More than $7 million per year.
Losing record thru first two seasons
UF most likely missing a bowl game (ouch).

Of course no one can compare with Jimbo’s ridiculous buyout but in terms of an overhyped coach getting paid millions and doing no better (in fact worse) than any of his predecessors…is Sunbelt Billy the new Jimbo?

Looking like the next Ron Zook at this point.

He needs more time to get it done.

Did Florida lock him in with a guaranteed 70 million buyout?

Napier never had the shine Jimbo did.

Has he even recruited well enough to be the next Ron Zook?

He's getting at least one more year (although he might get axed in October just like Zook).

Napier is exactly what objective people predicted.

What’s happening at Florida is no surprise.

I’m m just glad people at LSU didnt listen to the idiots and hire him to replace O

They paid 7m for a guy who looks like a moldy eraser.

No. Napier was perceived as an up and comer who may or may not pan out. Jimbo is a fraud and a grifter who grifted A&M out of $100 million.

He seems to be safe. He hasn't done anything to save his job as they still haven't made any improvement.

That was 100% on A&M for only focusing on when JW was at FSU. It's like someone paying Chizik a fortune after Auburn just because the one year with Cam.

Their AD should have focused on his performance without JW.

Am I the only one who watches Florida play and thinks “This is a better product than what Dan Mullen gave?”

Probably true but also Bryan Kelly is doing what objective people predicted.

This 5-7 season was way better than Mullens 6-6 season.

That 6-6 season had tons of experienced talent and he just didn't give a shite. This year was mostly fr and so and transfer QB everyone thought would suck playing everyone hard.

There's reason to see some positivity and uf will be a much better team next year but it's Napier's gameday coaching and lack of adjustments that are the major concern.
