Florida fired Billy Napier on Sunday after another sluggish start and a 22-23 record, launching its fifth coaching search since Urban Meyer’s 2010 exit. Athletic director Scott Stricklin, recently extended, will choose his third coach as the Gators remain without a CFP berth. Potential candidates include Lane Kiffin, Eliah Drinkwitz, Rhett Lashlee, Jedd Fisch and Marcus Freeman. Retaining core talent — including QB DJ Lagway, RB Jadan Baugh and others — and holding key commitments from JaReylan McCoy and Will Griffin loom as pivotal challenges.
