I will step down as head coach of the Florida Gators if he is not fired because of a disagreement with a key player.

This list marks a change of direction for myself and many others. We expect victories and results, and we expect them all right now. As with all occupations, it happens at the wrong time and too soon for some people, but we rarely think to ourselves with patience that someone might have been fired too soon.

Despite the fact that most of these guys were fired due to a poor season, I could argue for all five of them based on their prior work. There is undoubtedly background in this situation, and trends must be taken into account, but to what extent is up for discussion. I contend that the following five coaches were let go too soon or unfairly.

Rick Stockstill was let go during the summer, making him the most recent termination on the list. When he took over a program that was struggling decades ago, he added relevancy and stability. It is a difficult place to win, and in his eighteen years, he performed admirably. Despite having two winning seasons and bowl appearances prior, 2023 had a dismal 4-8 record. In his eighteen years, he appeared in ten bowl games. Without him, this program would be bogged down in conflict and insignificance.
