Missed this story... Georgia sure hurt Texas with passing like Florida
What Does Billy Napier's Visit to Georgia Football's Practice Mean for the Bulldogs?
Story by Christian Kirby • 4days ago
While Kirby Smart and Billy Napier competed as head coaches in Georgia and Florida's hate-filled rivalry, the two coaches have been friends for quite some time. The two even spent time together on the same staff under Nick Saban with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
But while visiting a coaching friend could easily explain Napier's appearance in Athens, there may be a deeper reason for the former Gator's presence at Georgia's practice this week. Though his 2025 season did ultimately result in his termination, Napier's Gators were just one of two teams to defeat the Texas Longhorns this season.
The Bulldogs, of course, are scheduled to face Texas this Saturday and are looking to defeat the Longhorns for the third time in two seasons. With a win, the Dawgs will have secured a 7-1 record in conference play and will be in an excellent position to reach the College Football Playoff.
While Napier could very well be assisting Georgia in scheming for the Longhorns, there have been no official reports to confirm this is the reason for his presence. However, given that Kirby Smart is notorious for leaving no stone unturned when it comes to preparing for an opponent, it is extremely plausible that this may be the case.
