Billy Napier beat Texas a few weeks ago, but that wasn’t enough to save his job.
Napier was fired Sunday, heading into Florida’s open date.
The Swamp is a highly-desirable destination for currently employed coaches and unemployed coaches looking to get back in the game. It’s safe to say this is the top job opening in collegiate football.
SportsBetting.ag posted a list of 20 candidates and each’s respective odds to be the next head coach of the Florida Gators.
Lane Kiffin is a solid favorite at the top. When looking at the full picture, Kiffin in Gainesville makes all the sense in the world.
Jeff Brohm is a close second, and he has already taken some bets after opening with 4/1 odds.
Urban Meyer would be an exciting/interesting reunion, and he’s got lower odds than you might expect.
Jedd Fisch is a Florida alum and on the list at 10/1.
Check out the full list below, and there are also updated odds for the next coach fired.
