Florida offers Hugh Freeze $4.2M

Now Cowherd is getting ready to talk about Kelly to Florida.

 

If Kelly was struggling a la Spurrier with the Redskins I would buy it. But he's 9-3, leading the division, and his offense is starting to hit on all cylinders. I just don't buy it at all.

 

he doesn't strike me as a quitter either.

 

Nope.

Plus, he's making $6.5M. I mean, Florida would have to pay him much more than Saban to get him there. Other than it makes for a good "wow" story, I just don't see it.

 

Breaking -

Forde says a jet is en route to Ft. Collins.

 

doesn't he have like a $7 mil buyout?

 

7.5M to be exact.

 

I really don't think McElwain will leave. He really seems to like where he's st and the school is upgrading everything for him.

 

Colorado Springs? Calhoun?

 

Colorado State is in Ft Collins.

 

you certainly wonder why he'd sign a contract with such a ridiculous buyout if he had any intention of taking another job.

 

Sorry, Ft. Collins.

I'll edit.

 

Suspect things went better than expected.

 

Maybe to virtually guarantee his next job? I don't know. Maybe he figured if someone was willing to buy him out of his current gig, they'd be too poor to fire him for a while.

 

My gator buddy texted me earlier saying he's heard they'll announce McElwain as coach on Thursday.

 

If true that is kind of brilliant.

 

team meeting called for Colorado state. uh oh.

 

I don't know about McElwain. He's plenty good enough to beat the brakes off of us for the coming years, but man. Does this hire really scare you if you're Georgia or South Carolina or Mizzou for that matter? I guess it depends on who they hire for coordinators, but last I heard Durkin was staying on, and without Muschamp preaching a physical nature on both sides of the ball, do they stay as imposing on defense as they have been?

 

Durkin is a fantastic coach. He's also one of the best recruiters in the country.

 

they don't play anyone. urban meyer at Utah this ain't.
