Billy Napier's $21.2 million buyout ranks sixth in college football history

Billy Napier's severance from Florida ranks sixth among the largest coaching buyouts in college football history, totaling $21.2 million. Dismissed in October 2025 after a 3-4 start, Napier's overall record at Florida stood at 22-23. The buyout reflects the financial impact of moving on from underperforming coaches, particularly in the Southeastern Conference, which dominates the top 10 buyout list. Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher holds the highest buyout at $77.6 million. Following Napier's exit, Jon Sumrall has taken over the program, generating optimism for the team's future.
