    I agree Wanne, but just because paying the top coaches 9-10 mil a year and guarantee that for 10 years has become the norm it doesn’t mean it even approaches sanity.

    True, he could have gone through the motions until he got fired.

    Regardless of our opinion of the guy and his misdeeds he meets the written qualifications for his name to be up there. He deserves it IMO.

    Maybe he means the island basement. I get it. He’s frustrated. But man look in the mirror. Got a new catchphrase for ya. Money talks and BS walks. He cooked the goose when he smacked back believed himself to be an offensive genius and refused to hire a competent OC. Tell ya what Scott can hire me. 100k I’ll be CEO. Split HC salary between Coordinators cuz I’m going to Tiffany for the rings. They give me garbage on the field they get the can. Bulls can give me the CC cuz I’m off to Cartier for the rest of the studs. I’ll consult my fellow armchair qbs for feedback and if I do worse than Scared $$$, I’ll can myself. Done.

    Well I would do this. Except Dan man. I can’t. He treated us like a joke. But I would go get Urbs. Less stress Urban. Just paint Picasso on the offense. Im going to Cartier with a blank check for your playaz. Well we got DJ. I’ll get the beef.

    You do know Urban has never been an offensive coordinator? He went from being a Wr's coach to head coach. He has always had an OC that has gone on to become a HC.

    I can go either way on it. I do question his integrity and that’s in the definition of honor. I think UF tries to keep a little integrity that some schools quickly cast aside if it means winning. Spurrier has always represented that ideal quite well. Tebow too.

    It’s definitely some bs but it’s also a requirement to sign a top ten coach. List the top ten guys and none will even entertain anything different. It’s craziness but it’s also reality. Or take Chadwell. He may come for 6-7 mill with a smaller boyout. Kiff would have two years ago but his stock has soared into another realm. His next job will be a huge check if he wins 10 games this year and leaves. He’s losing a lot of players this year though and could be next years fsu. He better strike while the irons hot though as this could be his one chance at a 100 mil contract. Ten wins and mark my words, 100 mil.

    Yeah true. But he’s an offensive minded coach. He could do it Im sure. Sure as —ll be better than Billy. I just don’t think he’s strong enough to HC again. I’d love it if he could run for 10 good years or say. And yes he deserves the ROH.

    Each year contracts are more. 10 mil is the new 6 mil. Anyone that isn’t on that list you provided is a reach. Getting a guy on that list would require upping the ante. None of those guys are trading their situation for an emblem on a helmet.

    He makes 7 million at Fox. I highly doubt he would take a pay cut to OC at UF.

    I didn’t say nothing about a pay cut LOL Just the credit card. Then we have an interim too.

    We all wanted a CEO thought we were getting a CEO type.
    By staying OC and QB coach, we didn’t get a CEO and other things fall unnoticed. But hiring your LA Buds will fix it.

    What has Kelly done in the past to warrant interest in that man? LSU would love to have a do-over for a NEW HEAD FOOTBALL coach. He's LSU's problem, and I would flip-out if we hired that nothing coach. Not interested in him at all.

    Disconnected from reality, emotionless, loves buzz words, process oriented, big picture future focused, golden parachute... sounds like a CEO to me.
