A group of Florida boosters have pulled together money to cover the expense of firing coach Billy Napier, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

He's gone, it's just a matter of when. Florida is still looking for a full time president and I'm betting the school does not want the current AD, strickland, to make a third football hire. They may want to get that situation figured first and then let the new person make the call.

With Trent Dilfer basically signing his own pink slip, is there a chance they bring Vincent back and would he even want to go there? That’s probably a moot point because he’s going to get better offers which brings me to my next moot question. If Sumrall leaves after next season, would Vincent be interested in coming to Tulane if a better offer hasn’t come his way? He may do it just to stick it to UAB a couple more times!

I saw an interesting comment that firing losing coaches will generally not happen until November or early December from what we have seen recently. Why? Transfer portal opens as soon as a coach is fired. Players with four games or less to date can leave and redshirt.

Maybe Dilfer and Napier have another month to turn it around? Saved by the portal! (It’s a joke. They gone.)

That’s a good point. Florida was winning 3-0 at the half.

Upset Alert!! Florida now up 10-0 last I saw.
