What a stupid statement, on par for your dumb ones but man...it never ends with you. I doubt any of us knew he was from FIU, or what his salary was or what he's paid at Houston. But you selectively highlight pay as why we didn't go for someone like him, as opposed to acknowledging an FIU guy has done well?
Would it be better if we paid an ass ton of money for an assistant from a great program that turned out not to be worth anything? Would it be acceptable if we got a gem like him from Podunk U and he turned out great, even if he wasn't demanding top dollar?
Your comments are tired and the only message they convey is you still have sand in your vagina. Take the long way home and think about your attitude, son. Maybe that chaffing will give you a reason to change.
I agree. I posted a thread about a month ago that our assistants all got big raises (our DC makes over $900K now)....and Law even responded to that thread (w/ "it's about time" or something like that)....then just a week or so ago posted that we don't pay our assistants well. Our assistants make roughly the same as most schools of our stature - now (not when we hired McElwain, but now).
Here's the original thread:

Looks like someone opened the checkbook:

New contract details for Florida assistants released
Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins became one of the highest-paid assistant coaches in college football Monday when he signed a new deal worth $900,000 per year over the next two seasons, according to documents provided to
GatorBait.net via an open records request. Collins also earned a $150,000 retention bonus in February and will be given another if he’s still on the Gators staff in Feb. 14, 2017.
The second-year coordinator reportedly interviewed for the head coaching job at UCF this offseason, which may have upped Florida’s ante on a new deal. The Gators also gave new deals to co-defensive coordinator Randy Shannon (two years, $409,750), offensive line coach Mike Summers (two years, $498,500) and new defensive backs coach Torrian Gray (two years, $335,000).
Defensive line coach Chris Rumph was given a one-year extension and $85,000 raise, which brings his salary up to $500,000 per year. Rumph is now signed through the 2017 season.
Offensive coordinator Dough Nussmeier was also extended through 2017, while running backs coach Tim Skipper, wide receivers coach Kerry Dixon and tight ends coach Greg Nord are still under contracts through the 2016 campaign. All three coaches signed two-year deals when they joined Jim McElwain’s staff in December 2014.

And here's another post from the thread for comparison:

In addition, athletic director Stan Wilcox received a raise to $757,985 (up from $510,000).

Here's a comment from Law:
I'm not happy about giving most of these guys raises but I'm happy that we aren't paying Sunbelt salaries anymore.
