This also goes to show how risky it is for a head coach to be a strict disciplinarian if you don't win after suspending your starters. Based on what I read it was the old text book thing.....like they did at bama several years ago....and far as I recall nobody got suspended though bama did get some probation. That might have been the choice at UF.....hammer the violators or do like bama and mostly let it slide and eat some probation. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can not field a team full of redshirt 5th year senior linemen any more. Too much money temptation out there these days to keep kids around that long. Nebraska, and Florida's recruiting base in incomparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the chatter on sports talk Nebraska is pretty far down the list of programs these days.....very hard place to recruit to....put them in with Miss State or Ole Miss maybe. Nobody hardly, except older alums, remember when they were a major force.....and they play in the weak half of the Big 10 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read they were going to try for the "cause" excuse because of his comments to the media about threats before he told them....don't think that will go far but worth a try. Something to negotiate over... Including the buyout that UF reportedly paid to Col State on his behalf when he arrived. He's been a very expensive coach considering what he achieved.

I think they realized fairly quickly that they could not fire him for cause. According to the Florida AD, they reach some kind of mutual agreement, but I didn't get to see if they disclosed the details of the agreement. You are certainly correct he has been very expensive. Football coaching has got to be one of the only jobs that I know of where you can get paid millions of dollars not to work. must be a good Gig if you can get it!

WeagleAU 594 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 McElwain and Gus are very similar. Both did very well as OCs, but not so well as HCs. McElwain could never win the games that mattered. Same as Gus. Everybody talks about McElwain being the first coach to win the SEC East division his first two years (mind you the East has been pathetic at best). And that made him successful? McElwain went 22-12 with the Gators, but that included 4-9 against ranked teams. Hardly successful in my book. Gus is in the same situation as McElwain faced (minus the “death threat” lies and shark pic). And like McElwain, it is time for Gus to put up or get out.

It is hard to really pick who in the top tier schools are better than that others. My top tier group would be: Top tier: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Lsu, Uga....Next UT, TAMU, Ark.....Next OM, Usc, Msu...last...KY, VU & Mizzou Mullen will stay at MSU most likely. Look for UF to go after a young and up and coming coach. I'm pretty sure Mullen is only 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logically, I agree. But, if he wants to compete for championships, it won't be at MSU. Edit: won't compete at MSU (not Florida) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullen would not be a bad choice for UF and who knows with all of the insanity this season seems to be throwing in our direction, he could be in line for that gig.

PigskinPat 2,704 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Have they named Randy Shannon as the interim coach? I’d love to see Spurrier in that spot to finish out the season. I think it would be kind of cool that he could finish his head coaching career as a gator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd4au 1,145 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 McElwain getting canned not a big shock, but what is UT waiting on with Jones? That's is what I don't understand, he is the worst coach in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
