Billy announced an auction that would benefit veterans. The UAA auctioned off the game worn signed jerseys and didn't donate the money because they never approved Billy's request for the funds to be donated. Billy buys black jerseys and sells them in May and does donate the funds. The UAA come out looking like absolute shit. Fire Stricklin. Fire everyone.

Yeah that ain't strictly on Billy (if true). If they use it to try to fire him for cause, it'll dissuade good coaches from wanting the job.

Canning Stricklin would go a long way to soothe those concerns for future coaches. What a fucking disaster UF has become.
Agreeeeeee so hard. Stricklin is the issue. He should have been gone after the womenās basketball bs

Second down is F$U sucking:
Every Saturday, senior national college football writer Matt Hayes breaks down four trending stories, and a 12-team College Football Playoff bracket.
First Down: The Billy Napier experiment is over
A group of Florida boosters have pulled together money to cover the expense of firing coach Billy Napier, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
The two spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the process, which will begin when interim Florida president Kent Fuchs makes an official decision. The only variable is when.
If Florida fires Napier, he will be owed approximately $26 million in buyout money. But that number could be mitigated because Florida is currently being investigated by the NCAA for its recruitment ā and Napierās role in the recruitment āof former high school recruit Jaden Rashada.
Fuchs hired Napier in 2022, and was one of Napierās biggest supporters before retiring in February of 2023. Fuchs returned in an interim role this summer when Ben Sasse resigned as president.
Fuchs and the Florida administration desperately want Napier to succeed, and have given him everything he would need ā financially, structurally, facilities ā to do so. But the product on the field has progressively gotten worse, even after Napier promised this offseason that it would be different.
Texas A&M routed the Gators 33-20 Saturday in The Swamp, the second blowout home loss of the season, including the much anticipated season opening 41-17 loss to rival Miami.
The Gators have given up an average of 38 points in their last eight games against power conference opponents.
More damaging: For the second time in as many home games against FBS opponents, fans began filing out of the stadium early in the third quarter. The Aggies started backup quarterback Marcel Reed in place of injured starter Conner Weigman, and still led 20-0 at halftime, and 33-7 midway through the third quarter.
The loss dropped Florida (1-2) to 12-16 in 28 games under Napier, including 7-15 vs. power conference teams. Another losing season ā against the nationās toughest schedule ā would be Floridaās fourth in a row for the first time since the World War II era.
Even the emergence of freshman quarterback DJ Lagway wasnāt enough to change the Gatorsā fortunes. Florida had 63 yards in the first half, and its possessions ended with three punts and an interception.

Miraculously, Florida's Billy Napier wasn't the first football coach fired in 2024
Coming into the 2024 season, unofficial betting odds had Florida Football coach Billy Napier among the most likely coaches to be the first fired this year. Fran
