Will Muschamp fired?

[Bonehead]

No way, they will never have another season like this. They are all 5th year seniors, Dak is leaving. This is Mullen's shot, and he knows it. He gone.

Edit: MSU is also very far behind UF in money. UF has the richest (or 2nd now with Bama's resurgence) AD in the SEC.

I am 50/50 on Dak leaving - the lose 6 on O and 7 on D I think - we will revisit after the coaching carousel is over.

Muschamp will coach final 2 regular season games but not bowl. Muschamp’s last game at FSU - UF last team to beat FSU

It just makes sense to me. BC faces the same recruiting challenges as any other northeast team. Their support is limited, at best. And he's won with a plethora of 5th year transfer types the past few seasons (i.e. - not a bunch of young recruits who will be there for years). He's always been noted as a great recruiter and motivator. If FL wants to make a bigger offensive splash, then they might have to cycle through the higher profile OCs around the country. But if the money doesn't match, I think Addazio would be a good hire. Brings back a former Gator to Gainesville and puts him into the heart of very fertile recruiting grounds for him to mine.

But maybe I'm just pushing this because I'd like to see BC take a few steps back again.

You probably are not familiar with how SA left his OC position at Florida. For some weird reason, he was VERY unpopular with the fans/alums so I find it hard to believe they would entertain brining him back as the HC.

Anyways, I do find it interesting that the conventional wisdom on here at the time SA was hired at BC was that he was a mediocre and uninspiring hire. Now he is mentioned by some here for every major opening that comes up (Michigan, Florida, etc.)

Honest question.....the conventional wisdom on here when BD was hired by Uconn was that that Uconn had the much better coach. Question, knowing what you know now, if you had the choice of either SA or BD for your program, who would you take?

(FWIW, I think your last sentence is spot on. )

Of course we have the better coach - He is a past Broyles Award winner...

Hey SMU is looking for a program builder aren't they?

I'm calling it now. Stoops is going to leave Oklahoma for this gig. It's time.

I think that is only true in an at will severance agreement. These contracts are typically guaranteed service agreements. For instance Uconn was on the hook for ever none of former "Coach" Pasqualoni's buyout, regardless of the fact he is now in the employ of the Chicago Bears. It was written into the deal.

Same thing happened with Schottenheimer when he was fired by the Daniel Snyder in the the early 2000s.

Yup...

Will Muschamp will get a buyout worth about $6.3M from Florida, which WILL NOT be reduced even when he gets another job.

Great deal for him. They must have really wanted to get rid of him.

You're right - I have/had no idea how he left UF. All I was going on was his ability to completely turn around two struggling northeast programs without the best of recruiting areas. I reckon he'd do some magic coaching somewhere in the south. Kids seem to love him. But yeah, if he was run out of town there, then that would cut his chances. Maybe he will hop on the coaching carousel to go somewhere else. Please?

There are tons of UCONN fans who wanted Hathaway to try to fleece Temple when Edsall quit. Temple beat us to him by a few weeks thanks to Randy's covert Maryland dealings. Had Randy left in early December like everyone else, I think we would have hired him. But then again, we are talking about Jeff Hathaway - perhaps the worst AD of all time. He still may have wound up hiring PP.

Maybe. I certainly think he has probably done all that he can at OU. I just think it's unusual for a guy to leave one really good head coaching job for another, but we will see. One thing is for sure, they are nervous in Gainesville right now as they have slipped quite a bit from the recent glory days and fallen behind their two big rivals in state and are really behind FSU.
