Why is this the overwhelming thought? Not disagreeing with it, just not sure what I'm missing that makes it so obvious he won't end up at Florida.

because Napier whether people want to admit or not is on the hot seat at Florida. I know it sounds ridiculous for year 2 of a coach but if he has a second straight losing season how patient will Florida be? he could easily be shown the door if he crashes and burns this year. Right now the gators are an afterthought in the East and at best the 4th best team in that division maybe 5th that shouldn’t happen at a place like Florida. Will that recruiting class stick if Napier is fired after this year? Unlikely unless they hit a major homer run hire.

Last year was bad, but if Napier can hold on to a top 3 recruiting class, I think he buys himself time regardless of how the season goes.

As long as top talent is coming through the door then he can sell the narrative that he "just needs time" to build a roster
