I don’t think he was any worse then Muschamp. Muschamp took over a team that had more offensive talent then he left . Then Mac did the same thing with the defense. Muschamp had a better situation coming in after Meyer .
I agree, but I do think the hire itself made sense. He was young, up and coming and fit the mold of other successful UF coaches. I think Foley got into his head a bit with the Mac hire. He’s really the outlier in that he didn’t have any of the attributes Foley usually looked for in a UF head coach (in any sport). It was an odd choice for him.

What didn't make sense about Muschamp is he had never been a head coach before, and UF seems like the kind of program where learning on the job wouldn't be wanted. We has a head coach in waiting though, so it wasn't completely crazy.
McElwain was a better hire on paper until you get to the buyout. I still can't believe Foley gave Colorado St. like $7 million worth of shite just because he didn't get that social media is a thing. Talk about a windfall for someone else fricking up at their job....
