Legendary Florida Gators coach Steve Spurrier always has interesting insights whenever he speaks with the media. Among Spurrier’s favorite things to do is to criticize the Georgia Bulldogs, especially in the offseason.
Spurrier, who is a paid University of Florida ambassador, is not particularly confident in the Gators entering spring practice. Florida head coach Bill Napier enter the spring with one of the hottest seats in the country. Napier does not have an easy task ahead. The Gators have the nation’s toughest schedule that features a five-game stretch against Georgia, at Texas, LSU, Ole Miss, and at Florida State to end the season.
Napier and Florida would be doing well to make it to a bowl game this year. Pressure is mounting in Gainesville, Florida, as the Gators need to show some promise this fall in order for Napier to keep his job.

“I think Georgia has done the best job of spending their millions. I give them credit. They spread it out. Everybody’s happy there,” said Steve Spurrier. It has to be painful for Spurrier to say something like that. Spurrier, who despises Georgia, must have not liked seeing the Dawgs win back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022.

It is understandable that Spurrier is down a little bit on Florida. The Gators have not had a winning season since 2020 and with such a challenging schedule in 2024, making a bowl game is no guarantee.
“There’s a feeling around the Gators of ‘what the heck are we doing?’ There’s a lot of questions that I don’t have the answers to about organization,” said Spurrier.
