@ThomasGoldkamp: Shannon is owed $2.025 million by the #Gators, but that figure will be offset by his UCF salary if he takes that job.

Apparently Randy gets to make his own hires?

UCF: Source tells FootballScoop “Randy Shannon is bringing Corey Bell” to UCF as well.

I already acknowledged that he is getting buyout money...as I already said, at some point in the near future, the buyout $ in addition to the lower salary from UCF becomes less than what he would get at a bigger, better job. Hence my comment that he likely would be a short termer if for no other reason than economics. He’s also not building UCF up. He’s following a guy who went 12-0 and left for a bigger job. UCF also had quite a bit of success not too long ago before the winless season a few years back. Lastly, the SOS example isn’t comparable...UT is one of SOS’s all mater’s biggest rivals. Sumlin’s a Purdue grad, no rivalry between those 2 schools.

We disagree which is fine, I insist that money can't just buy whatever coach you might want. The SOS was just an example, perhaps he loves Florida, or hates it.

UCF is about to become UF Orlando. I hope they take this year's results with them.

His mind and recruiting aren't what they used to be. We saw that first hand.

Interesting that you mention his mind. Has anybody else looked at Randy and noticed that he has a “vacant”, for lack of a better word, expression on his face? Maybe CTE or something? And I’m not trying to be funny saying this...he just appears so emotionless. I dunno, maybe he’s always had that personality?

Orlando CC goes to the Big 12 well again. How long before we see Bobby Douglass as coach?
