Mac isn't concerned about his coaching gig here or his next coaching gig in Big Sky country.
As a fan of a Big Sky team before I moved to Gainesville in 1989, I have to say Mac has Big Sky Conference coach written all over him.

And go Lumberjacks.

I'm starting to think drawing up plays in the sand will yield better results.

If you are the AD at Oregon State, you need someone your fan base can rally behind. You can sell McElwain as:

1. A coach who has won two SEC east titles.

2. A coach who a big shot in the SEC had and was not about to fire.

3. A guy from the west coach.

4. A guy with NFL and major college experience

5. A guy with major college head coaching experience

That is not an insignificant lists of traits you can sell. Sure there are negatives we know well, but the Oregon State fans won't know them until maybe next year if they hire him.
Or the AD just sells them on the fact that they "are stealing the UF coach" I thi k they'd be happy about that.

It would be like winning the lottery if Oregon State would hire Mac. I don't see that happening.

I'm still trying to make sense of Stricklin's decision to extend Mac a year. Don't ADs who come in after the fact normally take a more measured approach? Stricklin didn't hire him.

Then what made him enamored of Mac? Was it the SEC East title? The huge bowl win? Or that Stricklin's baseline is Mississippi State?

BTW, why do we have an AD from Starkville?

He got an extension for winning an Outback Bowl. Have we really became Tennessee?

Not too long ago the Florida - Tennessee game had national implications. Now it's just a contest to see who gets fired first --- Butch or Butters. My money is on Butch to go first.

That is the Butch-Butters-Question = BBQ.

Of course it will be Butch. The only way Butters gets canned this year is if we lose out, and from what I can tell Nusschamp isn't going anywhere either because of his recruitment of Matt Corral.

The sad part is, Butch has done a better job than Mac. He took over a program in worse shape, recruited better and at least produced a functional offense most years.

I think you’re missing my point. They keep them under contract for 4 years out at all times to avoid the negative recruiting. I don’t agree with the premise, but it appears to be standard practice these days.

I can't think of a coach who's produced less with more. We've really coddled this guy. For the life of me, I can't figure out why.

Honestly, I think they’re scared to death of becoming Tennessee. I’ve got news for them...it’s already happened and they’re just in denial.

Corral is going to be an early Gator so he could be replaced after he is in school.
