-Do y'all feel if Foley knew McElwain had that crazy $7 million buyout he would have still pursued him?

-Follow up question if no: If Foley wouldn't have been caught in the livingroom of McElwain by the press do yall think he would have backed out when he learned the buy-out? Like if it was all in secret.

-I got a feeling that McElwain didn't even know he was locked in with such a huge buyout. Am I correct in your opinion?

Absolutely he knew. Everyone on Florida message boards knew, so I'm pretty darn sure he had to know. I believe Foley strongly believes in up and coming coaches (Billy D home run). I really think he saw the same thing in Boom (big mistake), and now coach Mac. Just observing the way Mac has made his coaching staff hires makes me think we are in good hands. We will see.

-Most of the time "destination" jobs are the last major stop in college for a college coach- either you flop so hard you are at a mid major or you do so well the NFL hires you. Yet in the last month-ish we have watched one former UF coach win a title, and another was seen as the biggest splash hire of the SEC offseason. Heck, even Spurrier didn't take up his old visor after the NFL. What is it about UF that makes it such an unstable place for coaches in your opinion?

Urban's leaving the program has been discussed. Muschamp was fired THANK GOD. There is a lot of pressure to win at FL. I think the OBC was young enough at the time he let the pressure get to him, and left. I don't think he was offered the job back when Zook left.

-UF has watched FSU turn into what is easily the most corrupt program in college football. I personally think the police department defending their QB is worse than anything Miami did. Does it make yall nevious to have such a loose cannon (in such a weak conference) going off in your state? Do yall have some plan, via investigative reporting or some political power play, to bring them back to a level playing field?

I really doesn't make me nervous. Miami imploded after years of Shapiro. FSU will have to pay for it's transgressions. The woman who alleges Winston raped her is now suing FSU. There is a second woman now making claims as well. Someone will eventually talk. And recruits who are willing to go to FSU because they know their transgressions will get covered are not the kind of recruits I personally want at UF. Recruits from good families will prefer UF over FSU. Mac understands that he needs to recruit FL first- something Boom was too stupid to realize. I believe our recruiting should greatly improved. The coaches hired are great recruiters.

I hope that helps.
