Florida football coach Billy Napier was asked about the tenuous nature of college coaching after three more football coaches, including Penn State's James Franklin, were fired over the weekend.

Napier also is in a perilous spot for the second straight season after the Florida Gators (2-4, 1-2 SEC) lost at No. 5 Texas A&M 34-17 on Oct. 14. The loss dropped Napier to 21-23 overall and 0-14 away from The Swamp against ranked teams.

“I don't think anything's changed," Napier said. "I think it happens every year. It's what we sign up for. They pay us. They compensate us well. So these are challenging jobs in today's climate in particular. We're all men. We’re all competitors. We understand we live in a production world and you got to produce. There's no running from that."
