The Florida Gators paid USF $500,000 to play in Gainesville, only to lose in one of the most shocking upsets of the season.

Known for his excellence in coaching Louisiana between 2019 and 2021, Napier was hired by Florida in 2022 to help the Gators reestablish their foothold in the Southeastern Conference. However, the 46-year-old coach couldn't reclaim the magic he had at Lafayette, suffering two losing seasons in his first three years at Gainesville.

The Florida coach's buyout is 85% of his current remaining contract, which would be $19.38 million after this season, with 50% of the buyout (~$9.7 million) being due within 30 days of Napier being fired and the rest being paid out in equal installments every July through 2028. There is no offset for the buyout if Napier gets another job.
