If so, they are rolling the dice again.  And Coach Mac is jumping in to a huge mess.

"Florida in final stages of negotiating McElwain buyout"

http://www.coloradoan.com/story/sports/csu/football/2014/12/03/jim-mcelwain-florida-buyout/19837991/

Agreement, but no contract yet.

Hangup on the deal is HUGE: The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Florida is trying to reduce the $7.5 million buyout in McElwain's contract to $3 million.

Why on God's green earth would CSU reduce the buyout?  The buyout is in place for this exact reason.

I think it has something to do with their contract. If the job was a dream job type, the buyout would be reduced.  :-\

:lol:

I was merely pointing out how ridiculous it is for UF to think that CSU would forget about the buyout.

Could be.  So I guess they can argue about whether UF is a dream job.  But usually I think those dream jobs are listed specifically to avoid such arguments.

In this case, I would characterize UF as a nightmare job, if you are not a proven head coach who can handle the pressure at this level.

Yeah they usually do list the teams. Maybe Coach Mac forget to list UF.  :unsure:

Folks have forgotten that Spurrier left UF due to the pressure and unrealistic expectations of fans & alumni.

I hope Coach Mc has a great future but he does not realize what he is getting into. Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Tenn. all have Fla on their hit list. Then comes the new sneaky peaky Mizz. Tigers. We shall see. RTR!
