Florida head football coach Billy Napier may find himself on the hot seat again if two DJ Lagway-related factors don’t come to fruition. After a strong finish to the 2024 season, where the Gators won their last four games to finish 8-5, expectations are high for 2025. Lagway played a pivotal role in the team’s success, leading the Gators to victories in three of their last four games, including a blowout win over Ole Miss that knocked them out of the College Football Playoff.
If Lagway continues his strong play, Florida could be a CFP contender next season. However, according to On3’s Andy Staples, if Lagway struggles or the line play regresses, Napier’s job could be in jeopardy. “Putting Florida here is a big swing, and it counts on two things: quarterback D.J. Lagway continues to improve and the line play looks like it did at the end of 2024 and not the beginning,” Staples wrote. “If both those things happen, Florida could go 10-2 and get in based on the gnarliness of its schedule. If those two things don’t happen, someone else is here and the Gators may be in the market for a coach.”
While the University of Florida gave Napier a vote of confidence ahead of the 2024 season, that doesn’t mean they won’t make changes if improvements aren’t seen in his fourth season. The days of firing coaches too soon may be over, but SEC programs will always be willing to invest heavily if a coach’s tenure starts to go south. Napier must prove himself this fall.
