If McElwain goes to Florida that yanks one of the leading candidates out of the Nebraska pool, gets McElwain out of the Fort and best of all............
Dave Logan to CSU talk.
Florida AD on his way to Ft. Fun.
I'm with ya. I want to kick his ass SO bad.**** that. I want that asshole in Ft. Collins till he has a losing record against CU. Galls me that they will have a coach leave with a winning record.

Hold on a second. I thought there was this giant buyout that nobody in their right mind would even think about paying.
ok, that's a bit sad. i skimmed the ramnation threads. some of them actually appear surprised that a coach would leave an also-ran to coach in the bigs. others believe they are going to hire a big name. and, still others think their talented players are going to transfer and play in the sec.
i used to mock them for their ignorance, but now i just feel sad for them. in a certain way, it must be comforting to be so myopic as to believe that your program can compete in the new world order, when all facts suggest otherwise.
i heard that uf is going to try to offset the buyout by offering the sheep a couple of games at uf. that's even more insulting. "we have your coach and now we will pay you a sum you are too poor to refuse to come and be our bitch."
seriously, this is a bit sad.
for them.
If CSU hires Hoke or Kiffin, we're liable to earn another big "Buy-Out" fee... maybe CSU could help fund that new OCS over a few years???
Who does CSU try to hire at this point?
Guys - they have to hire an Athletic Director before they can start thinking about hiring a head coach. Think about that for a second.
I have strong suspicions that McElwain knew he was leaving after this year, especially after Graham was let go.
The extension & buyout were likely done to benefit CSU (while giving him some cover if things went to **** this year and he had to stay).
Part of why I think that is because he hasn't recruited much this year. They've only got 6 guys committed (and 1 of them was a JUCO who originally committed to CSU a couple years ago but had to get his transcripts in order).

Agreed, Nik. He's a good coach. A good coach who knew he was probably going to continue to do well after the first few weeks. He got the extension and then got the deal figured out with UF during the bye week. Nice of him to do that extension.I have strong suspicions that McElwain knew he was leaving after this year, especially after Graham was let go.
