Solid hire for Florida. I'm more relieved that Chip stayed in Philly, crisis diverted

Florida had to be expected to hire a good coach, so this is fine. I'm just glad it's not Chip Kelly, even though that was a pipe dream for them.

t is unclear at this point if Florida agreed to pay the full buyout amount of the schools settled on a smaller amount.


Will be interesting to see how that was resolved. What a steep buyout for a MWC HC.

Good hire but the Gaders can't seem to make up their minds if they want an O-minded HC or a D-minded one. Maybe we can flip a coupla D 'cruits.

big question to me is more what is CWM going to do next...has anybody heard anything about him possibly going to USCe with Spurrier, that is more disturbing than the new head guy at UF imho

Buyout details are pretty crazy.

quote:

To score the Colorado State coach, the Florida Gators will pay the largest buyout ever given to another school in college football history.

Florida said Thursday that it would pay CSU a total of $5 million -- $3 million in cash over six years and another $2 million to play a football game in Gainesville in the near future.

McElwain will also pay $2 million to make for a total buyout of $7 million. -


quote:

The total $7 million buyout is seven and a half times the average buyout paid by a school to another school over the past three years. Of the 21 buyouts that were public over that time period, the average buyout was $935,786.
