This is going to be a very interesting off season.

No way Florida goes after Norvell -- he's too inexperienced...   ;)

Neuhesel said a couple of weeks ago that he believes Frost might not want the Nebraska job because he knows they eat their own up there. He is a legend as a player and might not want to try to live up to the expectation of Big Red.

As a Nebraska guy as he is I don't think either of these are legit reasons for him to turn down his school.

And Nebraska money isn't that far off from SEC money.

Maybe. But if you are a competitor do you think about going and failing? Especially at a place with as much traditional as Nebraska?

Yeah, maybe they'll go after a guy like Muschamp again.  Seems to have worked out great for them the first time!  Keep going after those empty barrels.

I guess hog fans may find out how much Norvell likes the hog helmet.

Exactly. For those of you who said the Hogs shouldn't fire Bielema during the season, take a look at Florida. They are about to fire their HC.

Sumlin at A&M is good as gone too since he lost again tonight. 

So, Florida, Ole Miss, A&M and Tennessee will all be looking for new coaches.  Arkansas may be too.

I don't typically blame Long for this mess we're in now but if he sits around twiddling his thumbs and all the good coaches get hired while we're waiting on a season that doesn't even matter to be finished then most people are gonna be pissed.

Florida is in a tailspin because they fired Muschamp too soon, he's a decent coach but the AD listened to the fans. Now they are going to fire the next coach to hire another and fire him in 3 years.  All these decisions are too tactical and not enough strategic vision by the AD.

Mid season, for cause - that cause LYING TO THE AD. Imagine that.

I wonder if how Florida treats McElwain now will harm them in a coaching search - if they decide to get rid of him, especially if he doesn't get a buy out? Suddenly going to the SEC Championship twice isn't good enough because in year 3 he's had a couple of losses. Look at what happened to LSU. Regardless if it was time for Les Miles to go or not, he had a highly successful career and he was treated like garbage in the end. Even if LSU's top 2 targets turned them down, there should have been a lot more high quality coaches vying for that job. Instead they get Orgeron. And isn't it strange the Coach O got a ridiculously high buyout in his contract? Maybe Coach O was able to leverage that deal because their bad treatment of Les did serious damage in how coaches view that job now?

But back to Florida, do you think coaches may view that job as a ridiculously short leash? At least Beliema and Jones were given amble amount of time and resources.

Both Florida and FSU are in a tailspin right now. Don't know about FSU, but the Gators are looking for a home run hire. Mac is crispy done.

Any coach Florida wants, will go to Florida instead of Arkansas, regardless of who calls first.

Whoever Norvell's agent is, or any other coach's agent...it's their job to know who's shopping. They know it now.

And Florida is a bigger job than Arkansas. They know that, too.

Agree for the most part but like Finnebaum said about Auburn, and it rings true with UF, you go 8-4 at either school you'll get fired but go 8-4 here they'll throw you a parade. 

One more question, did UF's coach lie to the AD about death threats??  Guess I haven't paid close enough attention but I heard he had death threats then all is support backed off. 
I need to be more like my dog...if you can't fight it, screw it, or eat it, then piss on it.

Yep!

Tradition, Climate, Big Money, Media Loves them some Florida, Recruiting Base and they are in the east, the easier division of the two.  Beat Georgia, which is getting tougher and your in the SEC Championship game.

What if they don't fire him until after the season for losing and lying to the AD?
Quote from: 1990sHogBallChild on March 04, 2023, 04:08:32 pmWe have peaked... lucked his way to two elite 8s by getting the most favorable draws in tourney history. Beat the most over-rated 1 seed in the history of college basketball in Gonzaga who would be a 6 seed if they played in a real conference. Then Muss's other 5 tourney wins are against an average of a 12 seed. A few dozen coaches could have done that. Two losing records in SEC play is as much as MA had in 8 years.

It may not be that easy or cheap for Florida to get rid of McElwain.

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/florida-football/fire-mcelwain-cause-uf-administration-better-right/

It seems likely that the University Athletic Association knows it is behind on the "for cause" argument, and hope to use the "death threat" incident as leverage in any buyout negotiations.

The problem for Florida there, however, is what happens if Jimmy Sexton — a respected agent in the coaching industry — calls their bluff. Sexton and McElwain might be willing to litigate the "for cause" question, alleging there's not enough there, and putting UF at substantial risk of a negative verdict, which could add hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees to any buyout when all is said and done.

In the best-case scenario, Florida's lawyers could hope the "death threats" incident, coupled with the credit card suspensions and pending litigation over the Antonio Callaway Title IX investigation might create a cumulative case for termination "for cause." But this too seems less like a quality "for cause" case and more like a potentially effective buyout negotiation mechanism.

Bottom line? If Florida elects to terminate McElwain "for cause," it should prepare for lengthy litigation on the question of whether McElwain's conduct rises to a level justifying termination "for cause."

The thinking here is that's not an argument the University of Florida can win.

And that's a reality that makes a messy situation even more complicated, and potentially, more expensive.

I want BB gone, but with all of the jobs that are opening up this is a horrible situation for Arkansas to be in.  Hiring a coach after this season is going to be a massive crap shoot....

In a particular case that's not true but my inside info from my cousin says that Long would have to be fired.  Then Arkansas would beat Florida for a coach.  Someone WANTS to be the next Razorback coach.
