Not saying I agree with the overall premise, but Shart’s recruiting has been far superior to what Chimp did here, as well as being far more balanced. And while Chimp inherited some good talent, so did Shart. The team he took to title game was dominated by Richt’s recruits. As for the offense, the o-line and running back recruiting at Ugly far, far, exceeds anything we saw here. I think we all know how well they’ve recruited at the QB position.

If you don't think WM tried to tear down the program with his incompetence, I don't know what to tell you. He inherited a team full of current NFL players and either ran them off, or ran them into the ground with his nonsense. He and JM didn't have remotely the same starting points, and through their first three seasons, JM had a better record despite those circumstances.
And as for bs lies to throw attention elsewhere, do you mean things like "Urban left a broken program", "midline", "get a grip, I won 11 games last year", etc.? Is that what you mean?
But just to really put into perspective this "bad coach but good guy" you're defending. When Mark Richt was fired from uga after taking them to levels not seen since the early '80s and averaging 9+ wins, he took a job at miami. Shortly after, his long time commit, Jacob Eason, who was going to uga because of him, called and asked what he should do. Richt told him he should stick and didn't even encourage a visit to the canes. That, my friend, is leaving with a measure of class and being decent about it.
In stark contrast, WM had his children wearing Aub clothes to their Gville schools immediately after being fired here and instantly began almost solely recruiting the players that were either committed or heavy UF leans, trashing his former program in the process.
I'm all for dissenting opinions, and you're certainly welcome to your own. But make not mistake about this, WM is an arrogant prick who deserves every ounce of disdain that comes his way from UF fans.

This is a depressing post because he was probably the best OC we had for a decade pre-Mullen.
As to Bushmaster and Zook, just because you have a mentally challenged relative and shouldn’t pick on him for it, you still might hate him if he accepted several million dollars to work as a security guard of your house, but instead started a fire and watched it burn without grabbing a fire extinguisher. Yes, it’s mostly the fault of the guy who hired him, but it’s still hard to look past.
Fortunately, Machen saw the fire starting and brought his own fire fighter in Meyer before the entire building burned down.
Unsatisfied with only one wing of the house charred, and not needing to fix it to keep up with the neighbors’ property values, Foley finished the job by hiring a Dawg to restart the inferno.

Already posting buyout stories on the USC boards:
Comparing Muschamp's buyout terms to the rest of the SEC
Comparing Muschamp's buyout terms to the rest of the SEC
The total sum of Muschamp’s contract, including this season, is $29.4 million. Seventy-five percent of that total is $22.05 million, which is what would be owed to Muschamp if he’s terminated before December 31, 2019. If he’s terminated effective January 1, he would be owed $18.75 million as a buyout.
The number would drop as follows:
If terminated on Jan. 1, 2021: $15.3 million
If terminated on Jan. 1, 2022: $11.7 million
If terminated on Jan. 1, 2023: $7.95 million
If terminated on Jan. 1, 2024: $4.05 million

I don't know how you pay this much money to a coach no one else wanted.
it's not like this is an elite coach and you're bidding against five other teams.

It's the same thing Tenn did w/ Pruitt. At least the Miss schools gave their two coaches a small buyout (somewhere around $2 million, which is significantly smaller than these huge buyouts for unproven/unwanted coaches)...

I love him even more.
Hopefully he can convince Tennessee to hire Chimp or Zook next.

I think he was getting some payback for when they sh*t all over him at the end after he had given them the best years in their history of playing football. If it wasn’t for Spurrier’s 86-49 record while was was there they’d be under .500 overall in their history.

See jimblow, the only difference aTm can afford the mistake. In fact they afford it every 5-7 years.

I don’t get why programs pay obscene amounts to coaches who have a well documented history of failure. It’s one thing to pay a supposed up and coming coach (Butters) who has shown success at a lower level and believe/hope that success will follow, but to (over)pay a coach who has already proven he can’t run a program, unless it’s into the ground, is mind boggling.

That $75 M contract is yet another sign the world is getting crazier. That’s silly money and a ridiculous contract term for a 2d tier coach.
