History will tell you that there are few coaching jobs in college football that are filled by the first coach offered. I equate an offer to an athletic department contacting the agent of a coach. AD's don't call a coach and say "hey, will you come here for $x per year". If a school is going to contact an agent, they're willing to work a deal if the interest in there.

Yep... McElwaine is the only coach that Foley has flew out to visit so far in this search. He also has a big buy out so if FL hires him than he must be well regarded. Also he's been named as a top canidate for awhile now as Muschamp's replacement.

Go Gators... :)

Of course florida always gets their first choice. Of course this guy is a homerun hire. Tell Mickey we said hello. :)

Yep.. Everybody knows that FL is one of the top jobs in the country... No mickey... You can look it up... :)
 
22-16 in three seasons?

OK :D !

BTW, looks like he is being required to keep some of the defensive staff in place at UF. That might work, and it might not. If Muschamp ends up a DC somewhere, he may want some of those guys.

Let's be fair. He has 10 wins this year. Nevermind that the collective record of those 10 opponents is 44-77! :D In his 3 years at CSU has he beaten a ranked team? Or even a good team? Not that I can tell, but he must be a homerun hire because florida always gets their first choice. It's the best job in the country! :D

:)
 
Florida can hire anyone! And fans will say that it was there top of the list guy all along and this guy is a homerun. Watch
 
So fans really think the CSU coach that has a OK record. Is UF top coach they want over anyone else??? Im not buying it they would be ALOT of guys they would take over him juat the guys dont wanna move. I know they never offered freeze but i bet if freeze said he was available then they would take him in a heart beat but he stayed in Mississippi.
Same goes for alot of other guys fans can say CSU coach is the top of floridas list and he might be the only one they offer. But I believe they would take a handful of guys over him that dont wanna go to UF and they know that so they have not made offers to them or wont, so if the csu is the only coach UF offers it makes him the best guy for the job and the one florida wanted all along?? Not buying it.
 
Chip kelly probably just wants to get paid just a guess but my point is

Gundry
Freeze
Chip kelly
and more guys

UF would take over an CSU coach who has a 7.5 MILLION buy out and and ok record at COLORADO?

But not a single other person that rumors have been spread about look like they care about the UF job and the CSU guy has been the only one seemed to care a little

That is funny,you took the words right out of ole gators mouth!lol
 
Gotta laugh at vol fans busting on anyone for a coaching hire.
The more I read, the funnier it gets. Is there really a difference in paying one coach $6 million to leave, then turn around and pay another $5 million to leave, versus paying $7.5 million to get one and pay $6 million to get one gone?

I'll go out on a limb and say that Jones wasn't on the top ten vol coaching list when the decision to fire Dooley was made. Nobody knew who he was and you guys played his Bearcats.

looks like the vols got one too. Just paying more for the same record. Must be getting used to mediocrity in knoxville.

I agree to a point and I bleed orange but they all do it. Heck when Stallings retired from bama how many head coaches did they go through before landing Saban? 3 or 4 which includes one that never coached a game due to using a university credit card at a strip club. My point is they don't always get it right the first time and pay way too much to get out. Its like a CEO running a company in the ground and then having a parachute clause that pays them millions. Its ridiculous but that's how it is.
 
There is a difference between hiring a man to coach a football team and hiring a man to completely rebuild a program. Jones was hired to rebuild UT football after falling into an abysmal dumpster fire. Butch Jones's record can not be fairly compared or contrasted to anyone else's record at this point because he's only brought in one recruiting class.

Once his Jimmmys and Joes are on campus, we'd better see a much improved win/loss record out of him. I believe wholeheartedly we will.

GO VOLS!!!!!!
 
Gravey, I'm not making fun of the way things happened or the way things are going now. It's the attitude of the screwed laughing at the chance that someone else will get screwed.

maybe tomorrow, you're good if that post tells you enough to say you know me from somewhere. You might. I've lived in the 'Boro since 1991.

Jones was hired because he was the best choice available. Any coach hired would have had to rebuild, but Jones' resume has no evidence of rebuilding anything as a head coach. He followed Brian Kelly everywhere he was hired to be the HC. I don't think Kelly is all that in the big picture, but he didn't leave a bare cupboard behind.

I agree with you on all that. There is no denying that UT football was a nightmare when he came on campus. I think Butch has things headed in the right direction.
