Florida strength coach Craig Fitzgerald, who was hired by the Gators from the New York Giants in late December, has accepted the same position at Boston College on Bill O'Brien's staff, Swamp247 confirmed on Sunday afternoon.


“I want to thank Fitz for doing a great job during the five weeks he’s been at Florida,” Florida head coach Billy Napier said.

"This program is a f*cking joke. Losing upmost and highest ranking coaches to f*cking BC is a fireable offense. This is f*cking pathetic. Get me a new god*m head coach man"

"I don’t care. We’re literally a laughing stock. Anyone defending Billy needs to go f*cking hold a a live power line. Wishing for the program to fail cheering on this bum *ss mfer. F*ck Billy Napier and Scott Stricklin"

"I can’t believe I actually believed in this dumb f*ck. Goddammit f* k Billy"

"Our S&C coach, who is essentially our HC during the next few months when the coaching staff can’t have direct contact with the players, just left after a month on the job with Billy lmao"

"Billy is such a loser. Dude sees a brighter future at BC than here lol."

It's a smart move. He knows Billy is going to get fired. The Gayta' gig would only last 1 year, while the BC job is at least 3 years.

How many coaches will they be paying then? What is his buyout now?

Edit: I misread the terms of Billy's contract. He's owed 85% of the contract and 50% due within 30 days of his firing.

Corrected:
Billy's contract is $51.8M over 7 years. He's in year 3 of his contract. So, $51.8M - 3 x $7.4M (yearly salary) = $29.6M remaining on his contract. 85% of his remaining contract would be $25.16M.

It gets even worse. Billy's contract states that 50% of his remaining contract is due within 30 days of firing him. That would be $25.16 x 0.50 = $12.58M due within 30 days of firing. This is of course if he were fired after the season has ended. If he were fired midseason after 6 games, he'd be owed another $3.7M of which 85% of that is $3.145. 50% of that ($1.57M) would be due within 30 days bringing the new total to $14.15M ($12.58M + $1.57M) due with 30 days.

Billy Napier Florida contract, buyout clause: Here's how much Gators owe coach if fired

Florida coach Billy Napier has come under scrutiny following a 9-9 start to his Gators tenure. What would the university owe him if it fired him?
www.gainesville.com

Still not done / Just make it stop:
They also have to pay the assistant coaches the remainder of their contracts, which is 1-3 years depending on what year they are in their contract.

That's another $7.25M each year for likely 2 years.
www.on3.com

Where do Florida Gators assistant coach salaries stack up across the country?

How much are the Florida Gators paying their assistant coaches and how does that stack up against the rest of the schools across America?
www.on3.com www.on3.com

A firing midseason after 6 games would cost Gayta' athletics $14.15M for Billy and $3.625M for his assistants. That's a $17.775M hit for 2024 and they'd have to pay a new coach and his assistants on top of that. I would expect their NIL to take a huge hit if Billy gets fired.

Gayta' nation may be married to Billy longer than they're hoping for.

I agree. I think he's going to go to Lagway early in the season to try to hide behind the freshman growing pains excuse.

But like.. what is their admin is thinking? Does he have their support for at least another year? Is he already done and they're just waiting for his buyout to drop? Are they all about "academics first" and don't care about football?

What are their expectations anyway? They're coming off back to back to back losing seasons. I don't think he'll get there, but would 7 wins be enough to save him? It'd be hilarious if the prestigious gator standard is to be 1 game over .500.

Billy is due 85% of his contract balance within 30 days of being fired. They would really need to keep him through the 2025 season to avoid taking a huge hit in one year.
