Another weekend, another big name is out of a job. The first domino to fall this weekend was Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier. He leaves Gainesville with a sub-.500 record midway through his fourth season on the job. He is now the sixth Power Four head caoch to be relieved of his duties this season. We are not even to Halloween yet… All the while, Luke Fickell gets to stay leading Wisconsin.
As Napier joins the likes of DeShaun Foster, Brent Pry, Mike Gundy, Sam Pittman and James Franklin in the unemployment line, at least he was able to sort of go out on top. Yes, Napier was fired after beating the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday evening, 23-21. That was Florida’s third win of the season. The other two came against LIU and Texas. Florida lost to USF, Miami, LSU, and Texas A&M.
So what does this mean for Fickell? Well, he looks as stupid as the Wisconsin adminstration does. The man has lost five games in a row at Wisconsin, all to Power Four competition. His last four losses have all been to Big Ten teams. Whether it be Alabama, Maryland, Michigan, Iowa or Ohio State, Fickell has no remote clue how to beat a Power Four team anymore. Heck, he cannot even score any points?!…
