Might just be rumors but it’s going around that Florida is making moves behind the scenes to Can Billy by the end of this week.

Other sites are speculating on it anyway and articles are being written.

I know this name gets thrown around every time there is a big job opening but sounds like Kiffin is high on the list of names for a replacement.
I heard his name come up last week in relation to the Florida job. My understanding is, when Billy gets canned (it’s not “if” any longer) the first person that Stricklin will target is Lane.

To me Napier and norvell are basically the same kind of hires in that you had major programs jump on a G5 coach that was winning at a high rate but never considered the competition and the advantages of that program compared to their peers.

I think we will see more Kiffin and Elko career paths and less of the Norvell and Napier ones going forward

Billy’s press interview after beating MSU honestly sounded like a man saying goodbye to his family as they gathered around his deathbed.

Can’t say he didn’t get a fair shot. If you don’t produce results by the 4th year it ain’t happening.
Head coach making millions of dollars at one of the best coaching jobs in the country and he still doesn't understand something so simple as he sucks at running an offense.

Pure hubris......and an embarrassment to the university.

I'm glad he's gone.
