He's seeing the writing on the wall....First he'll be forced to fire Nuss....then, well we know what happens then.
There's 600 of us on this board and despite a decent percentage of posters wearing Orange and Blue glasses there isn't a single one who still believes that this Butters experiment will turn out right.....I doubt many if ANY of the players feel much differently than we do. In fact it wouldn't shock me at all if we started hearing and seeing some frustration spill over from players toward each other or the coaches by about the 4th or 5th game...Anyone got Petrino's number?How do you fire a guy you just extended and look your players in the face? I believe in this guy so much that I demanded he get an extension then you backtrack like that? I am sure confidence in him is eroding day by day.
You can always count on Swamp Ass to make you laugh...from one of the chief pumpers...
"I agree his demeanor was very subdued.
But...no one here knows how much sleep he has had over the past 4 days.
I can tell you I am a bit exhausted for the past 4 days...dealing with Irma and I don't have anywhere near the responsibilities of Coach McElwain....not even close!
Just my opinion but I think you have to cut the guy some slack here and empathize with his situation more than bag on him.
Just my 2 cents....."
I think it's always more of perception than reality when handing out extensions. The money is nowhere near as tight as they pretend it is. You never want to go through a mediocre season and have every coach in America be able to point to the fact your school hasn't and won't offer this coach a longer deal and it's obvious he won't be around long. It's keeping up appearances more than it is a promise that this guy will be around long, at a place like Florida anywaysHow do you fire a guy you just extended and look your players in the face?
