Supposedly UF has called for an unplanned meeting with boosters this am. As a gator fan, it's time for Napier to go. He is in above his head

Swamp was clearing out by halftime, Billy got booed running off the field. This team could lose every one of their remaining games.
We left after the pick six. You don’t sell 17$ beers and 8$ burgers with nobody in the stands. Money talks and Billy is costing us money.

If Norville doesn’t even attempt another qb he’s gonna get a ton of calls for his head.
I can’t understand how he can keep that dude in as qb. I’ve watched all 3 games this year. The guy is HORRIBLE.

Napier is already gone, they just haven't told him or decided the exact date. Last prediction I saw for the season was the Gators losing every remaining game. I doubt they fire Norvell after one bad season. My guess is, he will get one more year after this to bring it back, then he will be gone. I think he is a good coach and will likely survive. But last year I thought Napier could turn it around and look where we are. If Norville doesn’t even attempt another qb he’s gonna get a ton of calls for his head. I can’t understand how he can keep that dude in as qb. I’ve watched all 3 games this year. The guy is HORRIBLE. Maybe the backup is even worse? |

Napier. Then Norvell needs to hire him as Recruiting Coordinator.

I was all for giving Napier the benefit of the doubt. The climate in college football is ever changing and more challenging every day. That being said I would of fired him at halftime yesterday.

I believe Norvell's buy out is 6 million but they will owe him 85% on the contract he just signed to the tune of 63 million.

There is something to be said about moving up a coach already on the team when a head coach leaves.
Florida should have moved up Charlie Strong.
But those days are over.

Who fucking cares anymore?
College football is ruined with the NIL and transfer portal.
Bucs are 2-0!

I just read Napier is on the way out. They're waiting on the NCAA to see what they do. If he was involved in recruiting violations they won't have to pay the 26 mil.

Well now I’m stuck in a rabbit hole. I see nothing about Napier being fired. But if they can shit can him for cause because of the Rashada thing that saves 26million.
Rumor was Kiffen was upset about not even getting an interview when Strickland hired Napier. Gators will have to throw a bunch of money at him. But I believe his wife is a Gator so who knows.
I figured they wouldn’t do anything til after the Miss St game. Then a bye.

Is Napier gone? What did it cost? Not fired yet. But his time is running out. I expect the next two games with Miss State and UCF will seal his fate and they let him got before Tennessee unless he pulls out a miracle and wins both games. But who is the interim Head coach? Is it Jabbar Juluke or do we get Spurrier out of retirement to finish the season? They will owe Napier $25.67 million whether they do it now or at the end of the season according to Bleacher Reports. 50% within 30 days and the rest over time. They may be hoping the NCAA says he violated recruiting rules and then they don't have to pay. But the Boosters will cough up the cash if need be. But the trustees have not set up a meeting to discuss Napier's termination. bleacherreport.com/articles/10135426-report-billy-napiers-fate-sealed-for-florida-boosters-latest-contract-buyout-info |

I figured they wouldn’t do anything til after the Miss St game. Then a bye. The Gators are paying Napier over $7 mil. Kiffin is making $9 mil at Ole Miss. I think the Gators could hire him at $10 mil. U.F. would also have to pay ole Miss $4 mil for Kiffin's buyout. Considering the Coaches we have hired and fired and the payout due them, $10 mil is not a bunch of money. Is Kiffin the guy we want, if we are spending $10 mil a year? |

I figured they wouldn’t do anything til after the Miss St game. Then a bye. His ex-wife is a multigenerational Gator. Her father was the late John Reaves. I had not heard that he remarried. Don’t know that this connection really helps the Gators land him. |

I hated Kiffen, cocky asshole, but in my opinion he’s matured a lot. Eating humble pie does that to a man. I’d be all in on Kiffen. |

If Napier wins today, he might get to stay until the Kentucky game and then if he wins that, he might last until the end of the season.
I don't think Norvell will get fired unless he loses to Duke or Charleston. But if FSU loses today, it will be a big nail in his coffin and likely mean FSU is winless until the Duke game.

"If Florida State decided to part ways with head coach Mike Norvell at the end of the 2024 season, the Seminoles would owe their head coach roughly $63 million. The head coach’s buyout drops by roughly $9 million after each season." "Norvell signed an eight-year extension through the 2031 season worth more than $84 million before incentives before the 2024 season. According to Norvell’s contract, he is owed 85 percent of his remaining salary as a buyout." "Here is a full buyout breakdown: \+ Buyout drops to $54.4 million after the 2025 season \+ Buyout drops to $45.6 million after the 2026 season \+ Buyout drops to $36.8 million after the 2027 season \+ Buyout drops to $27.7 million after the 2028 season \+ Buyout drops to $18.5 million after the 2029 season \+ Buyout drops to $9.3 million after the 2030 season" "Norvell would receive $875,000 a month through Dec. 31, 2031, if fired at the end of this season. He is set to earn $10.15 million in 2025. His contract includes a $150,000 raise each season. The Florida State coach will make $11.05 million in the final year of his contract in 2031." www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/mike-norvell-contract-details-of-florida-state-head-coach-s-buyout/ar-AA1rq1xB?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=u531&cvid=1d9c3d102dc44f37da22cd5ce2e023f1&ei=19 |

I suppose I understand these buyout schemes where the coach gets filthy rich even if canned if I presume that a high-profile firing kills a head coach’s future career.
Is that assumption correct? Do fired coaches go on to be successful head coaches in other places? Or are they done as a head coach once they get the boot?

Do fired coaches go on to be successful head coaches in other places? Or are they done as a head coach once they get the boot? I guess that could be part of the reason, but some of the contracts are just insane. Norvell only made $5 million a year before he got hired by FSU with a $84 million 8 year contract. His $63 buyout is ten years of his previous jobs salary. Jimbo Fisher got $77 million from A&M when they fired him. He was making $6 million at FSU when A&M hired him with a ten year, $95 million contract. It is unlikely fisher or Norvell will get another $10 million a year contract from another school, but, if they wish to remain in coaching, they will get hired as some assistant coach at a power 5 conference or even head coach at a smaller school earing $1 to $3 million a year. Some contracts even stipulate such future earnings will decrease the payoff amount. I sort of understand a contract like Napier's where he will get $27 million if fired this year, even though i think it is still very high. Napier was making $900,00 before U.F. hired him.BTW, Gator Boosters have already raised and secured the funds to buy out his contract this year. That is the real reason schools offer these insane contracts because the big money booster guarantee it will be paid if needed, A&M had no problem paying Jimbo $77 million. U.F. will have no problem paying Napier $27 million. I assume FSU's boosters will cough up $60 million if they want Norvell gone bad enough. As long as the Boosters keep coughing up the millions needed, the contracts will get crazier. If by some odd chance Norvell and Napier both get fired this year (I doubt Norvell gets fired), then some high profile coaches are going to be looking at some huge offers to move to one of those two schools. |
