"Yeah, I mean, I don't have any control over that," said Napier, who's 54-29 as a head coach but just 14-17 at Florida. "So, I think one of the most important things that we can do when put in these positions and having these great opportunities is focus on doing the best job you can do for your players and your staff.

"You get into the season, you've got to hit the reset button and it is literally, you are in the moment, present and focused on the task at hand."

Napier did emphasize his belief in the Gators, who suffered a blow-out loss at home to Miami to open the season.

"One thing I can say about our team is that I do think we are improving," he said. "I'm excited about this group of players, their attitude, their character, the way they've handled some of the adversity. And obviously they put it on the line last Saturday night and came up a little short, but I do think both the performance-character and moral-character of our team has continued to improve.
