The coach tried his best to help the Gators fight their way in the cut-throat Southeastern Conference, only to fail each year.Florida names receivers coach Billy Gonzales as interim coachFlorida athletic director Scott Stricklin named longtime receivers coach Billy Gonzales as the Gators' interim coach a day after they sacked embattled coach Billy Napier.Stricklin spoke about the coaching change in a press conference on Sunday and expressed utmost trust in Gonzales, who will guide the team in the remainder of the 2025 college football season."Coach Gonzales has been a valued member of our program for many years, including being a part of multiple championship teams," Stricklin said. "He is a Gator through and through. His deep understanding of our culture, our student-athletes, and what it means to represent the University of Florida makes him well-suited to lead our team."The athletic director noted the decision to make the coaching change during the bye week provides the team sufficient time to get ready for the upcoming games, particularly the clash against No. 5 Georgia on Nov. 1, No. 8 Ole Miss on Nov. 15 and No. 17 Tennessee on Nov. 22.Last season, Gonzales coached wide receiver Elijhah Badger (806 receiving yards on 39 receptions) and Chimere Dike (783 yards, 42 receptions) to more than 700 receiving yards and averaged 18 yards per reception. The Gators were the only FBS team to achieve it last year.
