I don't get it....it's absolutely outrageous. Mac was more than just bad at his job - he set the program back YEARS with his incompetence. There was no discipline and no accountability from either the coaches or players; it was a failure at every level. He's a thief for accepting his salary, much less that ridiculous buyout.
UF should have given him nothing and said "sue me". I guarantee it would have cost them less than 7.5 million in the lawsuit. The evidence would have clearly shown he didn't fulfill his contractual obligations.
In the meantime, Mac is sitting on a pile of 100 dollar bills on a porch in Sh!tstain, Montana right now living it up. Screw you, Mac - I hope you choke on that money.
