Will he be out after two seasons?

Tonight? No. The whole season? Yes.

It’s a bad look for sure, but maybe UF is a perennial <= 8 win team for the foreseeable future

He's gonna end up just like the last 2 UL-L coaches, a linebacker coach at Tennessee Martin or a Baptist preacher.

Depends on his relationship with the donors. He’s recruiting better than Mullen (I do believe Florida can do better), but back to back losing seasons will likely cost him.
He’s in a no win situation. He needs to win now, but he doesn’t have the talent.

Tonight?
No, it's just one game.
This board will overreact to the results tonight and tomorrow and will have forgotten about it come Monday.

Napier will get at least 3 seasons unless the wheels start to come off this year. I wish he was able to convince a better portal QB to come...

Napier is a good coach.
I think he wins tonight.
Bad team or not, a good coach will have a plan after a long offseason.
Will he have a well repped plan against Tennessee? @kentucky? Against Vandy?
It will depend upon if they can find their identity.

With Utah starting quarterback and the backup quarterback out for this game then I would be worried if Florida somehow loses this game, then Billy will be on a hot seat for sure.

No, he has more buy in from the fans than I think some realize. That can change in a hurry, but it's hard to foresee a scenario at this point he is not given at least 3 years.

He won't get fired this year. He has a strong recruiting class in the works.

He had the #4 pick playing QB last year and did squat with him. Even putting aside the team results the player was not that good. Yet the NFL looks at him and says that’s a top end first rounder. It’s an indictment on the coaching.

They are in good spot blue chip ratio wise. And they should have a very good defense.

They'll be selling real quick if he loses tonight

It is unbelievable to think that a loss on the road tonight against a very good Utah team who very well could three-peat in the Pac-12 would really impact his job at all. Unless they look like they don't belong on the same field as the Utes, which I do not see happening.

Yeah, the NFL never gets it wrong. Good point.
I'll say this: Napier tried to make Richardson do things he wasn't comfortable with. The guy did not look as comfortable when he had to turn his back to the defense. Napier should have cut that shite out and moved on.

You are an idiot, this board doesn’t fire the coach. The baws in Gainesville are saying something else right now.

Lose a game we're supposed to lose on the road = off with his head!

Have you seen their schedule next season? Unless he overhauls his team in the offseason it’s going to be a tough next two years in GainsVegas
