No one forced Florida to give McElwain such a high buyout. Seems pretty short sighted to not just pay the man what he was guaranteed and move on from your mistake. Not like Florida is lacking for money.

yeah totally why would the university want to save millions of dollars? it's not like it would keep the boosters happy or anything.

Why do the fans care? They're gonna fire him anyways and on the margin dicking over your coach over their buyout will harm finding the next coach.

I just find it weird that the fans seem to be happy that Florida's trying to screw over McElwain when they bear none of the cost

Dicking over the coach?

Have you been following this story? :confused:

Don’t hate the player hate the game.

I mean the whole ''making up death threats' thing seems flimsy as hell. Gonna be hilarious in 5 years when McElwain finally wins the lawsuit and UF is stuck paying his full buyout and the buyout of the next coach they fire

It's actually super irresponsible and shows horrible judgment and paints the fan base in a terrible light but ok!

I'll take my chances on someone in Florida having done or said something stupid w.r.t. Jim McElwain

Maybe you poo poo gold ingots, but $13 million is a lot of money for any athletic department. Between the unreported/fake death threat statement and the players charged with the credit card fraud scam, things aren't exactly ship shape in Gainesville under his watch. Why wouldn't they try to reduce or even remove his buyout?

They extended him this summer!

So actually by paying a bad coach and possible liar a bunch of money for doing nothing it’s actually a win for the athletes. Good point. He’s the real victim here. It’s bad that colleges make a bunch of money on these kids but good when coaches get paid millions to get fired.

No one would give a poo poo about this death threats thing if UF was 7-1 this year. It seems pretty stupid for everyone to suddenly pretend like they care if a football coach reports random Twitter death threats.

UF signed a contract with an employee and they’re trying to get out of paying him what he’s owed. That’s pretty lovely!

And all the employee had to do make literal millions for doing a bad job and getting fired was not do something that might give the university cause to fire him.

Also, your argument applies with no modification to golden parachutes for lovely fired executives.

A big part of the problem with corporate governance/golden parachutes is that CEOs often sit on the board or have too cozy of a relationship with the board and exert undue influence. So often they’re writing their own contracts.

UF didn’t need any help to shoot itself in the dick so it’s not exactly the same.

Having seen both campuses, and having visited Tallahassee and the surrounding pine barrens of the panhandle, I don't know what makes FSU superior to Florida. Both are big money championship programs. I would give Florida the edge, but really it's splitting hairs.

I think they're definitely very close but FSU still has an easier path to the playoffs in the ACC than Florida in the SEC. Obviously that advantage has shrunk a bit the last few years with Clemson's rise
