Florida Fires Billy Napier Amid 2025 Coaching Carousel
Florida fired fourth-year coach Billy Napier despite a recent win, ending his Gainesville tenure at 22–23 and naming receivers coach Billy Gonzales interim. The move is part of an early 2025 coaching carousel that has produced double-digit FBS vacancies and seven Power Four openings, including the dismissal of Penn State’s James Franklin and vacancies at Oklahoma State, UCLA, Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Stanford and others. Analysts say NIL, revenue sharing and the expanded College Football Playoff are reshaping the market so programs prioritize resources, recruiting footprint and clear paths to competitiveness. High-profile names such as Lane Kiffin, Eli Drinkwitz and Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman have been mentioned as potential targets as schools test the market despite buyout complications. That churn mirrors men’s college basketball, where buyouts, NIL and lower tolerance for underperformance have accelerated coaching turnover.
