Bye-bye Billy. We’ve been writing about Florida coach Billy Napier’s employment status for two years now, but this has the makings of being his final game. It’s homecoming in Gainesville, which means a loss would almost certainly seal Napier’s fate. Even though the Gators are favored by more than a touchdown, the Bulldogs are much-improved under coach Jeff Lebby.
