Overview

• On3 reporting cited by Sporting News says Florida power brokers expect a coaching change unless Napier delivers a late-season surge described by sources as a 'magical run' or 'miracle finish.'
• Multiple reports say big-money boosters remain dissatisfied and do not view Napier as the long-term answer, even after the Texas result.
• Florida’s remaining path features Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Florida State, with the majority of those games viewed as must-wins for Napier to stay.
• Napier’s playcalling and quarterback DJ Lagway’s 21-of-28, 298-yard, two-touchdown performance fueled the 29-21 win that temporarily eased immediate firing talk.
• Analyst Greg McElroy said Florida 'might be a problem down the stretch,' while coverage notes donor pressure and timing considerations still weigh on any decision.
