We offered a coach top 10 money, wouldn't that be tier 1 money?

But if we end up getting a third tier and he brags about how we got him on the cheap, then this will impress no one-recruits included. We can sugarcoat it all we want, but what is left is the third tier. During normal times we could not even be considering these people, let alone calling them. That is like dating a woman that you are unattracted to convincing yourself that in right light she looks awesome. CSU, lost to every mediocre team on its weak cupcake schedule, Air Force and Boise State. They beast Utah State by 3 pts and Nevada and San Jose State by a TD. This is most unimpressive to me.

Lol yeah seriously. It's way too early for the overreactions like I've seen from somecornbread;n121593 said:we need to forfeit all games next year, there isn't going to be a coach hired because it has been three days since the season ended, way to long for a coaching search

Gator98MD;n121608 said:So, realistically who do we think its going to be now? Hudspeth seems to fit the Slevin theory. Mcelwain just doesnt blow my skirt up
The Original DC;n121618 said:Phone conversation between Foley and Bob Stoops, leaked by DCMZ, here's the transcript:
Foley: Bobby, I know you said you were interested but you wanted to wait until after your final game to have serious discussions. I'm fine with that, but just a heads-up, we're going to be vetting Jim McElwain, Hugh Freeze and Josh McDaniels. I'd be irresponsible if I didn't have a plan B, sir. Any reports that we've offered anyone else are not true, you are our only guy. Looking forward to talking to you Sunday, good luck in your game.
Stoops: I understand, we'll talk soon, Go Gators!
Gator Fever;n121617 said:Hard to say but my guess would be someone like Hudspeth or Holliday. I think the real big names are mostly off the table now.
