Billy Napier and the Florida Gators kicked off their 2024 season with an embarrassing, 41-17, loss at home to No. 19 Miami on Saturday in a game that never felt as close as that lopsided final score.

Moments after the final whistle things got even more humiliating for Napier as cameras caught him struggling to open a water bottle while talking to the media about his team's dreadful performance against the Hurricanes.

This isn't a huge deal, of course, but it is still a tough look for a coach who might be sitting on the hottest seat in all of college football.
