I’m choked up right now. I know he’s got the right soul. I questioned his play calling and coaching intelligence but I’ve been corrected and I apologize. I’m super happy for this team and can’t wait to see what happens with recruiting and next year. GO GATORS!!
Yea the 2024 Gators went from hard to watch early on to now hard not to root for. Scrappy team. Everybody loves a scrapper. And for y’all I guess, just good to see Ole Miss get taken down.
@@__G___ A QB he recruited. A QB that he got on campus. A QB that he calls the plays for. And a QB that has openly said he's all in on Coach Napier. Move on dude. Gator Nation doesn't need you and your negativity.
@MrMrl69 a QB that he PAID to play. Get it right. Billy has already proved he is a terrible coach I've been a Gator fan since you were swimming around in ya dads ball sack. Fans like you are why the Gators stay mediocre kid
a QB that he PAID to play. Get it right. Billy has already proved he is a terrible coach I've been a Gator fan since you were in diapers. Fans like you is why they stay mediocre, go hop on another bandwagon kid
Awww, he's so emotional, you can tell he feels like some weight has been lifted. Great team win. Congrats Gator Nation, and guess what we're going bowling you'll ❤
So so so happy for Billy! Had the honor of talking with him multiple times and no one deserves this more. The Gators are on their way up and I can’t to watch him and these men continue to climb 🐊 GO GATORS
I gotta eat crow after today boys!!! I been saying fire Billy Napier all year long. I gotta say Coach Napier…you earned at least one more year to continue building this football team. I apologize Coach Napier and to all of Gator Nation! Go Gators!!!
Look, as a life-long Florida gators fan I was at the end of the road with Napier. I got to enjoy the Fun N Gun and that was my formative years. Coach Spurrier is the measuring stick for me. We struggled for what seemed so long after Meyer left and never seemed to find our way. I can say definitively that I want Coach Napier to succeed here. Coach Napier is finding his way and his players love and support him through and through. I love what I have seen this last few weeks. We're playing inspired. Go Gators!
As a non UF fan, I thought the backlash was WAY extreme and harsh, very uncalled for. He came into a horribly bad program. Good for that man and his players.
so many things have been said about this guy, but man these last few weeks he really earned my respect Love the way he respects and loves the players too - wants to see them succeed
Florida saw the toughest back to back games (Georgia and Texas) in the nation with a 3rd string QB. Arguably two of best teams in the nation I knew if LSU or Ole Miss did not play a perfect game we could win. I've been a huge critic of Napier but I am so glad to finally see the man happy coaching again.
Napier knows the consequences and glory of taking a job like florida. They love you when you win and hate you when you loose. 💯 awesome job coach for not loosing your team
I don't know if there is a way to check my comment history, but if there is, y'all can find all my opinions on why Billy is and has been the best choice to rebuild our beloved Gators and set the foundation for a successful program.. I'm so happy that his hard work and his process, his recruits and the team that he's built is really starting to shine.. If DJ hadn't gotten hurt, I'm absolutely positive we would have beaten UGA.. we ALMOST had Tennessee too but Graham and Montrell went down.. You can see the caliber of young men he's brought in.. I think next year will be INSANELY different.. To do what our boys have done with this schedule, and the injuries.. I can't wait to see who we play in the Bowl we get invited to.. It's GREAT to be a Gator
Much respect to your program coach. Your players always believed in you, and that’s all that matters. You guys continue to fight, and battle your way through a brutal schedule with a ton of outside noise. From a Bulldawg fan.
I am a Clemson grad who moved to Gainesville, FL in 1987. I became a Gator fan after my first visit to the Swamp back then. I found out that UF fans were just as loud and proud as the Clemson fans in Death Valley. And they had Mr. 2 Bits down here! My daughter is a UF grad who was there during the Tebow years. I remember when there was grumbling about firing Dabo Swinney early on back in the day at Clemson. 8 ACC championships, 2 national championships and 6 BCS playoff appearances in a row later I am glad they didn't fire Dabo. And I am glad they did not fire Coach Napier. He is a good man who obviously cares so much about his players.
I questioned this mans ability to get this team on the right track. I was a "fire billy" guy just a few weeks ago. I owe this man the biggest apology, i really do. He is building something special with this team, and i am so excited to see what he is able to do next year! Go Gators!!!
2 massive wins to carry some momentum into recruiting and the transfer portal, lagway and baugh with a good defense next season they'll win 10 games and make the playoffs, hopefully they beat FSU by 60 lol
After reading a very detailed article on how the previous coach left the program in such a mess and what the intention of the university was in bringing in a coach who could recruit as well as rebuild the culture, I’ve always believed in what coach was trying to accomplish. If you listen to him, he’s not necessarily touting the teams talent but touting their character and belief in each other. The change is finally happening.
We were all wrong about Billy the man got the team playing. I still think it’s the lagway affect but he is the guy to grab lagway so gotta give it up when it’s due. We killed the man
Why would they? Players and coaches get paid to win and fans spend their money wanting to watch their team win. They aren't family and it's no make a wish.😂
I have been telling everyone since Tennessee to let this play out. He recruited a 5 star QB who is clearly a difference maker. The Defense has become so much better after getting simplified... I want Michigan in a bowl game
When all those so called gator fans were booing you, and blue blood "gator" pundits like Bud Martin, Ali Peek, Locked on Gators were going hysterical shouting at the camera to fire you, there were those of us who always believed Napier to take us to the promised land.
You would be upset too if you were on the verge of losing a multi million dollar job… Faith and belief can also cause really really bad things to happen in the world
This man is going to give us a Natty in the not so distant future, with Lagway in the captain's seat, there ain't a lot of teams that can hang with the Gators when they are at full strength.
I’m choked up right now. I know he’s got the right soul. I questioned his play calling and coaching intelligence but I’ve been corrected and I apologize.
I’m super happy for this team and can’t wait to see what happens with recruiting and next year.
GO GATORS!!
Agree but I hope he gets an OC.
“I learned a long time ago, they love you when you win and hate you when you lose.” He’s a true leader of men. We’re lucky to have him
I was having second thoughts when he wasn’t trying to score before half though! Lol
Yassss Go Gators!!!
Same for me! Go Gators! We are blessed to have a man like Napier lead our boys!
From a UGA fan, thank your for exposing this team. Never in my life would I thought I’d be cheering for the gators but man this was awesome to watch
Yea the 2024 Gators went from hard to watch early on to now hard not to root for. Scrappy team. Everybody loves a scrapper. And for y’all I guess, just good to see Ole Miss get taken down.
I’m so happy for Billy’s success ! I hope it continues!
Us as Gators fans owe this man a big apology
We sure do!
an apology for what?
Negative ghost rider Napier owes us a apology for not starting lagway day 1
Little early to say that imo
@@orenthaljames2534 because almost all florida fans said they wanted lane kiffin after the UM loss
Congrats, Coach. We are so happy for you ❤
Napier has had a huge turnaround this season
He has 2 quality wins in 3 seasons. More like he doesn't want to get fired and has a QB saving his career
@@__G___ A QB he recruited. A QB that he got on campus. A QB that he calls the plays for. And a QB that has openly said he's all in on Coach Napier. Move on dude. Gator Nation doesn't need you and your negativity.

@ Ok grandpa. I’m not kid but believe what you want. News flash Lagway getting NIL money is irrelevant. They all do.

So so so happy for Billy! Had the honor of talking with him multiple times and no one deserves this more. The Gators are on their way up and I can’t to watch him and these men continue to climb 🐊 GO GATORS
So happy for you coach. As a Napier fan I’ll always be a fan unconditionally
True fan
Billy Napier is a good man.

Respect
Save me a plate
Exactly.......feeling are mutual. ❤
Thanks. Coach u deserve the win thank you for the awesome game today and as well as the players who laid it out there and left their mark 💯💯💯💯
These boys believe in billy and honestly that's what matters along with lagway just breathing life into this program. Well done go gators
Coming from a UL Ragin Cajun fan, im happy for Billy. Dudes a good man and coach.
One thing you gotta give him credit for is he’s a PLAYERS coach. The fans and media wanted him gone but they went to war for him.
God got you Billy

As a non UF fan, I thought the backlash was WAY extreme and harsh, very uncalled for. He came into a horribly bad program. Good for that man and his players.
He had to navigate huge changes in the college football landscape. So many layers of obstacle.
Bruh he was like 1-10 in rivalry games it was definitely called for
GO GATORS! what a season!
It's good to see Billy being emotional, and he is right. Hope and Belief builds brotherhood, unity, and a championship team. GO GATORS!!!!
so many things have been said about this guy, but man these last few weeks he really earned my respect
Love the way he respects and loves the players too - wants to see them succeed
Great win & Florida is back! Go Gators 🐊 much respect to Coach B!
So So happy for this man!! Congrats coach napier!!

Our boys been through a lot, lots of good experience going into next year!
Hardest schedule of all time. Correct me if I’m wrong
Georgia and Texas both had a bye prior to the Gators game as well.
Great group of young men excited for next year
Happy for Coach he’s a great man
It's great to be a Florida Gator!!!!
They love you when you win! They hate you when you lose! - Coach Napier
So proud of Billy!! From Cajun Country with pride. Geaux Gators!!
Napier knows the consequences and glory of taking a job like florida. They love you when you win and hate you when you loose. 💯 awesome job coach for not loosing your team
@@johnreaser3996 or losing them either
Thank you.
Shout out to Mertz for being a Gator. Lagway's roommate on the road, I think Mertz will make a great coach one day.

He’s rebuilding program the right way (the hard way)
We never should have doubted Billy
Congratulations coach!!!
Thank You Florida! GBO 🍊
We owe y’all a big L next year but hey you’re welcome!! 🐊🐊🐊
This man is building something special at UF.
I haven't been this excited about Florida football in 15 years.
Love Billy naiper ❤️
Go Gators! Let Billy Cook
Facts. Man came from a lower class college school he's cooking. Gators had the hardest schedule this year and still beat these ranked teams
As a gator fan we had a lot of gator fans tired of Billy and we all gotta take a pause and acknowledge this man !!!!!
Go Gators, Fear the Swamp is back you'll 😊❤
Billy Napier is a CLASS ACT! Character matters.
Yessir!
Let's gooooooo!!!!!

Im really beginning to love this mn. He actually cares..
Congratulations coach Napier you did your thing I'm glad that Scott Strickland retained you
LETS GO GATORS!!!!! SHOW EM HOW ITS DONE🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
Go Gators Never Gave Up on Billy
I knew you could get it done, LET BILLY COOK!!!
Great turnaround! GO GATORS 🐊🏆

Good thing Florida decision makers didn’t listen to all of the idiots calling for Napier’s job.
Exactly. I’ve been going hard at the haters for weeks. Billy is a good man and coach and has been building a solid foundation the right way
It's wide open Coach. This is it. Whoop 'em next week and everything gets easier. Recruiting and portal should be off the chain.
Billy is right fans only love you for winning games for them. They don’t really care about you as a person.
Why would they? Players and coaches get paid to win and fans spend their money wanting to watch their team win. They aren't family and it's no make a wish.😂
Some care about the person. It just sucks sometimes because the dumbest speak the loudest at times.
I have been telling everyone since Tennessee to let this play out. He recruited a 5 star QB who is clearly a difference maker. The Defense has become so much better after getting simplified... I want Michigan in a bowl game
Congrats to the Gators....you all did what UGA failed to do. Good win....
G🏈 GAT🐊R’S !!!
Big up gators and go gators
Go Gators!!! 🐊
Good for Billy, you can 🛑 with the sun belt bs.
Mr. Billy is a HELLUVA COACH. Roll Tide
Thx for beating Lane! Go Dawgs!!
Imagine if Lagway had been starting week 1
Oh man dj would of shock the world I so glad we have him
Coming from a Vols fan, thank you Florida. But why no field storm?
No matter how down bad we are. Field storming isn’t our thing.
Because only those who don't expect to win storm the field. Loser mentality
Because we are the university of Florida, we expect to win! We don’t storm the field. Maybe next year in a playoff win ;)
When all those so called gator fans were booing you, and blue blood "gator" pundits like Bud Martin, Ali Peek, Locked on Gators were going hysterical shouting at the camera to fire you, there were those of us who always believed Napier to take us to the promised land.
Y'all weren't as vocal and frankly, his coaching did not win the game. It almost cost them this win. The credit goes to the players
0:13 I thought he was rubbing the top of her head. 😂 I’m dead.
Cutting this from the live feed to watch a countdown timer in Texas is humiliating. Someone in that control room should lose their job
GO GATORS!!
It looks like Lane Kiffin won't be replacing Napier for next year 🎉🎉🎉
God is a gator: that is why He made the sky blue and the sun orange!
😮!!!
Yall Gator fans need to look in the mirror. Fack a Fine bam, he dont know your heart! Roll Tide and lets go Gators!
We did it and Billy’s work it paying off we are starting to see the dj lagway effect and it’s promising
I SAID ITS GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR
Molly McGrath is no pull out 💯
Yes!!
Bruh 🤣
💯
I mean she is fine but don't be so blunt😂
Best comment yet 😂😂
Let’s go gators
How bout them Gators 🐊!!!
Great game but napier Has to do better in clock management.. congrats
So will be more money and fresh five star recruits
What's that saying you start listening to fans you will be sitting in stands with them.
Man I will apologize myself. I questioned play calling and the players ability on the field not translating
Not sure who her husband is but he’s living a life I wish I could have
Miami broke Florida
You would be upset too if you were on the verge of losing a multi million dollar job… Faith and belief can also cause really really bad things to happen in the world
Wow
This man is going to give us a Natty in the not so distant future, with Lagway in the captain's seat, there ain't a lot of teams that can hang with the Gators when they are at full strength.
💪🏻💪🏻😎😎😎😎
If he hires a good OC, watch out.
Go gators let’s go fsu next he’s turned around and lageway go gators.
