Coach in waiting at TX when they were really good and then FL came calling. He decided not to wait
Agreed. If they stop witch hunt and pay his buyout it wont hurt them much. If they negate his buyout, potential coaches will be weary.
Point being if UF is able to hire a big time HC because of money and recruiting, why did they hire a non-HC? That's risky. Money and recruiting is available at lots of places. Coaches will not be lining up to coach at a place that is doing what UF is doing to Mac.
