Florida Gators Legends to the Rescue: Contingency Plans for Life After Billy Napier
GatorBait has learned Spurrier and Meyer, while supporting Napier and his current program, have indicated a willingness to do “anything to help” — including working in an advisory capacity if and when called upon during the transition.
Standing at the podium for his Wednesday night midweek press conference, Billy Napier looked nothing like a football coach under siege. He answered questions as he normally does in an low, unemotional voice and while he spoke a lot of words, he really didn’t say much at all.
It has been this way since he arrived from Louisiana in December of 2021. Win or lose, play well or badly, Napier taps the fingers on his left hand against the podium rarely offering a glimpse of what’s going on inside. Judging by Florida’s losses to Miami and Texas A&M, Napier’s……..click the link below to read the rest of Franz Beard’s article👇👇👇

Great work fellas! Ole yella 😂😂😂😂
What coach wants to come to a program and have two bosses, the A.D. and the general manager looking over the shoulders, screw that….. Kiffin would give the gators a finger. I’m the fucking general manager he would say and the coach go scratch and pound sand.
Unfortunately, the next coach is going to ask for a 5 year non cancellable coaching contract with huge pay… otherwise, given UF's MO over the last 15 years, who wants to touch this job?
Got my paper bag ready LOL
IF Spurrier and Meyer are called to duty what would their titles be and what exactly would be their roles?
Those two coaches would be awesome….Spurrier as AD and Meyer HC. Then let those two find our next coach….Lane
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FLORIDA DOESNT BRING HOME KERWIN BELL, TO AT LEAST COACH OFFENSE, MAYBE SEE HOW IT GOES LEADING A TEAM, TO ME HE'D BE THE NEXT STEVE SPURRIER.
Or maybe have them on the selection committee….
This is a for profit business we’re talking about. I’ve been dying to see Urban in a PR type role where he can do what he does best. Talk and sell. He’ll assure everyone the program is still elite and we’re on our way back. His presence alone says that. He can convince recruits (and their families), portal players of value, boosters and ESPN that Florida is on the fast track to being a consistent playoff team. Then once Kiffin is hired he can act as a buffer between Kiffin and the administration , ensuring LKs autonomy and happiness.
I have been saying this for over a decade It isn't just the coaches to blame matter. Of fact, I don't blame coach
Bill O'Brien will be offered next year
Halftime thoughts today. Our defense is horrific. Real teams are going to put up 70. In the first half. Need to remove everyone responsible for this soft, slow, weak ass non tackling team. So many soft players out there. Unwatchable. Hoping we get the win, but unable to stomach watching that defense.
GM idea is not a good one. Only one person or one entity is in charge. Napier has players loafing, no accountability, and the next week he makes them a team captain. Players don't respect that. That's toxic for the program. He has to go. If you bring in a GM, you take down his respectability even more. Fire him now. Put someone in charge. Throw the bank at a legend that steps in now, or an interim who is a legend and can set things up for another hire like Lane or someone else. Fuchs has to go and Stricklin too. This is a state university that is floundering under poor leadership and absent leadership. Gov DeSantis should step in and accelerate all of these moves, especially univ pres.
"CLICK BAIT" This show is trash!
Scott Stricklin had a chance to hire Lane Kiffin. Scott Stricklin allowed his personal feelings to overshadow what was best for UF. How can the UF Fans ever trust him again. Fire Scott Stricklin hire a Gator to be the AD.
Forget Spurrier and Meyer as Co-GM’s. But DO include them in the new coach search.
what have you guys been smoking? get me some of that!
YOU GUYS ARE DESPERATE TO BA A ALABAMA OR GEORGIA!
And that's what I been saying for years, clean house from top to bottom then make moves! Plus you need more true Gator blood running through the program!
And maybe interview Mark Robinson for AD who Georgia stole from us? 🤷
Or the young one up at Kansas or somebody's good deputy AD?
Spurrier and Meyer aren't going to get involved in this dumpster fire
This Franz beard guy doesn't know nothing
Florida needs football people to find the next coach. Having them advise is a great idea

This would be a great thing I think!!! Gator legends helping the current players would be what it’s supposed to be anyway!! Go gators!!!
UFAA was set up for students athletes and keeping the boosters separate as possible made sense and the right thing to do. Now that it is NFL Lite the boosters have to have much closer activity.
First fire the AD. Shut Dooley up as well. Nick Saban has it right.
Stricklin and Admin have failed Gator nation.. If Spurrier and Meyer offer their help, you say YES!
HELL NO thats just more like the nfl nfl sucks
urban Meyer don't give a shit about Florida
Wait a minute. Who cares about the win yesterday. If they win….their the 2nd worst team in the SEC. If they lost they would be 16. UF finished 3-9. Don't forget that Sunbelt Billy CANNOT COACH. Get Chucky or Lane now. Fix the program NOW. My GOD. It is the best place to play.
Stricklin was saved by GOLDEN. He has done a great job.
Thanks!
Saban was right with his comments on game day yesterday. It’s more like than the coach. We change in the UAA!!
More wrong than the coach!!
