My favorite is that they think Dan lanning would leave a better job at a big ten institution for them. I also like that they think lane kiffin would make a backwards move in conference!!

Lanning or Kiffin aren't touching UF for under $12M+ a year, even then they might say no.

It's G5 route for the gaytors again!!
 
What? You mean to tell me there aren't any billionaires that went to Buchholz? Not even any fake billionaires willing to rile up attention? They didn't have the cunning nerve to create a health system that would take advantage of the pandemic just to become an athletics slush fund?

Sucks to be them.

I hate UF but, come on, it's a better job than Ole Miss and not only because of state laws

Historically, UF *was* a better job, but thats not true anymore. I would argue that in today's world, Ole Miss is the better job, equal or even better pay, much less pressure, less competition from in state programs, etc. etc. And lets not forget, Oxford supposedly has the prettiest women in the SEC.

to be fair, it probably still is a better job. But more pressure.

I’m not so sure in the new college playoff world. With 12 teams, a team like ole miss could absolutely sneak in to the playoffs. And just being there would make you a legend

agreed.

If the 12 team was this year, they would be in it. they were 11-2 and the only losses were to Baga and Jawja.

I think they are further along than the lizards, considering Kiffin got there in 2020.

It's even more complicated than that.

When you BUY OUT a coach who is already under contract, you have to pay the GROSSED UP income-tax value of the buyout. If another coach had a $10M buyout, he needs $10M AFTER-TAX to buy himself out of his contract. Thus, you have to pay the coach $15M so that he will have $10M AFTER-TAX to pay his former employer.

I've said it before, with what Florida will need to spend in "commitments" to a new coach willing to take over that ****-hole, the number will likely exceed $100M. I realize that they already built the new Athletic Department facility, and the updates to The Swamp are astronomical, but the new coach is going to ask for various expenditures for recruiting that go beyond "Dave & Busters" and "rental G-wagons".

With the “grossed up” it becomes $70 million just to get a new coach in the door and like you said any qualified coach is going to have some demands to entice him to take job. Your $100 million estimate is probably right in line.

How is it "still a better job"? Because Gator fans keep repeating that?

Since SOS left Hogtown:

Ron Zook
Urban Meyer
Will Muschamp
Jim McElwain
Dan Mullen
Slingblade Billy Napier

That is FIVE failed coaches, and one coach who won at every college job he ever took. Therefore, the Florida job didn't "make" Urban Meyer.

The Pros:
+++Flagship University of Titletown
+++SEC membership
+++Jordan school
+++Past glory (sandwiched between long periods of being mediocre-to-terrible)
+++Recent improvement to admin/training facilities

The Cons:
---Aging, outdated stadium that might be renovated in the future
---Unrealistic fanbase with ridiculous expectations when results are not immediate, year-over-year, and/or lasting
---The booster support is not nearly as strong as it should be, given their history and the relative wealth of alums
---The Gator "brand" is definitely overrated, it is strong in Florida and, literally, nowhere else in the USA
---Recent underwhelming history when it comes to NIL promises and payments
---Sub-par record of NFL draft choices performing in the pros (and NFL Hall-of-Famers), compared to the number of victories posted since the 1980s
---Eclipsed by state schools in the two states that border Florida, and routinely eclipsed by two (or more) Florida-based schools
---Coaching pay has never been "we will outbid all competitors" and assistant coaching pay has NOT been good, historically
---Besides Urban Meyer, no Florida coach has had a solid career post-Florida, so you need to be prepared to retire in Hogtown
---The reality that the name of your hamlet was once Hogtown
---The reality that the next largest population center beyond Hogtown is THE VILLAGES
---The reality that Hogtown is one of the least charming college towns in the southeastern United States
