The only way for Florida to keep the good parts of its 2024 and projected 2025-2026 talent is to hire a general manager immediately! A general manager would operate the Gator football team like an NFL team and work with agents to keep players irrespective of the coaching changes.
Here is a list of coaches with championships and time in a power conference. Chris Klieman is the only coach on the betting odds list above with a championship.

The early 2025 mock draft does not have a single Gator projected in the 1st round, but there is a former Gator projected at pick #30, Princely Umanmilien. Just for kicks, there are two former Gator recruits--Harold Perkins and Isaiah Bond.

Lane Kiffin apparently is the favorite on social media. Kiffin has been head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels since 2020, where he has a 37-15 record. His overall record is 97-49 in college, 5-15 in the NFL. He has two Conference USA championships (2017, 2019). There has been discussion on his...
Jamey Chadwell has been the head coach at Liberty since 2023, where he has a 16-1 record. His overall coaching record is 114-58 with stints at North Greenville (2009-2011), Delta State (2012), and Coastal Carolina (2017, 2019-2022). He has won conference championships in Conference USA (2023)...
Betting sites are already posting odds for the next Gator coach in 2025. The ones that I consider realistic will be highlighted in orange for discussion later in the thread. Blue indicates interesting guesses that others have been highlighting on social media. The ones in red are not realistic...
The once mighty 1-2 (0-1) Florida Gators will travel to Stark Vegas to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs (1-2). For some odd reason, the Gators are favored by 6, and the over/under is 57.5. The last time these teams met was in Dan Mullen's first year at Florida after previously coaching at...
I agree @DRU2012 . If Napier cannot beat an unranked SEC team with a first-year SEC coach (third year overall), I do not see how he survives much longer. I hate to admit it but Napier is a proverbial dead man walking. Every game except UGA is a must-win. He also cannot allow any more records to...
Florida Gators (1-1, 0-0 SEC) vs Texas A&M Aggies (1-1, 0-0 SEC). Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Steve Spurrier-Florida Field. September 14, 2024 at 3:30 PM ET.
Billy Napier has a career record of 52-27 (27-5 Sun Belt) in his 7th season, but his record at Florida is 12-15 (6-10 SEC) in his 3rd...
This might be the last game where I was to post the stat box. DJ Lagway had a passer rating of 264.82 and a QBR of 93.5.

To be fair, even the best athletic directors miss more than they hit when hiring college football coaches. Jeremy Foley is considered one of the greatest athletic directors of all time, but let’s analyze his hiring record:
- Ron Zook = miss
- Urban Meyer = big hit
- Will Muschamp = miss
- Jim...
After I typed my earlier response I remembered that Napier, like most coaches, is stubborn. More than likely, Mertz will be the starter against Texas A&M.
Not at all. If he lights up the scoreboard and masters all 5 of Napier's plays, it will be hard to not make him the starter. The only reason to keep Mertz as the starter after a great performance by Lagway is out of loyalty to Mertz for all he has done for UF. Unfortunately, this is how sports...
