Florida is one of the top jobs open in college football after the university fired head coach Billy Napier on Sunday. Napier's firing came a day after Florida beat Mississippi State 23-21, but it was already too late for him. The Gators got off to another slow start this season, which doomed Napier. He finished his tenure with a 22-23 record.
Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin is expected to be one of the Florida Gators' top targets to replace Billy Napier as the program's new head coach. Napier was fired on Sunday -- a day after Florida beat Mississippi State -- after going 22-23 during his nearly four seasons leading the program.
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has become a hot commodity on the coaching carousel this fall with the Rebels' decision-maker remaining in headines this month.
Talks about Lane Kiffin's move to Florida got ignited once again as the No. 5 Ole Miss fell 43-35 to No. 7 Georgia on Saturday. It marked the Rebels first loss of the 2025 season, dropping them to 6-1.
