For the first time in three decades, Florida is traveling to Kentucky in November. What’s even more unusual? The Gators are bringing an interim head coach.
Billy Napier was fired last month after compiling a 22-23 record over four seasons, including a 1-2 mark against Kentucky. You probably don’t know who replaced Napier to complete the season. It’s another Billy!
Billy Gonzales was the Gators’ wide receivers coach before earning the mid-season promotion to interim head coach. He’s spent 12 seasons in Gainesville over three different stints, returning ahead of the 2023 season.
