Year four of the Billy Napier Era has been a complete flop. All the talk of the Gators being ready to Spot The Ball and being a dark horse contender for the playoffs and fallen apart leading into the first bye week.
The Gators have fallen to 1-3 on the season after losing to Miami 26-7 on a night when the Gators couldn't even manage 150 yards on offense.
At this point, what more is there to say about Napier that hasn't been said already, but that didn't stop social media from having a field day with the loss to Miami.

I'm not sure Billy Napier is the problem

Florida's offensive coordinator is definitely the problem

DJ Lagway struggles too
DJ Lagway looks like a shell of himself this season. He too came into the season as a darkhorse Heisman candidate, but has regressed to the point where he would struggle to get a starting spot with a G5 squad.
Lagway had just 12 completions for 61 yards. On the bright side, at least he didn't throw five interceptions like last week.
So there is that.
It was a quiet night for DJ Lagway. pic.twitter.com/HnqJ4J2O4N

UF passed for 61 yards. Had 7 1st downs. Was 0-for-13 on 3rd down.
β Frank Frangie (@Frank_Frangie) September 21, 2025
Billy Napier is a horrendously bad offensive coach. DJ Lagway is a very poor passer who has no business starting at this level.
There HAS to be changes before UF plays again.
HAS. TO. BE.

1-3
There really isn't much hope for Florida moving forward in 2025. The team looks lost on offense and there was just no juice from the squad all night.
Why Billy Napier hasn't been fired yet? Who knows.
Billy Napier is the WORST play caller in the history of college football.

The fact that he genuinely believes that he is the best option for this Florida Gators offense to succeed is unbelievable.
