Billy Napier isn't looking for Florida Football to lend Mike Norvell a helping hand

Once upon a time, Florida Football coach Billy Napier was on the hottest of hot seats while FSU coach Mike Norvell was being treated like royalty. That narrative has completely switched as Napier is in a position of strength heading into this Saturday's matchup, while Norvell looks like a guy who went way down yonder on the Chattahoochee in the offseason and barely returned in time for the games to be played.

Napier was asked about the struggles FSU has been having, but it doesn't sound like he is going to be sending a get-well-soon card to Tallahassee anytime soon.

After going 13-0 last year only to still be left out of the playoffs because they spent half the year bumbling and stumbling even with Jordan Travis, FSU has gone 2-10 since winning the ACC championship, kickstarted by their 63-3 drubbing at the hands of Georgia.

Once it was clear this squad wasn't going to accomplish anything, FSU looked like a team that quit on the season and just wants Saturday to come and go as quickly as possible.

At his press conference, Napier was asked about FSU's struggles. His response wasn't quite on the level of Spurrier, but it was made clear where his focus is this week:

"I have my own grass to mow. My yard is big, has a lot of weeds in it. I have my own issues. I don't necessarily think it would be right for me to comment on that. Look, I understand all the things that come with the job. Job's probably more challenging than it's ever been. I have a ton of respect for Mike. He's a good football coach. I think we're trying to get the Florida Gators better. That's my focus."

Florida will take on FSU at 7PM on Saturday.
