Sounds like the new CSU athletic administration is willing to allow McElwain to leave without too much of a fight. Probably feels they are paying him too much- 15 million guaranteed over ten years?

This is probably close to a done deal if all the minor details are worked out...McElwains attorney will review contract wording today and there will be give and take....we already know McElwains attorney is a smooth guy.
There is no way Foley would have flown out to Ft Collins to interview McElwain if the coach hadn't already proclaim an eagerness to be UFs new HC...why set yourself up for a turn down? It means that McElwain has already had that all important talk to his wife and his children may be all grown now or close to it.
They probably have tired of the snow skiing and ready for water skiing. Believe McElwain is a Montana guy...but obviously he has coached in the SEC and knows what fanatic fans are like. We need to keep Durkin and a few other coaches on the staff..but offensively there isn't anyone I feel strongly about. Chris Leak needs to get more experience at another school and maybe become an OC eventually.
Im sure McElwain will have some of his staff follow him and that's part and parcel of the details being ironed out now...he should feel comfortable with a staff that will make or break his tenure.
Worse case scenario is that minor details become big details and we come up empty handed. That would be major suckage.
