Hot seat? Florida fans roast Billy Napier for ’embarrassing’ Week 1 performance against Utah
By Ethan Stone
Published:
Florida is really, really struggling to start the season against No. 14 Utah.
The Utes are bullying the Gators early, but it doesn’t feel like it should be as bad as it is. Downright silly penalties and missteps are plaguing Billy Napier’s squad nearly 3 quarters in with Utah leading 24-3.
And even when they aren’t tripping over themselves, the Gators have struggled to end a drive in the end zone. Florida had also yet to convert a 3rd down halfway through the 3rd quarter.
Eventually, that points to coaching. The Gators are undisciplined and so far have been cooked by a 3rd string QB.
As you could expect, fans are not taking this too kindly. Fans from around the country went as far to put Napier on the hot seat in Week 1 after their dismal first-half performance against the Utes.

Turning motions and unique formations into red-zone penalties is a bad offensive look.
