They wouldn’t pay the buyout

I give ULL a ton of grief on here but I think you have to give Michael "One of Us" Desormeaux the 2026 Season because he went 7-1 in the Sun Belt in 2024 and his NIL "Star" QB Transfer got injured early.
You need to spend the cash on the Portal again and not a Buy Out.
With that said, you can absolutely take Sun Belt Billy back for the 2027 Season if he decides to go Coordinator/Year Off role next season & Desormeaux can't go 6-6 in 2026.
Their non-conference schedule next season is UAB, Lamar, and Louisiana Tech.

No, I don’t think we will

Maybe.
It’s up to the coaches. A lot of these coaches, at some point, should realize what level they belong.

What cash?
Maybe we can convince Best Stop to offer five pounds of boudin for a portal recruit, because we sure as shite don’t have any cash to spend.

I would take a highly motivated Billy looking to prove himself for another shot at a P4 job.
Problem is our idiotic administration actually put a buyout in Dez’s contract. A buyout we wouldn’t be able to afford.

There is no scenario where UL lets Des go and hires Napier. UL is in a major financial bind that the former president got them in and they are slashing staff and departments all over campus.

That’s not how buyouts work.

To show how awesome our university "leadership" has been, we allowed a buyout clause in the contract of a 3A high school offensive coordinator.

Billy has not been fired so hiring team would end up paying his buyout. It’s not certain if UF even will fire him. Because of the buyout.

My brother and I were talking about that and both agreed they would because he was a very good HC for UL and the current HC is terrible

They are referencing Michael "ULL's Chris Scelfo" Desormeaux's Buy Out.
He signed a new deal in December 2024:

I think Billy is done at Florida. He will be fired at the end of the season or possibly before

I would take Billy back in a heartbeat over Des.
