His post game he handled it real well, knowing he was fired. I would assume he was told, based on his body language and how he spoke in past tense(literally no reason to do this, unless told you are fired).
Spoke highly of the program, the kids, AND FINALLY TOOK THE BLAME FOR THE FAILURES, was a good kind of step down type conference.
Also. I think he knew he was fired post game. He is smiling with his wife and waving, but it's more of an this was fun, but it's over type smile. He pretty much knew he was done then. I think he was told it right before the press conference.
Highly doubt he isn't officially fired by Tuesday.

i still trace it back to a series of unfortunate incidents starting with the way he handled grier. i've pulled for mac by default the whole time (because i pull for the gators).
i think he knew he was screwed after the michigan game and not having any real gameplan for zaire's abilities.
on balance, mac is probably an alright guy who got too far behind the chains at one of the biggest pressure cookers in college football.

His arrogance early cost him late. The Grier situation was a massive failure. Keeping Nuss and staying the course despite it clearly not being a great system here is a big failure.
End of day though. He just isn't the right guy here. Florida needs a cocky, but adjustable coach. Spurrier and Meyer are obvious examples. Spread offense is a must as well. If we go pro style again I will kick a kitten.

Well the departure might not be as pleasant as that smiling face he had with his wife post game. Remember this, HE paid half of his buyout to leave Colorado State and might still be paying it. The university would lose in court trying to dismiss him with cause...trust me on that. First of all he was very vague about threats to be begin with and there isn't anyway the school would prevail in court...and it would be a messy divorce...we don't need that.
His agent and lawyers will get as much as they can for his buyout and could rightfully demand it all. The most likely scenario is that they agree to a long term payout so the school doesn't have to shell out a huge sum right away. They both win that way and avoid litigation.
A new top notch coach recruit is going to be scared off if news reports come out that the school is fighting a buyout. It would not be a good look and a new HC would demand protection for his buyout and make it ironclad. Agents would also view UF in a dim light if we tried to avoid a full payout and any future coaches, basketball, baseball, tennis or badminton would be handled with trepidation by agents. More to this than most realize.

It was a series of unfortunate mistakes for Mac.
But the problem with his mistakes, is that they permeated all parts of his program. Recruiting mistakes, staff hiring mistakes, personnel decision mistakes, discipline mistakes, game management mistakes.
I don't know if any one mistake was truly huge at the time he made it, but taken all together, they sunk him.
The next coach, depending on the 18 class, will come in with a decent roster, but again, no QB.

It was always going to be a longterm payout, his buyout is paid out over the length remaining on his contract.
I think this ultimately ends up in a settlement, don't think he'll end up with more than half of his buyout.

Did you mean to say coach and recruit? Because recruits won't give a shite what happens to his buyout. I don't think a coach will care either because if you breach a contract, you nullify said contract. Telling lies is a big no no.
Now, it will be up to UF's lawyers to figure out how much is it worth to fight or just settle. I say pay him and move the hell on but it's not my money, although I'd send some just to get rid of his arse.
