From what I read we did offer Gundy. He rejected it.
I think we offered Kelly around $5.5 million.
Dang I didn't know you were on the Jet to NH......From what I read we did offer Gundy. He rejected it.

For all those huffing and puffing about the 6 million per year:
1. He was making over 4 at MSU, and apparently they were contemplating upping it to close to 6
2. Like him or not, at least we know that UF is now willing to pony up and pay the big bucks.
3. Mostly importantly, his buyout is only $500k. If he is as bad as many here think he is, at least the buyout won't be an obstacle. I think it shows a lot of stones on Mullen's part to leave a safe and secure job to come into the lion's den with not a lot of financial backstop.
FWIW
To be honest, I have serious doubts about that this is true for a few reasons. First, it's being reported that he is at least talking to UT about their job. Why would a coach prefer UT over UF, especially after this recent fiasco? Only vol alums would do that. Second, Strickland contacted Mullen on Friday since his last game was on Thrusday. Gundy played on Saturday. I doubt they would have serious discussions with him until after his final game, and by that time they already offered Mullen. They hired Mullen so quickly that they didn't leave much time to discuss the job with other coaches.
It's possible that they contacted him, and his reply was that he doesn't want to think about it until the season was over. So instead of waiting, they offered Mullen because his season was already over. But if they did go ahead and offer Gundy, I also have my doubts that they offered him 6 million.
I'm very curious as to when they offered him for my reasons stated, and I still have my doubts that the offer was for 6 million, but you deserve a like for providing the link.
Hell, T. Boone Pickens farts more money than that. BTW, Gundy's currently making $4.2m and rumor has it UT is offering to double it.I'm very curious as to when they offered him for my reasons stated, and I still have my doubts that the offer was for 6 million, but you deserve a like for providing the link.

Dan Mullen, football coach at Florida. A football program barely alive. Gentlemen, can he rebuild it? We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's next National Champion. Can Dan Mullen be that man? A program better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster.
If his MSU buyout was 500K why would we agree to 12 Million? I don't get putting 12 million on the back end that almost seems like an incentive to get fired. All I can guess is his agent told us Tenn was offering this kind of buyout so we had to match it.I was under the impression that $500k was his MSU buy out and his UF buy out was $12 million?
