"Absolute abomination of Florida football": Calls mount for Billy Napier's firing from fans as Gators struggle massively in win vs. Mississippi State

Furious college football fans intensified their calls to fire embattled Florida coach Billy Napier despite guiding the Gators to a 23-21 win over Mississippi State on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida.

The Gators (3-4, 2-2 in the SEC) won for the second time in three games, but demands to fire Napier increased further after reports stated that the school met with financial boosters during the week to discuss the fate of the under-fire tactician.

One fan wrote an extreme description on X about Florida's season and demanded Napier be fired as soon as possible.

"I’m not kidding, this is an absolute abomination of Florida football. Get his ass out of here as soon as the sun rises," the fan said.

Other fans chimed in on the demand to oust the embattled coach, who is 22-23 in four seasons with the Gators.

I don’t even care we won. The end of the game management from Billy Napier is ENOUGH CAUSE FOR TREASON. FIRE BILLY NAPIER

Meanwhile, college football enthusiasts felt that the Gators were fortunate to win the clash against the Bulldogs, but despite the victory, they had seen enough and wanted Florida to part ways with Napier.

Lucky win against an awful team and now we’re celebrating like we won a damn championship. This program is sad man. Fire Billy.

Defensive tackle Michai Boireau intercepted Blake Shapen's pass in the final seconds of the game to preserve Florida's win over Mississippi State (4-3, 0-3 in SEC). The defensive tackle's pick sent the home crowd happy in what may likely be Napier's final game in Gainesville.

The Gators struggled mightily on third-down efficiency, making 4 of 11 opportunities. Quarterback DJ Lagway threw two interceptions despite passing for 280 yards.

Defense keeps Florida in the fight in win over Mississippi State

The defensive line gave embattled Florida coach a "parting present" in its win over Mississippi State Saturday night.

The Gators recorded 79 tackles to keep the Bulldogs looking for their first win in the SEC. Alfonzo Allen Jr came up with 15 tackles, including eight solo tackles, to stymie Mississippi State's field progress in the game.

Florida sacked quarterback Blake Shapen four times, with Kamran James accumulating 1 1/2 sacks. Kofi Asare and Brandon Bett had one sack each, while Brien Taylor Jr was credited for half a sack in the victory.

The rushing offense was on point for Florida as Jadan Baugh rushed for 150 yards in 23 carries, with one touchdown and KD Daniels also recorded a score despite gaining only 15 yards.

Florida faces a period of uncertainty as the university awaits the decision of athletic director Scott Stricklin over Napier's job security in the coming days.
