Florida has hired Louisiana-Lafayette’s Billy Napier to be the Gators’ next football coach. The move ends a quick process that landed Florida its top target. The 42-year-old Napier will remain with the Ragin Cajuns this week as they prepare to host Appalachian State in the Sun Belt Conference championship game Saturday. Florida scheduled an introductory news conference with Napier for Dec. 5. He will take over for Dan Mullen, who was last Sunday after the team’s fourth loss in five games. Napier is 39-12 in four seasons at ULL.
