The alternative of giving a coach more time and then cutting bait could set a program back 4-6 yrs.


I can see UF 86’ing Billy at the end of the year.


$31m is chump change in today’s major. CFB.

It isn't even half of Jimbo's buyout.

No it isn’t. And how many other staff members have to be paid out too?

And are they still making any buyout payments to Mullen ? That is another factor. The only thing I could see forcing their hand is if the buyout doesn’t really decrease.

And they are going to fire a coach after a season and a half, maybe two, then allow the same dumbass AD to decide on the new one? Money guys won’t kick into the fund unless dipshit is gone , I’m sure.

Jimmy Sexton doing work.

He’s the real MVP to the majority of SEC coaches.

I’m loving all of this. It’s a big frick you to all the assholes in our fan base that wanted LSU to hire a coach from ULaLa and thought he would turn out better than the guy who came from Notre Dame. Sunbelt Billy will be at William and Mary next season.

That completely sucks for UF but then again, giving out such a huge contract to OJT type of coach wasn't wise.

Still feel sorry for my UF baws though.

Florida isn’t going to pay a 31m buyout.

How much did they pay Mullen?

Don’t forget they rushed to hire billy as well. Their AD needs to go ASAP.

Brian Kelly took over a team that had like 30 scholarship players in a bowl game with no QB available and won the SEC West.

Good coaches can turn shite around QUICKLY.

What are you doing? We want Billy to stay at UF as long as possible.

the sad thing is that it only goes down to 26mil after the '24 season. there's no falloff on the buyout. it only goes down incrementally, year to year. if they're gonna fire him, may as well do it after this year unless they just wanna wait it out.
