. He was 3-12 against UF’s primary rivals. The Gators were 5-17 vs. ranked teams on his watch and did not beat a single one of them away from the Swamp.

Now, the search is on for UF to find the next football coach.

Sunday, the Gators Online crew not only talked at length about what led to Napier’s firing, but where UF goes from here and who some notable candidates are. Additionally, we dug deep into the Gators’ recruiting under Napier, and his use of the transfer portal.
