Billy Napier’s days appear to be numbered after latest Gators debacle
Listen now
Description
It’s a matter of when not if UF decides to move on from their embattled and overmatched head coach. A 33-20 home to Texas A&M to open SEC play was more of the same for a program with seven straight losses to power conference foes and a pedestrian 10-6 on the Gators iconic home field. Napier survived to coach another week, Saturday at Mississippi State. Ron Zook’s final game as head coach was in Starkville 20 years ago. Will history repeat itself? During the latest Swamp Things, Edgar and Mark discuss whether Napier has a path out and wonder how he keeps the Gators together. How did Napier survive Black Sunday?
