Paul Finebaum Reveals 'It's Close To Midnight' For Major College Football Coach

The Florida Gators once again had a disappointing start to the season. Just weeks after being blown out by in-state rival, the Miami Hurricanes, Florida lost 33-20 to the Texas A&M Aggies.

According to SEC Network , the Gators have a 7-16 record against Power Four conference opponents in their last 23 games, with seven consecutive losses. These losses to start the season are big because they diminish Florida's chances of achieving its first winning season since 2020.

ESPN's Paul Finebaum said it could be close to the end of head coach Billy Napier's tenure at Florida.

"It really isn't early for Florida," Finebaum said. "It's close to midnight for Billy Napier."

Florida faces a tough road ahead this season, with five games against currently ranked teams. To avoid finishing with a losing record, they'll need to win at least one of those games.

The Gators have a chance to bounce back this week as they face Mississippi State Bulldogs, who were labeled by Finebaum as probably the "worst team" in college football . The Bulldogs are coming off a blowout loss to Toledo.

The Gators need to build momentum in the next two weeks before facing those tough opponents. If they fail to do so, it could mean the end of Napier's time at Florida.
