Demand Grows For One Coach To Replace Billy Napier At Florida

Once again, Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier is in hot water. After Week 1, Napier's name began to swirl in hot seat conversation following a blowout loss to Miami (FL).

Then, he made a surprising decision to name Graham Mertz the starter despite fans wanting DJ Lagway to be the team's QB1 . In Week 3, Florida lost to Texas A&M in Gainesville, and fans were clearly not happy with Napier.

As such, Florida was even predicted to be moving on from Napier , and things could work quickly as they announced a meeting on Sunday morning that was unplanned previously.

Suddenly, one prominent name is gaining buzz: Urban Meyer.

Meyer's name began to circulate quickly on Saturday during and after Florida's loss.

"If I’m Florida I’m calling Urban Meyer stat," said one fan . Another wrote , "Florida need to bring back Urban Meyer."

"If I’m Florida im absolutely swinging for the fences here no more cheap band aid hires. Chris Petersen , Bob Stoops , Urban Meyer," another fan mentioned .

One other even mentioned Meyer along with some more far-off options like Luke Fickell and Matt Rhule.

The Urban Meyer-Florida buzz continued.

"Florida has to fire Billy Napier. Buyout is large, need a guy who will fire a team up, has national championship experience, and Florida success," said one fan. "4 people that could turn this program around. 1. Lane Kiffin 2. Urban Meyer 3. Jimbo Fisher 4. Bob Stoops."

They just kept on coming with the Meyer discussion.

"URBAN MEYER NEEDS TO BE REINSTATED AS THE FLORIDA GATORS HEAD COACH TOMORROW," said one fan with all caps on.

There was even another wild Florida prediction involving Florida State as well.

"Urban Meyer back to Florida Jimbo Fisher back to Florida State Make CFB Great Again," said the fan on X . There are a lot of fans on X calling for Meyer to come to Gainesville, which would be a sight to see.

In six seasons as the Florida head coach, Urban Meyer went 65-15 overall with a pair of national titles, so fans wanting him back is not that surprising.

He then moved on to Ohio State for seven years and went 83-9 before a failed 2-11 stint in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It would not be a surprise to see Meyer return to coaching, and there are far worse options than the Gators bringing back the legend.
