Some of them might be worth that, most are way over paid. Surely there are some good coaches that were Gators that actually might care about UF.

Nuss isn’t paid like a top-flight coordinator. That’s good news I guess.

Scott Frost and his entire staff currently make roughly half that.

Can't we do better with the money we are spending anyway :whistle:

In all seriousness, you can't tell me that the Gators would be any worse if Nuss and Nord were dismissed and their jobs were simply absorbed by the other coaches. What those two guys especially are doing by taking that money is nothing but downright theft at this point. There should be arrests.

Reading that made me want to puke. I've never been one of those guys who thinks rich people just got more breaks and life is unfair but Jim fcking McElwain leads a charmed life.

Let this paragraph of sadness sink in. Hell of a list of perks for humiliating the program.

If McElwain doesn't beat at least two of the trio of UGA, South Carolina, or FSU he should pay UF back because the dude ain't worth it.

When people whine about keeping Mac because of the cost of his buyout, they need to understand that we are paying far more by keeping him. Especially when coupled with the negative effects that he is having on the program and the Gators brand. His buyout is chump change in comparison.

That's a pretty typical package for an SEC coach. Now if we could get more for the dollar.
