Job security has no guarantees in coaching football in the SEC:

Billy Napier ousted at UF, who's next in the wild and crazy SEC?:

Flash Thoughts:
  Billy Napier walked off the "Swamp" Saturday for the final time with the Florida Gators escaping an upset by Mississippi State 23 to 21.

 Morale celebration was very much the storyline following.
On Sunday, Napier was let go by the university in four seasons with unimpressive numbers for the standards at Florida, set by Steve Spurrier and later Urban Meyer and even, Dan Mullen.
Napier is the latest in SEC football coaches where job security is rather meaningless if you are not productive in the process of being successful.
Florida joins Arkansas in making coaching changes during the 2025 season.
Other programs that could be in this procedure

are Auburn, Kentucky, South Carolina and LSU in Flash's careful analysis of coaching in the best conference in the sport from the top to the bottom.
The sport of college football lives on a separate island than others.
In my true analysis, the greatness of what Nick Saban did at Alabama is what other programs are investing in the situation to have. 

 That's a good approach, but that is not reality.
College football is now a business. Florida will buy out Napier's contract of $21 million dollars through the next 4 years.
Florida has to be content on being such a program where money changes hands much quicker than a game of poker.
Where's do Florida go from this situation?:
  Flash cannot speak for Athletic Director Scott Stricklin. It will be a process with Florida trying to ride the current storm of the 2025 season at 3 & 4 and to be positive with Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Florida State still to play.
The obvious choice would be take a very good look at James Franklin, formerly of Penn State and known to SEC football with his time at Vanderbilt.
Why not Ed Orgeron? The former LSU mentor has a good background, but is he worthy to be the successor to Napier.
Lane Kiffin? I say NO. Kiffin needs to remain at Ole Miss for the fact, the Rebels are a good ball club, not yet a great one as they proved it Saturday in unable to win at Georgia.
Kiffin's ego is huge as the state of Florida. He is the king of the sport currently in the Magnolia State and will never be considered anything above Spurrier, Meyer and Mullen if he was to leave the Grove and come to the Swamp.
Other names from programs across the country have been mentioned by very popular media outlets.
There's one thing for sure, a job as an athletic director in the Southeastern Conference has no dead time when the person in these head positions report to the office every day.
For the present time, Kalen DeBoer is making his point of resurrecting Alabama following the Tide's blunder in Tallahassee on opening day.
The Tide took a good look at themselves and have shown they are a solid squad for how they performed against Tennessee on the 3rd Saturday of October.
It was a percentage of what the Tide did and part of it was Tennessee's inability to execute.
Fans and certain media wanted DeBoer to be booted out of T-town right after.
Those certain types are now eating crow.
SEC football is plenty of pleasure, but also the consumption from the fan standpoint, media people as well in letting a sport control your daily standards of life.
Flash likes SEC football. His love for the game has been in decline for some time especially with the ordinary human being through social media believing they are experts for those who are in the profession such as yours truly.
Yes, Flash is a FAN of the Florida Gators from when he first met Steve Spurrier at SEC media days in 1995.
Florida's victory over Texas was wonderful for I see that Texas is not an SEC school. They have a great heritage from their long time history in the Southwest Conference and later the Big XII.
The Gators were lucky against Mississippi State.
They won the game, but where will they go after Billy Napier was the latest in very good coaches from a place like the University of Louisiana to not gel into the high and might, the SEC?
