Billy Napier preached patience Monday afternoon.

The Florida football head coach is sitting at 5-5 on the season with 2 top-15 matchups to play before the end of the regular season. They’ll travel to Missouri to play the Tigers this week before a matchup against Florida State in Week 13.

The Gators have played a tough, tough schedule this season. By the end of the season they will have played 6 ranked teams. And while this has been a disappointing year, it’s still just Napier’s 2nd season in Gainesville.

Napier said Monday that the Gators are still in the middle of their process and that “you don’t just flip a coin and decided to be head coach of the Florida Gators.”

Hear more from Napier below:

The Gators and Tigers face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN this Saturday from Columbia, Missouri.
