He better hire some recruiters on his staff. 2014 class ranked 86 and 84 in 2013. Even in talent rich Florida, that's not going to be good enough. Plus there is the risk that when this type hire gets fired, he leaves the cupboard bare.

I think it's more about the ADs being lazy.

This is going to be the trend going forward. More schools can afford to pony up and keep a coach they like. The big programs can't just outspend everyone like it used to be. On top of that, expectations at the big schools are such that it is increasingly not worth it to go to a pressure cooker of a program and risk getting fired in a couple of years when you've got a comfortable gig that is paying a competitive salary.

Only one I'm interested in seeing right now is who Michigan lands.

Maybe not...but, thus far, looks like a good year to be a coach with ties to Bama...
I think McElwain could do well at UF...the Riley hire surprised me though...he'd done well at Oregon State for a while, but I'd read where he was kinda on the hot seat there this year...
