Mark your calendars: The Florida Gators will officially introduce Billy Napier as the program's 28th head coach on Sunday at approximately 4:30 PM, the university announced on Friday.

Napier's introductory press conference will be held inside the new James W. “Bill” Heavener Football Complex and will be streamed across the various Gators Football social media platforms, including the team's YouTube channel.

Before fully diving in with the Gators, Napier will coach his current team, the College Football Playoff's No. 24 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, in Saturday's Sun Belt championship game against Appalachian State. Napier was named the Sun Belt's Coach of the Year on Thursday, following an 11-1 regular season performance and the team's fourth consecutive West Division title under Napier's leaderhsip.

Napier will then immediately begin his work to build up the Gators' football program the way he envisions it. Napier has yet to officially hire any coaching or recruiting assistants, but will need to quickly as the 2022 early signing period for recruiting is approaching on December 15.
