Outside of USC head coach Shane Beamer, there is no other head coach in the SEC with stronger ties to the Palmetto State than first year Florida coach Billy Napier. He played his college football at Furman. His first coaching job was on the Buddy Pough staff at SC State. And he was an offensive coordinator at Clemson for Dabo Swinney. After a very successful run at Louisiana where he was 40-12, Napier is ready to step up onto the big stage of the SEC.
