Napier's Future at Florida: UAA Power Plays & Jon Gruden Rumors | Former Gator Reacts

Florida football is at a crossroads—and this episode pulls no punches. A former Gator reacts to the fallout from Florida's rocky start and examines Billy Napier's future through the lens of UAA power dynamics, Scott Stricklin's leverage, booster influence, and how an OC handoff could (or couldn't) change the on-field product. We unpack what's real vs noise in the Jon Gruden rumors, why coaching-search chatter surfaces when the UAA moves behind the scenes, and how NIL/revenue-share realities shape any potential decision. On tape: play-calling, game-management, substitution/tempo issues, and what a player-led locker room must do this week. We also hit the injury picture, the optics of doubling down on play-calling, and how Florida can still salvage the season with actionable fixes (situational scripting, personnel packages, special-teams discipline). If you care about how Florida actually makes big decisions, this is your inside-baseball episode—equal parts candid and constructive.
