Florida played its best game of the season against Georgia, and it's still over for Billy Napier
Georgia game was another close loss, another game of confounding mistakes and misery - and one step closer to the end of Florida coach Billy Napier.

The Gators have lost 18 of 33 games under Napier, and a majority of the previous 17 losses were with a quarterback who was a top-five pick in the NFL draft (Anthony Richardson), and a quarterback who had a career season (Graham Mertz). Don't allow that Lagway excuse.
Florida is now 1-10 in rivalry games (Georgia, Florida State, Tennessee), and 2-13 vs. ranked teams under Napier. If this game weren't a big enough kick in the gut, consider the Tennessee debacle last month.
At the end of the first half, Florida had a field goal negated when it was penalized for too many players on the field. Those three points were the difference in a game the Gators eventually lost in overtime.
Mike Leach used to have a sign hanging in his office everywhere he coached, positioned perfectly so every assistant coach could see it every time they walked into the room.
You’re either coaching it, or you’re allowing it.
