I’M Leaving and i promise never to return: Billy Napier announce after he…

It might be one of the worst games of the day in college football on Saturday, but Florida versus Mississippi State might be the most intriguing game of the slate for only one reason, and that’s Billy Napier.

Let me be clear, there is no reason why Napier should be coaching the Gators on Sunday afternoon if they return home to Gainesville carrying a loss. A lackluster performance against Mississippi State would be the final nail in the coffin for the Gators head coach, at least from a supporters’ standpoint.

When we talk about Florida Gators football, it usually ends with a discussion about how far the football program has fallen over the last few years. It’s hard to complain when you’re appearing in ‘New Years Six’ bowl games, which would now qualify as the college football playoff. But the program is nowhere near those types of conversations any longer, which is where Dan Mullen had them before a bad season left him without a job.

Now let’s be honest, there was a lot more to the Dan Mullen firing than a win-loss record. So when we look at what Billy Napier has when it comes to personnel and finances spent on assistant coaches and staff members, folks who donate a lot of money to the school have started wondering where their return on investment is. You know, the one that was promised when Napier took over the Florida program and needed enough NIL money to compete at the highest level of the SEC.

Obviously, there have been cracks in the NIL foundation. It’s almost as if the Gators are taking $100 dollar bills and burning them onsite weekly. But there is no reason why Florida should leave Starkville on Saturday with a loss, and I’m just talking about the talent on both rosters. For Jeff Lebby, he will get things headed in the right direction at Mississippi State in my opinion.

And it doesn’t hurt when you announce an $8 million donation a few days after getting destroyed by Toledo.
