McElwain to be next Florida coach (merged)

[99gator]

UAA basically paying him 4mil per.
3.5 salary and 500,000 buyout.

Which probably still puts him in the bottom half of SEC head coach salaries

 

[Gramps]

Like the hire.

We might be able to get a first down now.

Yep he is a good hire a definite upgrade, IMO.

 

[99gator]

Buyout info....

Florida pays 3 million
Florida pays 2 million for a home game with Colorado State between 2017-2020.
McElwain pays 2 million

 

[kcvols1]

Tutored Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron to become NFL prodigies.

Wut?

Don't you mean "students at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting?"

CSU: “We need the full buyout.”
Jeremy Foley: “I have Aaron Hernandez’s phone number.”
CSU: “Yeah, um, 2 million works."

UF on installments to CSU. Lol. It sounds better to the average joe but if for some reason this guy got into NCAA trouble or just flopped imagine making payments of one form or another into 2020.

Athletic department is one of the few that operates in the black.

Or was.

 

[SGMVols]

Florida could hire Dooley and we still would never beat them.

 

[99gator]

Or was.

Money is not an issue. Part of the reason facilities are what they are is Florida doesn't borrow money like crazy to build a weight room that can be seen from space.

As such, Florida has money.

They don't have a team bus with alligator skin seats, but they have money.

 

[volsportsfan]

If I'm CSU I hire Will Muschamp. Would be a good hire for them. Their defense would be top notch and Muschamp gets a job where he can grow ( specially on the offensive side of the ball ) without all the pressure that comes with being in the sec. I think its a home run hire.

God forbid Florida play an OOC game outside of the state of Florida...Funny they make CSU come to Gainesville

 

[Burger]

If I was CSU, I would make Florida pay interest.

Old southern money. Genteel. Not ostentatious like the trashy nouveau riche.

Sounds like the antithesis of everything the state of Florida stands for.

You don't mind spending it on coaches with fluffy hair though.

Real easy when all the rivals you have are in the conference.

And the other teams in your own state are a joke.

We happen to have two programs in the state that have combined for 8 national titles in the last 32 years.

Really catch a break having to play a team that is ranked annually and a national title contender 75% of the time over the last 25 years.

If anyone on this board can name me one good player McElwain has recruited from the state of Florida, I'll send a cookie your way.

He didn't have to at CSU. Took a group of 3* and 2* kids and turned them into winners.

You make a very valid point but Miami isn't the Miami they used to be and FSU really got very good again within the last 3 years. As far as National titles go, they've won a combined 3 since 1999 and FSU won 99 and Miami 2000...so in the last 13 years they've won a combined 1. FSU is a very tough OOC game but Miami really isn't anymore

 

[orangeluvr]

We are going to miss him here in Ft Collins!!

Bo Pellini is popping up in conversation on Denver Sports Radio.

Pellini was fired after seven 9-3 seasons, AD said "We weren't good enough in the games that mattered." :blink:
