No one will ever come here if he leaves.
He’s not gonna give up that salary voluntarily.
Like he's some kind of actually desired commodity?
Hopefully they understand that he'll likely have to take a WAC type job again
Good point. We would not play any worse if there was no coaching staff and the players drew up plays in the dirt.That may be better than what we have now...
I think it’s pretty common to have HCs on at least 4 year contracts for recruiting purposes. It’s insane how much it costs to hire/fire a coach these days,I'm still trying to make sense of Stricklin's decision to extend Mac a year. Don't ADs who come in after the fact normally take a more measured approach? Stricklin didn't hire him.
Then what made him enamored of Mac? Was it the SEC East title? The huge bowl win? Or that Stricklin's baseline is Mississippi State?
BTW, why do we have an AD from Starkville?

I think you’re missing my point. They keep them under contract for 4 years out at all times to avoid the negative recruiting. I don’t agree with the premise, but it appears to be standard practice these days.But wouldn't you have wanted to wait at least three seasons before getting out the pen? Strikes me as premature ejac. And from, of all people, a new AD.
Dunno. The longer I'm around, the less I know.
Not to worry, guys. Bucky isn't going anywhere. He has the Administration convinced that he knowsI'll avoid being defensive over Dodd referring to Mac as "offensive-minded."
My guess is Mac has several million reasons why he should hang in and let UF be the one to send him packing.

According to TOS Mac's buyout is only 3 if he walks but 12 of we fire him. So he's not too expensive.
