For the last month or so I have said I am waiting on the stoop. What I can say today thats for certain is what a huge relief it is just knowing this painful era is finally over and I am feeling the best I have felt in years. Just knowing I will never have to be subject to another one of those miserable games is a fantastic feeling. I feel like we are going to land a slam dunk exciting coach that will take us back to the top in short order. I wont miss anything about these last 4 years. Go Gators!!

He is still finishing the season, so you have at least 2 more Muschamp coached games.

For the first time in four years I absolutely cannot wait for the Orange & Blue game. Remember Muschamp O&B's? Extended scrimmages and so boring as to prefer a root canal without novocaine. I already have my depth charts printed out and ready to do some roster study. It's not even 24hrs since the deed and I'm already as giddy as a teenager on a first date.

Just jumping in here so if someone already brought up Schiano disregard this but I've heard from a source that he's on the list.....

With two games left what would it have really helped. This follows how Foley has handled these things in the past. He waited until the season was done (we are out of the SEC East race) and made a decision.

He just signed an extension this year. His buyout will probably not be huge, but since it was just signed, it'll be an obstacle.

Stoops signed a contract extension this past summer putting his salary at $5.25M per year and it's believed that he has a sizeable buyout clause on his contract. According to one article early in the year:

Just reporting the info I have gotten from multiple sources, boys. One of them actually didn't think it would happen, as he said some anti-Stoops people were in Foley's ear. THEN I got a PM less than an hour later confirming from that same person he had just gotten off the phone and the hire was indeed going to be Bob Stoops.
I guess time will tell, but you have my word I haven't made anything up. Whether or not my sources have is unknown. I'm not sure what's in it for them to lie to me in private conversations.

I think many of us are hoping your sources are accurate - only time will tell. If money is no object, then I can see this. With Stoops just receiving an extension, you have to believe that the buyout clause is similar to Sumlin's and in the $5M range. That on top of the $7-$9M buyout of Muschamp and staff as well as putting at least $5.5M-$6M on the table for Stoops would put the UAA somewhere in the neighborhood of a $20M hit. I'm not saying it wouldn't happen, but it will certainly speak volumes about how much they wanted Stoops and want to turn things around. If Stoops is their man, then I wouldn't be surprised if we offer him in the range of where Saban is at - $6M+
