Nick Saban on Billy Napier, Florida’s struggles: ‘The problem isn’t the coaches’

There is a lot of heat on Billy Napier as the Florida football program is once again struggling in 2024. Napier is clearly on the hot seat already this season, but Nick Saban believes Florida has plenty of problems other than Napier.

The former Alabama coach pointed out on ESPN College GameDay on Saturday that the Florida program has continued to struggle, no matter who the coach is, in recent years.

“Well, I think maybe the problem isn’t the coaches. You know, they’ve been through four coaches since Spurrier and Urban Meyer, who both created a tremendous culture of winning there. And sometimes the fanbase can just think ‘Well we can show up and expect to win.’ And not make the commitment to the program that you need to make to be able to continue to make the changes and investments you need to make to keep up with changing times,” Nick Saban said.

“And things change. … They should’ve taken advantage of building better facilities when Urban Meyer was there. What’s there collective been like? How have they adapted to this new model of college football? So it’s not just the coaches. When you’ve been through four coaches that haven’t had success, there’s something else that people should be looking at.”
