An interesting twist to this Mac story I received via text last night... He suggests that part of the negotiation with CSU (buyout) is UF hosting CSU for an OOC game with a payout of 1.5 million +. He also mentioned that the president of CSU made some type of verbal agreement with Mac that would allow him to leave, without penalty, for a "dream job." "Dream job" wasn't defined...as in, specific schools weren't named. I've not bothered to research this to see if it has any validity: it certainly seems feasible.
I ran across this on Twitter Saturday...in the same vein for a little Asian humor...(and, read it as "I'm a sign" when I first glanced at it. )
Right now Fla is trying to get someone in place. Right now schools are going after their verbals in the recruiting game. LSU has one coming in for a visit. An are talking with a couple more.
And Foley still hasn't gotten a signature on a contract. Makes me wonder if McElwain and his agent are talking to folks in Ann Arbor and/or Lincoln?
Playing both sides of the fence? You don't say, A bidding war for Mc. There's a hot name. What I wouldn't give to have Mc at LSU.
Probably his agent continuing the bidding process. McElwain will end up at Florida after they up the ante a bit. He wouldn't win enough quick enough to satisfy the Michigan folks and Nebraska is not your Daddy's Nebraska anymore. Hard to regain past glory in a state that not only doesn't have great high school football, is in the middle of a cornfield but there aren't even any nearby states to recruit worth a shit. Nebraska borders on Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Missouri, South Dakota, and Colorado. Tom Osborne won with nationally recruited skill players and home grown corn and beef fed farmboy linemen who pumped iron and took steroids all day. Can't prove the steroids but some of those guys were stronger than the bulls on the farms they left behind.
He will bring down the buyout price and agree to host a game or two with CSU for a million or more payout each game
